Q: So, the chakras are like energy flows in the body?
A: Yes, in the sense that they are spinning energy centers. It’s a vortex of energy at various places within the body (as I’ve described, under ‘chakras’) along the pathway up the spine. Each vortex (hopefully spinning nicely) corresponds with the glands and organs at that point (7 major, as described). Let me explain how the chakras spin. This will answer your question about energy flows. There are 3 main energy currents/flows in the etheric body. Actually, there are thousands of them and energy meridians throughout the body, but for purposes of this question, let’s just focus on the 3 main. Along the left side of the spine, you have the Ida (nadi-energy channel). It is feminine in nature and runs up the spine. Along the right side of the spine is the Pingala (nadi) and is masculine in nature and runs down the right side. Up the middle of the spine, the central channel, is the Sushumna, and this is where the kundalini rises. As the energy naturally moves up the spine from root to crown (will flow freely if one is at ease and grounded and can thus be free to soar and become lighter as in meditation or astral travel/clairvoyance etc….) this is called the energy channel of liberation. When the energy is free to move down from crown to root (one can manifest ideas and visions and create their desired reality), this is called the energy channel of manifestation. As the channels simultaneously start moving, one up, and the other down, at the point in which they cross, a vortex of energy is formed- the chakra. The channels create these vortices along the length of the spine. That explains the spinning movement of the chakras. So, if you are clear, and not weighted down, blocked or dense (no pun intended), these channels will be moving freely within the body, chakras spinning, and you, of course can experience vibrant health!
