Another word for chakras is the subtle energy system of our body. As you know, the root of everything is energy, thought is energy and so is love; as I’ve indicated on several pages of this inspired shortcuts website.

in whole books - what other men do not say in whole books.'

Inspired Self Help Tool – Grasping Concepts Without Details

When we approach any new concept from the perspective that at some level of our being, we already know about it and therefore, we already understand it: then we have the ability to embrace the overall idea or concept without needing to know all of the details pertaining to it.

For instance: while it was discovered and now generally understood that water boils at a temperature of 100 °C (212 °F), we don’t need to know that detail in order to heat water to boiling point. In the same way, we don’t need to understand all the details concerning how an engine works in order to have the experience of driving a vehicle, right?

By the same token, we don’t need to know about all of the endless details regarding the chakra energy system in order to utilize the overall concept in a self-empowering way. Of course, if you really need to know all of the details about chakras, there are hundreds of books and websites where you can find them.

Inspired Self Help Tool – Introducing the Chakra Energy Centers

The most common definition of chakras is as seven energy centers located within our total body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning a turning wheel or disk. The activity of each chakra is for receiving and transmitting life force energy within our body’s subtle energy system.

Using the analogy of faucets (chakras) and drains (vortices) may assist you to grasp the idea of how energy flows within our bodies. Energy comes into our body through chakras and exits our body through vortices. If there are blockages within the in-flowing or out-flowing energy then an imbalance will occur and dis-ease in the affected area will result.

The chakras run parallel to
the spine from the root chakra at the
base through to the crown chakra
on the top of the head

Looking at the chakra energy system will assist you to understand the role chakras play, in terms of the movement of energy within your physical body and how you might keep them open and balanced; and thus functioning in the way that nature designed them.

Each chakra energy center has unique attributes and characteristics. And upon examining these energy centers we can determine if and where the various parts of our being are unbalanced. By identifying the imbalance, we can then pay attention to and work on those areas with an aim to restoring the balance and harmony of our being.
