Chakras are psychic centers of activity, or of the vital force of prana, that cannot be defined in terms of psychology, physiology, or any other science. Chakras are interrelated with the parasympathetic, sympathetic, and autonomous nervous systems. In this chapter we discuss the aspects of the chakras.
