The Chakras - Fragrant Heavens

In the etheric body there are centres of energy, sometimes described as wheels or vortexes.

There are seven main chakras and twenty-one minors.

Healers often bring one of the minor - the spleen - chakras into the main group of seven because the spleen is so directly involved in the immune system and in healing the physical body. The main chakras are said to be related to the physical body in the following way:

• Crown Centre: pineal gland (or some believe pituitary)
• 
  Brow Centre: pituitary gland (or some believe pineal), eyes and brain.
• 
  Throat Centre: speech and hearing, nervous system, thyroid gland, lungs and bronchial tubes, digestive tract.
• 
  Heart Centre: heart and lungs
• 
  Solar Plexus: stomach, digestive system
• 
  Sacral Centre: genital system
• 
  Base Centre: Kidneys, excretion, adrenal glands.
