Chakra means Wheel in Sanskrit.

Consciousness and energy move from one frequency to another in spiraling fashion. The body has energy centers that look like spinning wheels and are called Chakras.

They allow energy to flow from one part of the body to another. As with all things in our reality, they are linked to sound, light and color.

To heal, is to bring the chakras into alignment and balance then understand the nature of creation and your purpose in it.

It's all in motion in the alchemy of time.

Sahasrara

Crown Chakra

Thought, Universal identity, oriented to self-knowledge This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.

Ajna

Third Eye

Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture".
