Flower Essences for the Chakras The Chakras belong to the basics in Indian medicine. They serve as energy centers in the human body. There are 7 Chakras in the body. You can see a Chakra as a kind of funnel, that collects energy from its surroundings. If such a funnel should be closed, a lack of energy is the result and this may cause negative effects on our body, soul and emotions. Every Chakra has its own definition and functions. Their knowledge can be very helpful in diagnosis and treatment. The lack of energy in a special Chakra creates related symptoms, so we can find which Chakra may be blocked just from observing the symptoms. If we however check the Chakras e.g. by muscle testing we can also foresee which symptoms may appear in the future unless we treat the Chakra.
