The human body has energy centers called chakras. By keeping our bodies and our minds healthy, our chakras are kept balanced and energized. Maintaining a healthy mind is best done by learning to love ourselves and others and avoiding judgement. When we are kind to ourselves and try to think and act positively, our bodies and minds are vitalized. A healthy body is achieved through eating right (lots of fruits and vegetables and other natural foods), getting enough sleep, and engaging in physical activity. Certain asana, or yoga postures, can be used to activate and direct energy to open our chakras. Certain negative emotions or feelings can be related back to an imbalance in a specific chakra or several chakras. These poses can help to clear our bodies and allow our natural energy to take over.
