The 11 Powerful Chakras of the Body used for Pranic Healing

The word Chakra has been derived from the Sanskrit word chakra, which means wheel. These are the whirling centres of energy and are part of the subtle body and not the physical body. They can be compared to the major and minor organs. Just as the physical body has minor and vital organs, the subtle or the energy body has the minor, major and the mini chakras. The major chakras are like the power stations that energize and infuse life energy or prana to the vital organs. With the malfunctioning of the chakras, the corresponding vital organs deteriorate. There are a total of 11 major chakras and several minor and mini chakras pranic healing works with.
