00:00The twelve chakras system and how to activate each energy center.
00:04The chakra system is an intriguing yet scientifically unproven concept,
00:09which continues to draw the interest of modern-day yoga,
00:12Reiki, and New Age practitioners.
00:16The chakras are energy centers, which are part of the subtle body,
00:19one that cannot be seen.
00:21However, they are illustrated as colorful symbols
00:24that you can find on the walls of most yoga studios and spiritual stores.
00:30How many chakras are there?
00:32The most familiar understanding is that there are seven main chakras,
00:35which run from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
00:39These are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakra.
00:45But many ancient yogis believe many more energy centers exist besides the above seven.
00:51For example, Dr. Sri Amit Ray believes there are 114 chakras in the human physic body
00:58and 72,000 nadis.
01:00He then splits the chakras into seven major chakras, 21 minor chakras, and 86 microchakras.
01:08One of the newest beliefs among New Age practitioners
01:11is the existence of the twelve chakra system.
01:14This includes the seven major chakras and an additional five outer chakras.
01:19These new chakras exist outside the body
01:22and represent our interconnectedness with higher spiritual realms.
01:26Another interpretation of the twelve chakra system actually features 13 chakras,
01:32but the Earth star chakra is named chakra zero and comes before the root chakra.
