The Human Energy Field and Chakras: Chakras are spinning energy centers located within the subtle body of the auric field. They function as receivers and transmitters of life energy. There are seven primary chakras, aligned in a vertical column from the pelvic floor to the crown of the head. They form the main centers of a system that contains thousands of smaller energy points. This complex circuitry holds within it the keys to our evolution and "whole-ness." The term chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disc. Descriptions of the chakras first appeared in the Vedas, ancient spiritual texts dating back to 2,000 B.C. Spiritual seekers used the chakras as a focus of meditation to raise consciousness.
