HEALING WITH CHAKRAS

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Our Physical body is surrounded by an invisible bio-energy field or aura. It has been proved that most diseases can be detected in the energy body before they become manifest in the physical body.

The Chakras are high-energy centers in the energy body. There are seven major Chakras, which correspond to & energize the vital organs, endocrine system, glands & major body parts like the brain, heart, stomach, spine, eyes etc. The malfunctioning of the Chakra results in disease of its corresponding body part or organ. By cleansing & reactivating the relevant Chakra, we can stimulate the functioning of the corresponding ailing body part or organ.
