Answer 1

I'm just learning. I have cd called Chakra Dhyana and it is really helping me.

Answer 2

There are 7 "major" chakras but our bodies actually have quite a few minor ones.  They are used to create better health and harmony within ourselves by having them properly aligned.

Answer 3

Chakra refers to energy forces within us all. In order to best use your chakra, there are 7 of them, I would recommend trying to find out where you are centered. Books by Caroline M. Myss PHD can help you figure this out.

My strongest chakra is the 2nd chakra which focuses on my creative strength. So, to use this chakra, I would focus my mind, heart, and spirit on creating relationships, goals, art to bring out the best of who I am.

Answer 4

Chakras are energy chambers in the body.  There are seven of them and they each hold a different kind of energy, according to their position on the body.  There is the root or earth chakra at the base of the spine, the solar plexus or water chakra just above it, the fire chakra in your stomach, the air or love chakra in your heart, the song or truth chakra in your throat, the light or insight chakra in your third eye, and the crown chakra on the top of the head.  

I have heard the term 'chakra' used incorrectly to mean the energy itself, but thats not quite right.    

If you are interested in understanding and using the energy, then you must start out on a path of self improvement and try to clear any energetic blockages that exist in your chakras.  Once they are unblocked and your energie can flow freely then using the energy will become easier.  As far as actually using it, its very hard to explain, but physical activity usually helps.  Tai chi, Chi gong, pretty much any Martial art, Yoga, running, swimming, biking etc. Whatever gets you moving will help.  And if you can get a book about what blocks and unblocks each chakra from the library or the book store then you can get a much more complete understanding.

One thing I do is I put the palms of my hands as close together as they can go without touching and then focus my energy into them.  At first they would just tingle, and I could feel like, a little ball of energy in between them.  The more I tried this, the stronger the feeling became until my hands started to feel magnetic.  When I would breathe in I could feel their magnetic attraction, and when I breathed out, I felt their repulsion.  Its pretty cool.

Don't be afraid to try it.  If you keep an open mind a whole new world of possibility opens up to you.

Answer 5

there are hundreds through out our body.

new ones are appearing at our shines,

if you get a phychic reading its a good idea not to cross your legs.

each chakra is represented as a flower with a certain number of petals.

its the source of everything.our very being.

they are connected to something akin to a spiders web.

and they act up when they are blocked.

or telling us to speak, or flee,or dream.

try to draw breath through the top of your head and our your heart center...especially when you speak.

Answer 6

chakra (pronounced shakra) is a system of energies related to hinduism belief. There are 7 if I am not mistaken, they can be felt not seen, only life energy can be seen through ones aura, chakra is within the body. Unless of course you watch too much Naruto and if thats the case I suggest you look into Qi, chi, or ki energies and the chakra system to get your facts straight.
