Firstly there are more than seven.

They correspond with nerve plexus within us, which is perfect design.

An easy example of this is the Pechoti Gland that os located at the corresponding Chakra centre of the Navel.

After the umbilical cord is cut, the Pechoti gland remains with over 70 million nerves that are running over this gland to tissues and organs throughout the body.

During pregnancy the umbilical cord carries nutrients from the Mother to her baby through a connection made with the Pechoti gland.

Our psyche also uses these glandular nerve plexus to harmonise itself.

They are portals, actually TRANSFORMERS of mind and emotional energy.

This is why for example the base and sacral chakras are often congested or blocked to some extent, as fear via the base, and relationships, money, parents/children, sex, shame and guilt via the sacral are processed thru these transformation centres.

In treating, again understanding the person, their stories and how they hold to them is crucial.

It’s not much chop if you're trying to harmonise the wrong chakra in relation to the core issues, and creating the right environment for the client to be still enough to connect with themselves is important.
