How Many Chakras are there? 12 Chakras? 7 Chakras?

It is common mainstream knowledge that there are 7 energy chakras. We know them as: the root chakra [red] at the base of your torso; the sacral chakra [orange] around your pubic area; the solar plexus chakra [yellow] around your belly button; the heart chakra [green] around your heart; the throat chakra [blue] in the middle of your throat; the third-eye chakra [indigo] in the middle above your eyebrows; and the crown chakra [violet] at the top of your head.

However, if you do some research about the chakra system, you will find various other beliefs on the amount of chakras. I was watching a Quantum Touch DVD workshop last night, and Richard Gordon, the founder of Quantum Touch, went on talking about an eighth chakra about 8-10 inches below the feet. He also described the 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th chakras as being located above the head each 8-10 inches above the other.

So, I did some research online, and haven’t found any other information about that particular lineup of chakras. However, I have found many pieces of information pertaining to there being 12 chakras. Here is an 8 page PDF document describing the 12 chakra system which has a lot of great information.

I am going to continue to do some research on this to figure this out. If you are an expert on this topic, we’d love to hear your comments or have your write an article about this.

As a final thought. Here are some Affirmations for each of the original 7 chakras found via AmidAngels.com. Enjoy growing your energy field and exploring your natural power!
