Chakras are the seven energy centers in the body, according to Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Each chakra represents a different aspect of human consciousness and physicality, including the root chakra for grounding, the sacral chakra for creativity, the solar plexus chakra for personal power, the heart chakra for love and compassion, the throat chakra for communication, the third eye chakra for intuition, and the crown chakra for spiritual connection. Balancing and opening these chakras can lead to greater physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
