THE CHAKRAS, THE TRUE WHEELS OF THE HUMAN BODY

Abstract

Chakras (Wheels) are the psychic centers in the body that are active at all times, whether we are conscious of them or not. Energy moves through the Chakras to produce different psychic states. The ancient Indian science of Yoga therefore laid great emphasis on knowing these elements for the Chakras. In the ancient science of Swara Yoga (The Yoga of conscious breathing), various methods to identify the presence of the tattvas in the body are prescribed, and by mastering these techniques Yogis can perform themselves so as to accomplish much by using the least possible amount of energy. By the constant practice of Shat Chakra Bhedhana (piercing the six Chakras by visualization) & Mantra Japa (Mantra Recitation), they can finally transcend the tattvas which dominate the five centers of the body – That is the First Five Chakras – and there by achieving the Non-Duel Consciousness that liberates them from the illusory world of Maya.
