Chakras can be described as energy transformation centres in a state of constant rotational motion.
The ancient Indian culture regarded these energy transformation centres as the body’s energy exchange sites with its surroundings.
Chakras disturbances and blockages can be tested and treated. For example, all 7 Chakras can be tested for possible “emptiness”. The emptiness in one Chakra can be treated and the Chakra can be “filled up”. Of course, this is good for the disturbances and blockages caused by the impaired Chakra. But there must be a reason WHY a Chakra is empty. If we don’t find this reason it won’t be long before the Chakra is weak again and it will have to be treated once more.
