What are chakras & how do you unblock them?

 Chakras are focused on energy centers of the human body. The Sanskrit term means “wheel” or “disk”. So in short, chakras are revolving wheels of energy & light throughout the body. When blocked they can cause a lot of physical & emotional issues, such as; headaches, back pain, neck pain, depression & a lot more problems. Yoga & meditation are great ways to help unblock and align your chakras.
