An Overview of the 7 Chakras
The word Chakra derives from the Sanskrit word meaning “wheel of light”. There are 88,000 chakras within the human body, of which seven are considered to be the major chakras – the main energy centers in our bodies through which energy flows. If energy in one of the major 7 chakras is blocked, it can lead to illness. Therefore, it’s important to learn how we can help them keep energy flowing freely. The Shanti Kai™ Chakra Line provides an in-depth method for balancing, clearing, and developing the 7 chakras. In total, it draws from over 500 plant and mineral based ingredients helping you to integrate missing frequencies that you may need to heal and restore.
