The Centres of Force – Chakras
Each person is a microcosm containing seven fundamental centres. These complex systems receive and emit the seven essential types of vibration that exist in the entire world, which is the Macrocosm. They are known as ”chakras” or energy centres. The chakras have the role of instantly aligning the person with a particular resonance or vibration. When man is aware and in control of the infinite energies manifested in the Universe, it is through these chakras.
