Chakras are energy centers located at specific points between the base of the spine and the top of the skull. Each chakra relates to particular organs of the body, ailments, colors, elements, and emotions.

Chakra balancing promotes health by maximizing the flow of energy in the body, much as a tune-up enables a car to operate at peak efficiency. Balancing the chakras can promote general health and well-being by ensuring the free flow of life energy (also known as prana or qi ) throughout the body.
