We have 7 diffrent chakras also known as Energy Centers the propert, they are our psychological properties. The lower part of the chakras are based on instinct and the top hald is more mentally based. Our chakras are merealy open, if they was fully open I would say we would have a few problems with ourselves. They are open, only a tiny bit, that's when balancing/tuning into your chakras helps out. Tuning your chakras is like tuning a radio into the right frequency. Each diffrent chakra has a diffrent purpose, though if you are looking on working with them I would suggest working from the first then working your way up to the crown, please just remember its a process.
