Along with having muscles and bones we also have an invisible grid of energy that surrounds our body. This energy grid has significant points or centers, and these are known as Chakras.
There are numerous Chakras all through the body, but the main Chakras are located along the spine and give the most life force energy and support to the rest of the energy grid. These 7 Chakras are often visualized as spinning wheels or disks that glow with a particular color.
