The 7 Major Chakras

This page contains a chart of the 7 major chakras, or energy centers, of the body, and the areas of the body and life experience with which they are associated.  These are generalizations, of course, and the functioning of an area associated with a particular chakra is ultimately affected by the interactions of all of the chakras.

This chart is meant only as a jumping off point for further study.  Not everyone agrees on the exact location and functions of the chakras, although most would agree with the glands and parts of the body associated with the various chakras.

There are many excellent discussions of chakras on the web and in books.  Reading these, combined with the investigation of your own experience of the chakras through meditation, observation or participation in energy healing, will help you to develop a familiarity with yourself as an “energetic being”.

It is also important to note that it is possible to help bring the chakras into a greater state of health and balance without a lot of knowledge about them.  We can learn to work with energy simply as energy, without having to know what it is associated with or means.

    Hello said,
    We suggest that you read the information on this website about energy healing. You might also want to read some of the books on our recommended book list.

    Another way to start to learn healing is with our Everyday Energy Healing CD (also available as an mp3). It is a perfect introduction to energy healing and chakra balancing.
