The word Chakra has its origin from the Sanskrit word cakra which stands for wheel or disc. The 7 chakras are believed to be the major energy centers in our body it is also believed that by activating these chakras we can attain the sahasra or in other words understand the Brahman or kundalini within us. The chakras are mostly considered to enlighten our spiritual self but they are closely related with physical mental and emotional health of a person. A few years back when I was a little kid a soap opera was aired in some Hindi channel in which the super hero activated his chakras everyday and as a little kid I never knew what it was and wondered if I had those I might even turn into a super hero. The chakras are the channels that help us understand our true potential within us .It bridges the gap between physical body and inner self and helps us to understand the hero within ourselves.
