Chakras define metaphysical energy centers

Chakras are metaphysical entities — they exist beyond the physical and are not tangible in the way our physical bodies are. They are part of our subtle body, an energetic counterpart to our physical body. Each chakra is a vortex of energy, spinning in a circular motion, drawing in anything on its particular vibrational level.

Based on Buddhist and Hindu spiritual beliefs spanning three thousand years, each chakra corresponds to specific aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
