Sushumna Nadi Agni (fire) - Central Channel located in the spine and runs from Mulandhara chakra to Sahasrara chakra -connects all the chakras. It is the power that guides us consciously or unconsciously to higher awareness - the path toward enlightenment.
- 35. The chakras arethe subtle energy centers of the body. Like pinwheels, the chakras spin at the speed of light, emanating the colors of the spectrum, each resonating with a particular frequency. These colors combine to form the auras that surround each of us, connecting us with each other and with the cosmos. There are crucial points of energy that we use, whether consciously or unconsciously, to affect reality and allow us to fully experience and realize events that unfold before us. These focal points are called Chakras.
- 36. There areseven Chakras in the human body, which are located along the spinal cord of a human being and they have unique attributes and characteristics. Mooldhara, Swadhistana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara.
