In many yogic traditions, there are chakras.  These are basically energy centers where our thought & feelings, parts of our physical body, and pure energy all combine. 

These energetic centers serve as a wonderful basis to evaluate the body and use spiritual, alternative medicine, and/or yoga practices to heal our mental and physical conditions.

There are 7 chakras, each connected with certain aspects of our physical body & specific  emotions. From this information, we can  use certain techniques to work to heal imbalanced chakras!
