Most people are familiar with the seven main chakras—energy centers aligned along the spine, each governing different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. However, ancient spiritual traditions, mystics, and modern energy workers recognize additional extended chakras beyond these primary seven. These lesser-known energy centers expand our connection to higher realms, deepen our awareness of the body, and unlock greater levels of healing and transformation.
This article explores some of these extended chakras, their purpose, their discovery, and how they influence daily life. We’ll also provide somatic and energetic exercises to activate and harmonize these powerful energy points.
The Extended Chakra System: How Many Chakras Are There?
While the traditional seven-chakra system originates from ancient Indian spiritual traditions, many other cultures—including Taoist, Kabbalistic, and Egyptian mysticism—reference additional energy centers. Various esoteric traditions suggest there may be 12, 13, 22, or even 144 chakras in our multidimensional being.
For this exploration, we’ll focus on the five additional chakras that extend our energy field beyond the seven primary chakras, forming a 12-chakra system. This expanded system connects us to cosmic consciousness, the Earth’s energetic grids, and deeper aspects of the self.
