Chakras
In ancient India, local mystics knew that there was more to us than just flesh and bone. They could feel an energy inside of themselves and realized that this was something bigger than mere man. The defined this as our life-force or Prana. This life-force also connected us to the Earth and everything on/in it. They identified seven major wheels of energy that continuously moved within us keeping us connected to Prana. In Sanskrit, the word wheel translates into Chakra.
