The word Chakra comes from old Sanskrit language and the literal meaning is a wheel. The reason for that is because the life force in other word known as prana is spinning and rotating in your body in these Chakras. More importantly, each Chakra has a different vibrational frequency and in particular, a very specific function and health impact to a particular part of your body or mental function. Each Chakra supports functions of the body, mind and emotions. We have seven major Chakras and they are located along the spine with one more in our head and another on top of our head. Their names are, starting from the top, Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root.
