116: Introduction To The Chakras

Developed during the time of Tantra (the middle ages), the chakra system describes a sophisticated network of energy pathways, or nadis, that course through the body. The most significant pathway is sushumna nadi, which runs along the spine. At various points along sushumna, the energy condenses to form a vortex of energy called a chakra. The energy of these chakras can be understood as governing various aspects of our human experience.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Say the sanskrit and english name of each chakra.

  • Identify the placement of the primary seven chakras in the body and identify each chakra’s associated physical systems.

  • Identify the element, color, mantra, and psychological issue that is associated with each chakra.
