The concept of Shat Chakra, or the six chakras, is central to the yogic and tantric traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. These subtle energy centers, located along the spine, play a pivotal role in spiritual, psychological, and physical well-being. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Shat Chakra, exploring their historical origins, anatomical correlations, and the implications for health and consciousness.
