Chakra is a
Sanskrit term meaning
wheel. There is a wide literature on chakra models, philosophy and
lore that underpin many
philosophical systems and
spiritual energy practices, religious observance and personal discipline. Theories on chakras fit within systems that link the human body and mind into a single unit, sometimes called the
bodymind. The philosophical theories and models of chakras as centers of energy were identified through the
mystical practice of
yoga in
Ancient India where they were first codified.
