Just as the body has the ductless glands which control
the fluids of the body, so the astral has the elements which
control the energy flows of the astral body. These regulators
are the Chakras.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word which means a wheel, because
the chakras are circular and spin like a wheel. Pouring in
and out
of the center of each wheel or chakra are streams
of radiating
energy which, to a psychic, look like the
spinning spokes of a wheel.
The chakras also resemble flowers. The flowing
energy gives
the appearance of petals. Some chakras have
just a few petals, others have thousands.
There are seven major chakras
and a number of minor
ones. It is the seven major chakras that we will deal with
here.
Below,
see what
one of the chakras
(the
crown chakra) actually looks
like.
