How to Use Chakras in Tibetan Medicine

In Tibetan medicine, chakras are wheels of spinning energy (often represented as fire in Tibetan art) that are said to connect our bodily energy fields and link us to the cosmic energy field. Tibetan medical practitioners believe that chakras are the base of our body's electrical fields, which are linked to our body and soul. Chakras are in constant flux, and Tibetan doctors believe that they manage the endocrine system and aging. Tibetan exercises are said to be used to balance your personal chakras.
