What is it?
The word 'chakra' is derived from the sanskrit word meaning 'wheel' translated from Hindi it means 'Wheel of spinning Energy'. A chakra is like a whirling, vortex-like, powerhouse of energy BUT they must be re-charged through cosmic energy (external energy or life energy that animates all life and is believed to keep everything in balance). The Chakras run vertical, from the top of your head (where your spin starts) to the base of your spine.
