Chakras

The basic principle of the 7 chakras (which is the Sanskrit word for "wheel", or "turning") is that these points can receive & transmit energy.  For example, when you feel like your heart is broken, it seems like all of your energy from other places is draining, just so you can function through the day.  It's not just in your mind.  These points are great forces of power, hopefully you can learn to control and utilize them well!  This is just my quick notes on chakras, if you'd like to delve deeper into it, by all means, go for it!

Crown: Pure consciousness, connected to the central nervous system.

Brow/Third Eye:  Ever heard the term, "Third Eye never lies"??  I say it alot myself, because mine has always been open, as far back as I can remember, and I can smell lies a mile away.  Connected to the pineal gland, which is incredibly important if you're a truth seeker like myself.  More about your pineal gland in another post!

Throat:  Relates to communication & growth through expression.  Parallel to thyroid

Heart:  Doesn't need much explanation, but in Tibetan Buddhism it is said that this chakra is responsible for carrying your soul into your next life.  Emotionally it governs unconditional love, mentally it governs passion, and spiritually it governs devotion.

Solar Plexus: Related to digestion.

Sacral: Obviously it deals with one's sexual urges, relationships, reproduction & perversions.  This is also sometimes known as the "secret wheel".

Root: Equates to basic human potential/survival.  Located in the perineum, which is in-between the anus & genitals.  Also related to the genetic code/dna & the kundalini.
