Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like [[vortices]] which, according to traditional Indian medicine, are believed to exist in the surface of the etheric double of man.[2] The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of [[energy]] permeating, from a point on the [[physical]] [[body]], the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a love heart). Rotating vortices of subtle [[matter]], they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies.[3] Seven major chakras or energy centers (also understood as wheels of light) are generally believed to exist, located within the subtle body. | Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like [[vortices]] which, according to traditional Indian medicine, are believed to exist in the surface of the etheric double of man.[2] The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of [[energy]] permeating, from a point on the [[physical]] [[body]], the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a love heart).
