Chakras and their Relation with Yoga
Keywords:
Yoga, Chakras, Nadis, Human Body etcAbstract
Chakras are a basic concept of yoga. Chakras are commonly considered to be centers of
concentrated metaphysical energy. The Chakras are energy hubs in the body which are important for
physical, mental and spiritual comfort. They are located on the spinal Cord where flow of energy is
intensified due to congregation of energies from various neuronal centers. Every Chakra is also
related to a specific Endocrine organ which is helpful in healing of a blocked energy center.
Although clear physiological effects exist for yoga practices, no explanation of how chakras
influence physiological function has been broadly accepted either in the scientific community or
among yoga scholars. This Problem is exacerbated by the fact that. Yoga is based on subjective
experience, and practitioners often shun objective descriptions.
