The Chakras act as conductors, percolating the energy from heaven and earth.  These vortexes of moving energy stimulate various endocrine organs.  Hormones are secreted into the blood system.  This in turn affects our body and state of mind.  This filtration system purifies our energy from the physical plane into the spiritual stratum.  Our primal, animal instincts and basic human nature are refined into the highly clarified and cleansed area that connects us with the source of all life and creation.  Subtle energy and awareness ensues.

When we begin the journey through the chakras, we open the way for healing, psychological development and spiritual growth to occur.
