chakra system

Body's spiritual nodes

The chakra system is a model from Hindu and Buddhist traditions describing energy centers aligned along the spine, from base to crown.

Each of the seven main chakras governs specific physical, emotional, and spiritual functions.

The concept appears frequently in yoga, meditation, and alternative healing practices: She works on balancing her chakra system through breathwork.

Western wellness culture has widely adopted the framework, sometimes loosely.
