Your 7 Energy Centers Understanding how energy works in your body can help you decipher your individual body’s unique language. The chakras are the energy centers in the physical body where your beliefs and emotions are transformed into your state of health. As you study each of your chakras, you’ll discover how your family legacy together with your current thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can directly affect the health of your tissues and organs. Whether you believe in chakras as literal places in the body or as metaphoric ones, they can help you activate mind/body connections to help you heal.
