Chakra Sadhana 

 

According to ancient spiritual practices, there are commonly studied 114 chakras within our bodies associated with our routine functionalities, emotions, and wellbeing. These chakras, also known as Energy Centres, are points  where ‘Prana’ (life force energy) accumulates. Out of these, there are 7 main chakras that run parallel to the eastern side of our spine. Anatomically, these chakras are visualized as existing within the body. The first three chakras are Bhoutik (responsible for bodily activities), while the remaining four are Adhyatmik (responsible for major spiritual activities).
