Mediate And Radiate

Our body has seven Chakras (See the 7 Chakras) which control all physical, emotional and spiritual functions. But these chakras lie dormant and need to be awakened or activated in order to get optimum results. Chakra meditation teaches its adherents how to activate these chakras to exploit one's full potential.
