Chakras, in some Hinduist traditions and other belief systems, are centers of Prāṇa, life force, or vital energy. Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body i.e. major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves. Texts and teachings present different numbers of chakras.

Their name derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning".

The concept of chakra features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism.
