ALL ABOUT THE 7 CHAKRAS

Although it is not important for you to know each and every chakra, it is important to know the basics on chakras.

In Sanskrit, the word chakra refers to wheel' or "disk and you have heard me refer to chakras as your energy centers in the body. There are hundreds of different chakras in your body, but I focus on the seven main chakras, unblocking and keeping the wheels of your energy centers flowing with abundance. These seven main chakras each have a specific location on your spine.

For each chakra a blockage can have physical manifestations in your body. If these blockages are constantly ignored, they can eventually manifest in the body as physical illnesses and diseases.
