The Chakras are seven main energy points in the body that run vertically from bottom to top along the spine. They are considered ‘wheels’ of energy that regulate the flow of energy within our body.

Nadis are the ethereal tubes that allow prana to move through the body, just as blood moves through blood vessels. Chakras are located at points where nadis intersect; there are said to be 72,000 nadis throughout the body and thousands of chakras.
