Aligning the Chakras

There are 7 chakras totally namely Moolaadhara, Swathistana, Manipuraha, Anahata, Visudhi, Aagnaa and Sahasrara. It is believed that the energy flowing or three follow of Kundalini happens when a person is keeping the backbone erect. The kondalini travels from Moolaadhara to Sahasrara without any hinderences. It takes some time for a person to reach the state of meditation after sitting in the posture of meditation. It is usually the time taken for the body to calm down and align with the Chakras and energy flowing in the body. With regular practice of meditation this can be made easier.
