The Illuminated Chakras Each and every one of us posses seven primary Chakras (some claim there are other subsidiary ones) and through the awakening of their Chakras an individual is said to awaken to the realisation of the eternal absolute reality. Each Chakra is said to exist within the subtle body, overlaying the physical body. Through modern physiology we can see that these seven Chakras correspond exactly to the seven main nerve ganglia which emanate from the spinal column. There is even some scientific evidence of their existence, however science has been very slow to take up the gauntlet.
