Abstract

The concept of Chakras, represented as flowers or wheels, holds significant importance in various spiritual traditions, particularly in the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad, an ancient traditional Indian treatise. This text provides deep insights on seven distinct Chakras, each associated with specific regions of the body and unique attributes. This review provides an overview of these Chakras and their significance, offering valuable insights into the intricate spiritual philosophy of the human body. Tantra Yoga is an esoteric branch of Yoga that has been practiced and passed down for millenniums in India. There are several techniques for igniting the Chakras and the Kundalini among them. The practitioner is said to be able to transcend the limitations of a normal human being through this awakening and to evolve into a free and immortal being who is fully conscious of the world and of an existence in which there is no death. Numerous great saints who acquired this highest level of spiritual enlightenment using Tantric Yoga techniques or their equivalents have arisen throughout Indian history Shakyamuni Buddha for instance. According to the practitioners, Sushumna, Ida and Pingala Nadis are three major energy channels that pass through the base of the spinal column, the top of the skull and major branches of the human nervous system along the spine. A Chakra is seen as a center or nexus of the body's biophysical energy, also known as Prana. According to, "Prana is the fundamental element of the patient’s subtle body, the patient energy field, and the entire Chakra system...the key to life and the source of energy in the cosmos."
