Show #14 April 16, 2014 Learn about the Chakras and Energy Channels of the Subtle Body
 |
Listen in on a Discussion of the Chakras and Energy Channels of the Subtle BodyIn Hindu and tantric/yogic traditions and other belief systems chakras are energy points or knots in the subtle body. They are located at the physical counterparts of the major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves. Chakras are part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels, called nadiis. Nadiis are channels in the subtle body through which the life force (prana), or vital energy moves.
