Chakra是什么意思
"Chakra" is a Sanskrit word that means "wheel" or "disk." In yoga and Hinduism, chakras are believed to be energy points or centers in the body through which the life force (prana) flows. There are seven main chakras in the human body, each located along the spine from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. These chakras are believed to influence different aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The seven main chakras are:
- Root Chakra (Muladhara) - located at the base of the spine, it is associated with survival, security, and basic needs.
- Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) - located in the pelvic area, it is associated with creativity, emotions, and sexuality.
- Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) - located in the abdomen, it is associated with personal power, confidence, and self-esteem.
- Heart Chakra (Anahata) - located in the center of the chest, it is associated with love, compassion, and relationships.
- Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - located in the throat, it is associated with communication, self-expression, and truth.
- Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - located in the center of the forehead, it is associated with intuition, wisdom, and perception.
- Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - located at the top of the head, it is associated with spirituality, enlightenment, and connection to the divine.
In yoga and meditation practices, the goal is often to balance and align these chakras to promote overall health and well-being.
