The chakras are a concept in Hindu and Buddhist tradition that refers to energy centers in the body. There are seven main chakras, and each one is associated with a specific area of the body and certain qualities or functions. The word "chakra" is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "turning," and the chakras are thought to be spinning wheels of energy that help to regulate the body's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
