What are Chakras?

The word chakra comes from a Sanskrit (East Indian) word that means wheel. For thousands of years, they have been visualized as round balls of light that can open, close, darken, brighten, and spin. Their locations represent different aspects of human experience. Our emotions, physical health, and the ability to connect with others are all thought to be reflected in the condition of the chakras.
