Chakra healing is a holistic practice that focuses on balancing and aligning the body's energy centers, known as chakras. These chakras, rooted in ancient Indian traditions, are believed to govern physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The word "chakra" originates from Sanskrit, meaning "wheel" or "disk," and refers to the spinning vortexes of energy located along the spine. There are seven main chakras in the body, each associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life.
