Chakas, often spelled as "chakras," are energy centers in the body according to various spiritual and healing traditions, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. There are seven main chakras, each associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life. They are believed to influence overall well-being and balance. Each chakra is located along the spine, starting from the base and moving up to the crown of the head. The chakras are often represented by colors and symbols, and practices like yoga and meditation aim to align and balance these energy centers to promote health and harmony.
