Your somatic body is your physical being and chakra system.  Your body is also intuitive. It speaks to you. You feel a lot of feelings in your body but you may not be aware of it. The Chakra system is an Ancient Sanskrit tradition that addresses the flow of energy in the body. Each of the seven chakras speak to where emotions can lodge in your body energetically. As you understand the seven chakras, you will understand the wonderful hidden messages that your body is communicating to you.

Your chakras are displayed in the diagram and each part corresponds to critical components of our lives that we may often overlook.

This is not an indepth study of the Chakras. However, regardless of your spiritual background, it is important to study the body and how it holds energy. Prolonged stress, fear and negative thinking have a negative impact on the corresponding chakra. Allowing negative emotions to flow through the body and discharge is important to your emotional  health.
