The Chakras Explained

Not only are they centers of energy, they each represent a step forward in evolving consciousness

The chakras are fascinating and largely misunderstood. I had personally explained them incorrectly for several years. (Sorry to anyone I talked to about them from 2011–2015, I got it now.)

Chakra, meaning “wheel” in Sanskrit, represents a series of centers of energy (prana) in the body. While they are in the body, they’re not physical centers. They could be considered “astral”, or in what is often referred to as our “subtle body”. They are on another (non-gross-matter) plane of existence. I could see why “dimension” would be a term that bothers the more scientifically-minded, but I’m comfortable saying they exist on another dimension. It just means they exist but an x-ray isn’t going to pick them up. Our technology isn’t quite there yet… but someday it could be… scientists from the early Enlightenment era would have their minds explode looking into an electron microscope would they not? Two hundred years ago we did not have adequate equipment to detect radio waves, let alone the quantum fields at the subatomic level. Our capacity to understand phenomena is not fixed, it is constantly progressing towards a fuller truth.
