"The Chakra"
Chakra is a Sanskrit word, meaning “wheel” or “circle,” and refers in this instance to a series of subtle energy centers that rise up along the length of the spine. The chakras are said to spin, and are envisaged as lotus flowers (another name for them is the “lotus centers”). Each chakra/lotus is a different color and has a different number of petals according to each particular chakra’s meaning and function, in relation not only to the body, but to the mind and spirit too. Meditation and yoga are believed to help balance the chakras, which in turn promotes good health. Any depiction of the chakras contains the symbol of the great serpent Kundalini curled three and a half times at the base of the spine, which relates to the primal creative energy that rises up through healthy chakras when a person is ready to be awakened to such an experience.
