In Hinduism, the concept of chakras is part of a complex of ideas related to esoteric anatomy. These ideas occur most often in the class of texts that are called Āgamas or Tantras. This is a large body of scripture, most of which is rejected by orthodox Brahmins.

There are many variations on these concepts in the Sanskrit source texts. In earlier texts there are various systems of chakras and nadis, with varying connections between them. Various traditional sources list 5, 6, 7, or 8 chakras. Over time, one system of 6 or 7 chakras along the body's axis became the dominant model, adopted by most schools of yoga. This particular system may have originated in about the 11th century AD, and rapidly became widely popular. It is in this model where Kundalini is said to "rise" upward, piercing the various centers until reaching the crown of the head, resulting in union with the Divine.

This is the conventional arrangement cited by Monier-Williams, where the chakras are defined as "6 in number, one above the other".

There are seven chakras and usually a yoga practice and meditation is how you begin to balance the chakras. There is one at the root, one at the lower abdomen, one at the solar plexus, one at the heart center, one at the throat, one at the third eye (middle of the forehead) and one at the crown. They are resting along the central channel (the sushumna nadi). Each is assigned a different color and a different significance for how the spirit/body/mind operate. You can google chakras and learn quite a bit about them.

Answer 5

Chakras are energy centers throughout the body. Depending on the source, the number varies. Most claim seven major chakras with several minor ones.
