In traditional Hindu and yogic philosophy, chakras are believed to be centers of energy in the body, each associated with specific physical and emotional functions. While there are variations in the number and location of chakras depending on different interpretations, the most commonly recognized system identifies seven chakras along the spine, each with its associated organs and functions.
