CHAKRA CENTRES OF THE BODY

Chakras are the 7 traditional energy centres of the body. Each centre has a specific physical and emotional association. If any of these centres are blocked, so will the energy of that particular emotion and bodily organ also be blocked. Traditional Chinese Medicine e.g. acupuncture therapy, aims to restore the flow of energy through these centres. So does the practice of yoga postures, reiki, massage, and meditation.
