Shachuna's Thoughts about Chakras -Using Essential Oils and Other Tools for Spiritual Growth What is a chakra? The word chakra is a Sanscrit word for wheel, meaning "energy centers" or "circular power." The chakras hold the individualized energies, attributes and qualities of the Creator. They are referred to as the "mind centers" of the physical body. When these mind centers are balanced, they work together in harmony which results in self-mastery. When they are out of balance, they create discord, "dis-ease" and chaos which results in struggle and strife. But lately I am reading more how they are affecting our growth and our ascension process. Our chakra is our gateway to expression of the Creator's universe, it is our source of spiritual and energy it enables a constant flow of the Creator's light to support our existence in oneness with the Creator. Our chakras are continuously altering and evolving, even their purpose can change as the vibration of energy within and around us heightens.
