Chakras in Yoga Explained: Meaning, Mantras & Healing
"In traditional yogic science, the human being is not only physical but also vibrational. Thoughts, emotions, breath, and awareness all move through subtle pathways known as nadis, and where these pathways intersect, energy concentrates into spinning fields called chakras. The word "chakra" (Sanskrit: चक्र) means wheel. These wheels of consciousness regulate physical health, mental patterns, and spiritual perception. In Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, chakras respond directly to vibration, especially mantra and resonance."
"Chakras are psycho-energetic centers located along the Sushumna Nadi (central channel) running through the spine. They bridge: Body ↔ Mind ↔ Emotion ↔ Consciousness. Chakras are not physical organs but centers of awareness. They affect how we experience life, from basic instincts and emotions to intuition and higher understanding, influencing both mind and body. They do not work separately but as one connected system of consciousness."

Chakras are psycho-energetic centers along the Sushumna Nadi that bridge body, mind, emotion, and consciousness. They function as non-physical centers of awareness that influence physical health, mental patterns, emotional life, and spiritual perception. Chakras operate as a connected system rather than isolated organs, and each represents a stage of human evolution from survival to transcendence. In Nada Yoga, each chakra responds to specific vibrations expressed as bija mantras that harmonize energy. The Muladhara (root) chakra sits at the base of the spine, associates with earth, deep red color, and the bija mantra LAM, and governs grounding, stability, and fear patterns. Chanting LAM slowly in a deep tone helps resonate the pelvic floor.
