Chakras originate from the ancient eastern world and go back further than written documentation, during a time period where traditions were passed orally from generation to generation.
The problem with mainstream spirituality is that it lacks a true conception and a foundation for faith.
There is an acknowledgment of some type of idea but no details as to where these teachings come from and how culturally significant these teachings are.
From this guide, one will be able to grasp the significance of chakras and the roots that they have sprouted.
Only from understanding the foundation of these practices can one truly incorporate them into their daily rituals; the more likely you will find success when applying these teachings to your life.
What are Chakras
Chakras have been known by many names in it's life, but what is agreed upon is that they are transformers of energies in the way that energy can ideally flow freely through them.
Chakras are energy receptors and distributors, this is why a blocked chakra can cause both emotional and physical symptoms.
Whole body aches and pains can be due to blocked chakras, however they are not the cause of all of your emotional and physical traumas.
The opposite is also true for a free flowing chakra alignment can make you feel wonderful, a chakra alignment may not always be the sole solution for your health issues.
Where does chakra practice come from?
The roots of chakra practice can be traced back to Hinduism and tantric Buddhism; and are very similar upon comparison, due to Buddhism being heavily inspired by Hinduism.
When it comes to chakra healing in both religions you can find that it is a physical and spiritual practice; there is not one without the other.
Chakra practice is used as an educational base for Buddhist and Hindu teachings of intentional movement for healing and spiritual balance.
However, it is worth mentioning that most if not all major religions reference some type of energy source that is within us all.
Where religions differ is that they disagree about the components and whereabouts of the essence that gives us sentience (a life with meaning, a life worth living).
As you begin to do your own research on religions and your spiritual roots, you will also begin to notice these same patterns.
