This lack of knowledge on the chakras origin is the main reason for widespread misinformation on what they exactly are and how they truly work in the body. Thats why its important to first develop an understanding of the historical background of these powerful energy centers to properly grasp their truth .
The first you need to know is: their origins come from India.
The origins of chakras can be traced back to prehistoric India at around 1500 to 500 BC.
Back then, they were documented in an old text called the Vedas. This ancient collection of information contained some of the oldest scriptures, hymns, liturgical material, and mythological accounts of the Hindu religion.
In Hindu belief, the Vedas were created by Brahma the first of three gods in the Hindu trimurti. Brahma inspired rishis with the knowledge and wisdom they needed to write the Vedas, and thats how the ancient text came to be.
The original Vedas revealed information about cakravartin, which directly translates into the word wheel. They are referred to as wheels due to their association with a vortex of spinning energy.
The second thing you need to know is: there are more than just seven .
Believe it or not, there are actually 88,000 chakras distributed throughout your body. These energy centers are present over every inch of your skin and inside your system. In some practices, its said that these chakras are interconnected.
For instance, reflexology a popular alternative medicine claims that manipulation of various points on the palms and soles of the feet can relieve ailments throughout other parts of the body. These pressure points are said to be energy centers where small collections of spiritual energy are concentrated.
Since they were first discovered, however, 7 of the 88,000 chakras were given primary importance. These seven chakras aligned along the spine area were said to be the most powerful concentrations of energy throughout the body. Tapping into these centers would produce the most pronounced effects on the system, making them of utmost importance to Hindu believers and yogis.
The third thing you need to know is: they are closely related to Yoga .
One of the reasons why chakras have become particularly well-known today is because of the popularization of yoga as a fitness routine. Unbeknownst to modern yoga practitioners, though, the original use of yoga was far less for flexibility and physical fitness.
The origins of yoga are fairly unclear since the practice was passed down through oral storytelling. Some of the earliest information on yoga was transcribed on leaves that were destroyed and lost just a few years after they were written.
What we do know, however, is that yoga dates back over 5,000 years. According to some scholars, the practice was used by early Hindu believers as a way of tying their physical selves to their spiritual facet.
The information shared in the ancient Vedas gave them an understanding of their gods and their power over the lives of believers. Practicing yoga helped attune their physical bodies with their spirit through energy management and made it possible for them to reach the gods .
The history of chakras is extensive; however, these three facts are the perfect introduction to help guide you towards the correct management of these intricate energy centers.
Chapter 1: What Are Chakras?
If you want to know what ties random pains to deeply buried fears and desires, the answer is energy. You will learn what your physical symptoms have to do with mental problems and how these relate to your inner being. You will also learn what binds the different aspects of you into an invisible field of energy.
What Is a Chakra?
The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit language. It means disc or a wheel. In Ayurveda, the term chakra is used to describe the wheels of energy flowing through the human body.
There are seven chakras in total in the human body. These energy wheels, or discs, align with your spine. The chakra system starts from the base of the spine and flows towards the top of the head. You can visualize a chakra as an energy field swirling in places where there is a point of connection between the matter and consciousness. In Ayurveda, the energy that circles through the human body through this process is called Prana. Prana is the vital force of life that keeps a human being alive, healthy, and vibrant.
Why Are Chakras Important?
Each of the chakras resides near the organs that have proven to affect mental health. The root of your spine, the reproductive system, liver and kidneys, heart, throat, and head, all impact the different aspects of your mind.
By understanding this, you can understand how vital the chakras are.

Your well-being depends on whether or not your chakras are fully open and aligned. When you have an energetic blockage in your chakra system, your energy flow will be restricted. Your life force becomes stagnant. This leads to disruptions in your physical and mental health. In the modern world of daily stress, high expectations, and perfectionism, it's tough to keep your chakras open and flowing. By examining your chakra system, you will be able to detect the areas of your body and mind that need extra care. You will know which areas of your health need additional work to establish a better energy flow.
Physical and Spiritual Chakras
