The seven main energy centres located along the spine in the body are called chakras. Every chakra is packed with nerves and major organs of the body and the individual’s emotional, psychological and spiritual state of being. Even if a single chakra get blocked or disturbed, then the free and balanced flow of energy throughout the body is disrupted and can lead to physical illnesses and emotional issues as well. Unclogged and clean chakras promote undisturbed energy flow through the body which is essential for the well being of the mind, body and spirit.
