How to Focus Your Chakras

The chakra refers to a point in the body where bodily functions and psychic or spiritual energy combine. These are commonly used in Buddhist and Hindu practices. Focusing your chakras requires practice, meditation and the ability to concentrate on guiding energy throughout your body. There are many chakra points throughout the body, but the main 11 chakras are found along the spine.
