It has been revealed in yoga shasthras that the chakras, or energy centres are related to the glands of the endocrine system. The chakras relate to different levels of consciousness, and the hormones secreted by glands and responsible for the cause for person\u2019s state of mind. Actually, the postures, or yoga asanas, immensely affect these glands directly by increasing circulation of blood, as well as massaging and improving their functions in order to maintain balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contemporary studies emphasized the connection between each of the primary chakras, the endocrine and nervous systems, as well as organs. On a physical level, chakras are linked with the major nerve plexuses and endocrine glands in the body. Endocrine system is a network of glands which secrete hormones directly into the blood stream instead of a duct to control activity in other parts of the human body. The names of the glands and the chakras are muladhara (adrenal glands), swadhasthana (gondas\/ovaries), manipura (spleen\/pancreas), anahata (thymus), vishudha (thyroid\/parathyroid), ajna (pituitary gland), sahasrara (pineal gland). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

he perfect condition of chakras is that they all be open and active, and neither underactive (closed) or overactive. If chakras are closed, person can perform meditation to open them again. He\/she can sit in meditation and focus on each chakra for 30-40 seconds, one at a time going up, then focus on each one going down, then again going up. This is one round. In this way person can make one more round. While doing this, person will just be in a flow through all chakras, moving the upward and downward current. When chakras are open and active, person should feel more balanced and calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If looking at the root or base of the spine, chakra may have masculine spin (clockwise), the next chakra up (The sacral) located near the belly button will spin (Counter clockwise). Therefore it moves the energy to the next chakra which in sequence moves clockwise to person\u2019s solar plexus creating the pattern like the serpent directly towards the top of head. When it reaches at the top it loops back down and creates the pattern of energy that moves along the spin so that each chakra can communicate to next one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
