There are major energy centers in the body called Chakras. This word means "wheel" in Sanskrit. They correspond to and work closely with the endocrine glands. These centers have been studied for centuries in the Far East. They funnel spiritual energy into the body, bring vitality to the organs, and each and every cell.

When there are blocks or the energy is not moving fluidly, there are effects on the physical body. Read through the various descriptions and pick out any areas where you are having problems, physical, emotional or spiritual. Notice the associations and try the techniques that are suggested.

It should be noted that there are other Chakras in the body, and are located in various places, such as the palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. The ones I have listed are just the major centers. I have included the Thymus Chakra, which is not considered by many people as being vital, but it deals specifically with the communication with Angels, Masters, and higher energies and I feel it is important. It is not on the above picture. If it were, it would be between the green and light blue centers.
