The practice of meditation brings to bear on the seven major chakras (which correspond to the body’s major endocrine glands) the power of the environment and the universe.
If you practice meditation for at least 30 minutes a day your body’s functions will become more balanced and harmonious.
The energy flows from the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras while meditating your entire body’s biological, emotional and spiritual aspects will be equally nourished and balanced, while this is happening the physical, emotional, and spiritual toxins are cleansed from the body.
