What is Chakra?

Chakra signifies one of seven energy centers in the body that corresponds to the seven main nerve centers. The chakra system has been used for thousands of years as an integral part of holistic healing originating from the ancient Hindu system. The seven main chakras reflect aspects of consciousness and govern our lives, loves, learning and spiritual awakenings.
