What are primary Chakras?

Chakras are points in the body that corresponds to a specific area where multiple nerves crisscross. It is believed that through meditating on these specific chakras you can learn to control the energy in your body and experience everything from spontaneous healing to enlightenment. The level of experience and commitment will determine the success (just like anything else in life!) and the amount of energy one can develop through meditating on the chakras. The real key is in using proper meditating techniques and concentrating on the 7 primary chakras in order to keep a constant, healthy flow of energy. First 5 Chakras can be associated with 5 elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
