The Seven Chakras and Flower Essences

The “Flowering” Spiritual Centers of the Body
Your body is a temple; a magnificent architecture of energy patterns carrying energy centers known as Chakras. In Sanskrit, Chakras are defined as 'wheels of energy.' In eastern and western medicine these seven centers are associated with a certain part of the body and a certain organ which provides the energy it needs to function well.Additionally, just as every organ in the human body has its equivalent on the mental and spiritual level, so too every chakra corresponds to a specific aspect of human behavior and development. Healing the Chakras has been known as ‘embodiment principle,' a terminology describing the process of healing the intricate layering of human memory, consisting of layer upon layer of karmic imprints, cellular DNA, family origins, and an extraordinary energy system know as Chi, or, the Universal Field of Light, governs everyday life.This magnetic flow of vital-force feeds all aspects of body, mind, spirit.
The seven chakras are located along the central channel corresponding to the spine in the physical body. This energetic pathway is also known as the ‘Rainbow Bridge’, a living link between Heaven and Earth. The martial art known as Tai Chi means, rainbow energy, and assists one to harmonize the entire body and fill it with Living Light.
