Chakra意思

"Chakra" is a Sanskrit word that means "wheel" or "disk." In yoga and Ayurveda, chakras are believed to be energy points or centers in the body through which the life force (prana) is believed to flow. There are seven main chakras in the human body, each associated with a specific color, element, and emotional or physical state. These chakras are located along the spine, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. The seven main chakras are:

  1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) - Located at the base of the spine, it is associated with survival, security, and basic needs.
  2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) - Located below the navel, it is associated with creativity, emotions, and sexuality.
  3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) - Located in the abdomen, it is associated with personal power, confidence, and self-esteem.
  4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) - Located in the center of the chest, it is associated with love, compassion, and relationships.
  5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - Located in the throat, it is associated with communication, self-expression, and truth.
  6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - Located between the eyebrows, it is associated with intuition, wisdom, and perception.
  7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - Located at the top of the head, it is associated with spirituality, enlightenment, and connection to the divine.

In yoga and meditation practices, the goal is often to balance these chakras to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
