Chakras are energy centers in the body that are believed to influence physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. There are seven main chakras, each located along the spine, starting from the base and moving up to the crown of the head. Each chakra is associated with specific functions, colors, and elements. The concept of chakras originates from ancient Indian traditions and is often linked to practices like yoga and meditation. Balancing these energy centers is thought to promote harmony and health, while blockages may lead to various issues, both physical and emotional.
