Significance :

The chakras are the body's internal power centres, and are associated vertically near the spine. Energy penetrates the body through the head (heaven) and the base (earth). The seven chakras are the vortex points where these forces intermingle, with each producing a distinctive energy mould. The principle of these chakras is to soak up, convert and dole out the body's internal energy, known by terms such as prana in vedic terms, life force or chi. Definite organs and body parts are connected with each chakra, as well as corresponding behavioural, emotional and personality outline. It is important to make a note of that, the chakras are in constant interchangeability mode, and cannot really be detached

Human beings are not just the physical body. You have seven auric bodies. These seven unseen bodies are known as energy bodies, energy layers or auras. These seven non physical bodies aren't separate from the physical body; they are all interconnected with each other. The wellbeing of any of these bodies contributes toward the overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a person. The seven auras are as under

1. The Etheric Layer

This is the layer closest to the physical body. This layer is connected to the base chakra.

2. The Emotional Layer

This layer sits directly outside the Etheric body, extending one to three inches. This layer is connected to the sacral chakra, and holds all our emotions, feelings and sensitivity such as joy, sorrow, love and hate.

3. The Mental Layer

This layer sits directly outside the emotional body and extends three to eight inches from the physical body. This layers is associated to the solar plexus chakra, and surround all our mental thought processes such as rules, regulations, judgment and discipline. Usually this layer is represented by the colour yellow.

4. The Astral Layer

This layer can broaden out to about one foot. It is the bridge between the lower vibrations of the physical plane, and the higher vibrations of the spiritual. Connected to the heart chakra, this layer is symbolized by a beautiful rainbow colour.

5. The Etheric Template

This layer extends out about two feet. It is connected to the throat chakra; this layer signifies the blueprint of the physical body and looks much like the negative of a photograph.

6. The Celestial/Causal Layer

This layer can expand for up to two and a half feet. It is connected to the 3rd eye chakra; this is where your spiritual connection begins and the progression of enlightenment.

7. The Spiritual Layer

This layer can broaden up to three feet and is connected to the crown chakra, and shielding all the other layers it vibrates at the highest frequency, and is often seen as a brilliant white or golden light.

These energy bodies are pretentious by all aspects of your lifestyle. The power that feeds them comes from outside and inside. Everything in your life influences these bodies. The health of these energy bodies heavily depends on the amount and quality of prana or chi flowing through them which is created in the Kundalini Line and Chakras. When any one of the auric bodies is not working appropriately, it affects the other bodies and the physical body, as each body relies on the others to congregate and allocate energy.
