According to the ancient yogis, there are
72,000 "Nadis" Or energy channels Within
the human physical body. are the
same as the "chi" lines in Thai Chi and the
"meridians" in Chinese medicine. These
energy channels are a part ofthe "subtle"
body. The channels cross at various places
through out the body. There are 7 main
places along the spine where the nadis Cross.
These main energy centers are called
Chakras, or literally "wheels"- "Wheels of
Energy"; Wheels Of Light."
Chakras are the centers Of vital energy in the
body that are responsible for balancing all
levels of being-physical, psychological, and
spiritual. Thus the Mind, Body, Breath
connection that we often hear about. This is
what makes yoga different from a regular
exercise program.
The Chakras regulate the now Of subtle
energy within the body.
Each Chakra resonates at a different
frequency, a different refraction of Infinite
Light. Red has a slower vibration, bends the
least and is with the Root Chakra-
the I" and closest to the Earth. Violet is
refracted the most, vibrates at the highest
frequency and therefore corresponds to the
Crom Chakra, the highest Chakra.
Yoga postures evolved as a means for
opening and balancing the Chakras.
Auras are considered the visible expressions
of the Chakras.
Yogis believe the chakras hold the fullest
potential ofeaeh and every person and are
the key to health.
