Chakras. The name conjures up an image of a human body with seven swirling energy points along the spine, each one of the colors of the rainbow. But what are chakras all about? What do they represent? How does one work with them?

The Sanskrit language word "cakra" simply means wheel or disc. That's a pretty basic and understandable word!
However, when most modern people talk about chakras they aren't talking about a physical wheel. Instead, they're talking about a human-body-related concept which evolved separately in a variety of cultures. Chakras are best known for their association with medieval Buddhists in India, but other cultures such as the pueblo Indians developed similar ideas.

Most practitioners agree on these base concepts.
· There are seven unique chakras.
· Chakras align from the base of the spine up to the crown of the head.
· Chakras are associated with the seven colors of the rainbow.
· Each chakra represents a certain group of properties.
· Chakras involve swirling life energy, sometimes called prana.
If you ask a thousand practitioners about chakras, you'll get answers which generally agree on these concepts, but which diverge when you get into the details.
It's worth noting, of course, that there are people who do not agree on even these basics. Some people feel there are more than seven chakras. Some feel they have no color. So this book covers the generalities that most – but not all – groups share.
I'll strive to cover the different points of view about each chakra in the coming pages.
