Chakras are quite widely accepted as fact in many areas of the world. They are used in acupuncture and eastern medicine but can be seen in various cultures. There are seven main chakras or energy centers in the body and then many more smaller or less significant chakras. The lesser chakras include ones in the palms of the hand which of course become very important in Reiki and other hands-on healing methods. Each chakra is an energy center and is associated with different emotions, physical organs and spiritual relevance. Imagine an energy starting as a pin pointing the center of our body and then emanating as a cone getting wider and wider as it comes out of both the front and the back of our body. Each chakra vibrates at its own frequency and therefore is more tuned into a specific color in the spectrum.
Within each chakra the energy is circulating. When operating at its most efficient, it is clear and bright and the energy is rotating in a smooth circular motion. It will either rotate clockwise or anticlockwise which ever is correct for that individual and in the right speed.

Blocked Chakras
When we have attracted negative energy into our auras we may have clouded, slowed, blocked or even shut down our chakras. When our chakras are working efficiently they are rotating bright beautiful lights in the correct speed and direction for us.
