History and the importance of chakras in yoga

Between 1500 and 500 BC, the chakra system originated in the world’s oldest text, the Vedas and the chakra’s knowledge has been passed down orally.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that indicates a wheel of energy. There are 7 chakras in the body which symbolize the flow of प्राण or energy in your body and regulate emotions. According to meditation practises, if the chakras ever become out of sync, they can have a negative impact on your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
