A chakra is a vortex of constantly moving energy. In Sanskrit, the classical language of India, chakra literally means "wheel." There are seven primary chakras, and they are often visualized as spinning wheels of light forming a ladder from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
Their spiraling energy corresponds with glands in the endocrine system as well as organs in the body. The chakras harness energy from the earth and heavens, conducting life force energy throughout the body.
Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects are associated with each of the seven main chakras. Each corresponds directly with the colors of the rainbow as well. Think of your body as a prism!
Practicing yoga, meditating, chanting, and participating in various forms of color therapy are some of the activities that may aid in unblocking and balancing the chakras.

The carefully formulated recipes of each ChakWave Chakra Tonic are comprised of fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and teas corresponding to one of the seven primary chakra energy points.
Food therapy can be an excellent way to strengthen the flow of energy, and ChakWave is designed to stimulate the individual chakras. Whatever the challenge, celebration, or activity, ChakWave is the perfect taste bud titillating tonic!
