Chakra - Some Basic Explanations

The very word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means circle or circle ... The chakra is part of the esoteric theories about physiology and psychic centers that appeared in Eastern traditions (Buddhism, Hinduism). The theory assumes that human life exists simultaneously in two parallel dimensions: one "physical body", and another "psychological, emotional, mental, non-physical", called "Thin body" .

This subtle body is energy, and the physical body is mass. The plane of the psyche or mind corresponds to and interacts with the plane of the body, and the theory is that mind and body influence each other. The subtle body is made up of nadis (energy channels) connected by nodes of psychic energy known as chakra.
