Your
Chakras - functions & meanings:
Your
body is pure energy, said the ancients, and says modern quantum physics.
The ancients found that your being (body) has 7 main centers called
Chakras,
which are spinning wheels of energy that are the basis for your emotional
and physical health. These are at the heart of ancient Hindu Ayurvedic
Medicine, and ancient Chinese Medicine, which have a cure for every
disease known
to western medicine and a successful rate of healing those diseases
which is as good or
better than western medicine. Menu |
