The word Chakra is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning, "Wheels of Light.” Chakras are spiralling energy centres in our body. Everything in the universe is made up of pure energy. Every plant, human and living thing is made up of this pure energy. There are 7 main Chakras with many little ones in each of us.
