Chakras and Meridians on a Square Pillow

The entire universe is made of energy, and your body is no exception.

Long before modern technology and science, ancient cultures knew that all living things carried a life force with them. They called the centers of energy that move inside of us, the 7 chakras. So what are the seven chakras?
Chakra is an old Sanskrit word that literally translates to wheel.
This is because the life force, or prana, that moves inside of you is spinning and rotating. This spinning energy has 7 centers in your body, starting at the base of your spine and moving all the way up to the top of your head.
In a healthy, balanced person, the 7 chakras provide exactly the right amount of energy to every part of your body, mind and spirit.
However, if one of your chakras is too open and spinning too quickly, or if it is too closed and moving slowly, your health will suffer.
By learning about the 7 chakras, you can become more in tune with the natural energy cycles of your body.
You can use this information to connect physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances with the chakras that empower them. Of course, with those discoveries you can begin to balance your chakras and live a healthy and harmonious life.

Thymus Chakra (The Higher Heart or 8th Chakra)
An important subtle energy point that stimulates the development of unconditional love and compassion. The ancient spiritually attuned civilizations all had this energy point fully functioning and recognised its true purpose as the ‘Higher Heart’ centre or chakra point. A message to us of the importance of this centre in our unfolding spiritual development.
