The chakras relate to the seven points on the spine where nerve ganglia branch out. These points are awakened with the correct use of yogic postures and meditative practices. Learn about the varying strength of your chakras and the ways to keep them in balance with corrective techniques including finger positioning during meditation. These are an important route to a balanced health and mental state. Recurrent feelings or physical pain manifestations can be corrected with a deeper understanding of the self.

Awakening of chakras has to be done in a systematic manner so that the base related to the physical and emotional self are strengthened before graduating to higher chakras. Your personality and feelings and reactions are pointers to those physical and psychological aspects that need to be maintained, strengthened or balanced.
