What are Chakras and WHY are they so Important?

Chakras are simply the major energy "nodes" of the body. There are 7 major Chakras that we talk about on here... the Crown, 3rd Eye, Throat, Heart, Ego Center or Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root. They encompass the energy used in particular gift senses, can be utilized in shielding and healing, rituals, and can also, when not properly aligned or working, can cause illness in the individual. This is why when you are open (even people that are open and unaware), that Chakras are so important to be aware of... as like in your car, you have to have a tune-up every now and then to keep things running smoothly.

In our beginning classes we actually break them down into 9 major Chakras (splitting the Heart into the Higher Heart and the Lower Heart, and the Higher Root and the Lower Root). In our intermediate courses, we incorporate the second Crown Chakra, to make 10 main Chakras that we work with. The Hand's are utilized to push or manipulate energy, though, they are not technically considered Chakras.
