The Chakras do not exist physically in the body, they exist in something called the subtle body. The chakra system is a network of channels consisting of different energy wheels starting at the base of the spine traveling through the crown of the head.

What are The chakras?
- Chakras were first mentioned in the Verdic scriptures thousands of years ago.
- Ancient knowledge of chakras states there are 114 chakras all over the body.
- The 114 chakras are structural and functional and they link to the organs, glands, hormones and to the brain and its neurons.
- There are 7 main chakras along the spine.
- Chakras are apart of an esoteric belief system that emerged from Indian traditions.
- The esoteric belief system is that, humans have two dimensions.
- The two dimensions are the “physical body” and the “non-physical body”.
- The “non-physical body” is referred to as the “subtle body”.
- The “subtle body” is the energy while the “physical body” is the mass.
If you understand that the mind connects and interacts with the body, you can understand that the mind and body affect each other.
