They can help to clear negative emotions and energy and restore balance. The balance restored could be of doshas – vata, pitta, and kapha. Chakras are our energy centers, which are the openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to vitalize the physical body, to bring about the development of our self- consciousness, and are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions. Vata, pitta, and kapha have direct interaction with the chakras on account of being physical in nature. There are 7 major chakras.
