According to Mr Ilchi Lee flowing within our bodies is the energy that drives and maintains our life functions. This energy flows not only within our bodies, but also through the very fabric of the universe. In the Orient, we call this energy “Ki,” “Chi,” or “Prana.” There are seven major points of intersection for the flow of this energy in our bodies. These points are called Chakras, or in the Korean tradition, Dahn-jons.
Chakra, a Sanskrit word, means a wheel or a circle. This is because energy tends to swirl in a circular motion as it gathers in the Chakras. In the ancient Asian mind-body-spirit discipline of Shin Sun Do (Way of the Divine), Chakras are called Dahn-jons. Literally translated, Dahn-jon means “field where energy gathers.”
Knowledge of the Chakras has long been important in the Vedas and Yoga of India, as well as other Asian traditions. Due to the importance of this knowledge to spiritual traditions of the East, and to the exclusivity of transmission of this information, the Chakras may have been a bit over mythologized. They have been relegated to the realm of the fantastic and have become inaccessible to the average person.
