There are many definitions of chakras, but they all evolve from the Sanskrit meaning of the word: “wheel of light.” Most authorities agree that they are subtle energy centers that branch from the nervous system.
Chakras hold the chi energy we need to evolve spiritually and to be emotionally healthy, so the clearer they are, the more chi we have available to us for our growth. Spiritual healing is all about clearing out the chakras.
There are 7 main Chakras. Colors are associated with them.
1ST - RED Root Chakra is our Physical vitality. Our center for Vitality, Courage, Confidence, Strength, Security and Determination.

Keep in mind, intention is everything when it comes to healing. Like life itself, how much you believe or would like to achieve for yourself, the same principles apply when healing your mind, body and spirit. Quantum physics and spirituality are beginning to merge into one system.
