The Secret Energy Centres of India: Chakras, temples, and energy fields

The biggest myth about Indian spirituality is that it is mystical and vague. Instead, its scientific and way ahead of times. To begin with let’s discuss the energy fields that hold a significant place in Vedas and Indian scriptures. Post which we will study the significance of temples and the concept of Chakras.

1. Energy fields: 

The fundamental concept in Vedic philosophy is energy and it is surprisingly also the core concept in modern science. It is a proof that our Indian philosophers were way ahead of times and nurtured the scientific fervour. Vedas have many references related to Agni i.e. fire which holds energy in various forms. The four Vedas - Atharvaveda, Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Samaveda consist of many mantras about Agni. They describe its qualities, nature and functions. They also describe its vast presence in nature and the universe.  
In modern science energy is studied in different forms. May it be in the form of motion, heat, electricity, sound, etc. You will find references of all these in Agni Vidya in the Vedic texts. Infact, Agni is the source of creation and the energy that maintains the universe.  
Agni is the energy and source of transformation.  
We need to understand how this energy is an integral part of temples and how it is used in our temples when they were built to get a sense of positivity in devotees.

2. Temples: 

Temples are centres of divine power, spiritual transformation and source of immense energy. Temples are not merely meant for worship they are energy centres impacting our consciousness and well-being. May it be geometry, precise architectural wonders, quantum physics or electromagnetic fields our temples have everything within them. They are powerhouses of energy. Their designs are scientific and the vibrations generated in their premises boost mental peace, clarity, bring positivity and positively impact the brainwaves.  
Modern science says that some locations on Earth naturally emit strong electromagnetic frequencies that connect with the human body and mind. Many temples are built on such spots, which are geopathic energy centres. They are situated where the magnetic fields are strong. Being in these premises draw a positive impact on the brain. It results in the effect similar to meditation and sound therapy.  
Temples resonate with energy fields and are in sync with the principles of quantum mechanics. When you chant mantras in temples it connects with the Earth’s natural frequency thus, having positive mental and physical benefits.

Chakras: 

Chakra means wheel or circle and is a concept in Yoga. Chakras are the energy centers in your body. Chakras are vital for your spiritual journey, and understanding them can help you better connect with your mind, body, and spirit. 

How do Chakras function? 

They are energy channels in your body where life force moves. Chakras spin and are energy circles – they impact our physical and emotional health.  
There are 7 main chakras in our body. They run through our spine from the base to the crown of the head. Our chakras are blocked at times and when unblocked they result in harmony between mind, body and soul.

Muladhara- Root Chakra 

It is situated in the base of the spine and is the foundation of strength that stabilises our body and mind. When this chakra is opened it leads to confidence needed in our daily life to face challenges and impacts our self-esteem.
