Chakras - Crystalinks
The word comes from the Sanskrit “cakra” meaning “wheel,
circle”, and sometimes also referring to the "wheel of life". The
pronunciation of this word can be approximated in English by “chuhkruh”, with
ch as in chart and both instances – the commonly found pronunciation “shockrah”
is incorrect.
The seven main chakras are described as being aligned
in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each
chakra is associated with a certain color, multiple specific functions, an
aspect of consciousness, a classical element, and other distinguishing
characteristics.
The chakras are thought to vitalise the physical body
and to be associated with interactions of both a physical and mental nature. They
are considered loci of life energy, or prana, which is thought to flow among
them along pathways called nadis.
