The Life force energy, Aura and Chakras
We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body through path ways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When the flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.
