Why the 7 seals have nothing to do with 7 chakras: Separating biblical truth from spiritual trends

The 7 seals in the Bible and the 7 chakras are two different things. 

The scroll with 7 seals which is written in Revelation 5 is a series of catastrophic events that only Yeshua is worthy to open. The opening of the 7 seals marks the beginning of the end times prophecy. It signals that the world is approaching its final days, leading to the second coming of Jesus Christ and the final judgment.

While the chakras, or chakra system, is a teaching that originates in the oldest Hindu texts called the Vedas, which date back to around 1500 to 500 BC. Experts say that the word “chakra” comes from Sanskrit which means “wheel” or “cycle”. The traditional explanation of this is that chakras are described as “wheels” within the subtle body, which are thought to spin in circular motion, channeling energy throughout the body.

According to ancient spiritual and yogic traditions, all human beings have chakras. There are seven chakras and each chakra corresponds to specific areas in the body. Six of them are found along the spine and the seventh is located at the crown of the head. 

These chakras depend on prana to spin and function effectively. What is prana? Prana is a Sanskrit term which translates to “life force.” It is an unseen energy that sustains all living beings and is considered as the foundation of existence.

Prana enters the body through breath and then flows through the chakra system via nadis, or subtle channels, to provide the chakra the energy it needs to spin. When these “wheels” spin, it channels the energy throughout the body, governing and affecting different aspects of a person’s well-being.

Given that prana sustains the chakras within the subtle body; however, the condition of chakras also affects the entrance and flow of prana throughout the energy system. When chakras are open and balanced, life energy can flow through them and the areas in your body will function harmoniously. Not only that, balanced chakras can help you connect to the universe and experience a deeper sense of purpose and spiritual growth. However, if chakras are blocked, it will delay the flow of prana in the energy system which leads to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances. Furthermore, it was said that diet plans, meditations, affirmations, yogas and healing crystals can help activate the chakras or restore chakras into balance.

In conclusion, the 7 seals in the Bible have nothing to do with the 7 chakras. The 7 seals is a teaching in Christianity while the 7 chakras comes from Hinduism.
