The Chakra System originated in India more than 4000 years ago. The Chakras were mentioned in the ancient literature

of the Vedas, Upanishads, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and in 1526 C.E, Indian yogi Purnananda Swamy has written a book

called Sat-Chakra-Nirupanam, which gives us a clear explanation about the Chakras.

Chakras are not the physical entities, like how feelings, thoughts, emotions cannot be held physically like a object, but still

have effects on our body as they are the representation of Spiritual energy on a Physical plane.

In this course the unique and specialized techniques for balancing the Chakras are covered. This Chakra Concept was found

in the early traditions of various ancient Meditation practices collectively known as TANTRA.

Kundalini yoga also gives us many techniques of breath, exercises, visualizations, mudras, bandhas, kriyas and mantras to

balance the flow of subtle energy through the Chakras.
