Know All About Third Eye Chakra

Chakras are our energy source. They are points in our body in which our hidden energies are stored. They are openings for life energy to flow into and out of our auras. They bring out our self-consciousness and nourish our soul. If they are opened then it’s like a food for our soul. They are like an energy tunnel, at the end of which is spiritual light.
