Surprisingly, according to traditional writings, there are thousands of Chakras covering every area of the human body. The majority are so small they are insignificant. Forty of them,found in the hands, and fingertips, feet and shoulders, do have a significant function.
But the main Chakras are the seven that are situated along a central line through the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head.They are located in the ethereal body and they express the embodiment of spiritual energy on the physical plane.
A Chakra is a focal point that is a centre of activity - receiving, absorbing and expressing the energy of the life force. The condition of the Chakras governs the human physical, emotional and spiritual condition. They are the receivers and transmitters of natural energy.
