Research topic

Chakras

The history of chakra systems in Indian traditions and how the modern seven-chakra picture came about.

What the evidence is

Chakras are a traditional and spiritual model. They do not correspond to anatomical structures, and we know of no controlled studies that measure chakras directly. Research that mentions chakras usually studies a practice (such as meditation or a healing session) and the experiences people report.
