I've been asked for more information regarding the chakras, so here you go! (Thanks for asking, by the way...) Much of this information comes from Judy Kovatch, a teacher at yoga4all studio.Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel". Tibetan yogis identify seven major chakras and 122 minor chakras. Each of these major chakras, or energy centers, correlate to an endocrine gland and major nerve ganglia branching out from the spinal column. The chakra wheels are spinning horizontally, like CDs. To picture this, imagine you are above a person's head, looking down. The chakras are inside the body, near the spine, spinning parallel to the earth and horizon.
Tibetan lamas believe that the only difference between old age and youth is the spin rate of the chakras. Ideally, all seven chakras should spin rapidly at the same rate. Aging occurs when activity is blocked or the spin is slowed in one of more of the chakras, so life energy cannot circulate. The key to vibrant health is the speed of the chakra's spin. If the spinning is in harmony, prana is delivered to the endocrine system, and then to all the organs in the body.
