They function as places of energy exchange. In fact we have hundreds of chakra points spread throughout our subtle energy system. However the most well-known are the seven main chakras which are connected in the central energy channel of our body which runs along our spine. When the chakras function properly these centres are gateways for vital life energy that enters our body through channels (nadis) and meridians through our subtle body. At the same time they are also vanishing points for low-frequency energy to flow back to the subtle bodies that are being transformed. Each of the seven major chakras represents a level of consciousness or developmental stage of life viewed from the perspective of our physical existence. Chakras may function less when they are in a negative state for a long time due to negative habits and accumulated emotions. This makes it difficult for the personality to fully integrate the level of consciousness that each chakra represents. When the chakras are open and in balance they form an integrated system in which each chakra is dependent on the others for optimal function. lighting a candlein many traditions in our world lighting a candle implies a sacred act which means more than words can say; it is all about gratefulness.
