There are 7 marks, so I need 7 points and I have managed 6. I was a little confused as the info in the course material didn't always seem to describe actual functions, so is what I have come up with so far:
1. The chakras are involved in transforming energy from the Universal Energy Field (which vibrates at a high frequency) to a lower frequency, which can be utilised by the human body.
2. This energy is then translated by the chakras into a glandular hormonal output which affects the entire body.
3. The seven major chakras are all connected, allowing the energy from one chakra to flow to another. An energy blockage in one chakra can therefore affect the other chakras, and energy imbalances in the human system tend to cause illness.
4. There is a hormonal connection between the seven major chakras and an endocrine system. The endocrine gland also has corresponding organs, for example: the heart chakra is associated with the pineal and the corresponding organs are the heart, and the circulatory system.
5. Energy can be taken further into the body via subtle energetic channels called 'nadis'.
These channels are connected to the nervous system and affect the quality of nerve transmissions within the physical body.
6. The chakras are also associated with psychological functions- and can be divided into mental centrtes, will centres and feeling centres. For psychological health all three should be in balance and open to enable the energy to flow through freely.
Any help finding a final point or any other suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!

RE: What are the functions of the chakra system?
Hi there Azalia Just a guess - but what about interaction / removal/ elimination relationships - with cleansing physical self, spirit & even outwarding our interation/relationship with others. I shall go have alook at some books - i think this may not be physiological enough .

3 The seven major chakras are all connected, allowing the energy from one chakra to flow to another.
4 If one chakra has imbalance it can affect the other chakras, and energy imbalances in the human system tend to cause illness. I
if you wrote 3 as 3 & 4as above you would have your 7 . this might be too simple i only suggest it because you currently no 3 is making 2 points
Point one being that the chakras are all connected and point 2 being that if there is blockage it affects healt
just a thought
RE: What are the functions of the chakra system?
I guess it depends how you read the question. I would interpret it as: There are 7 chakras what are each of their functions
Chakra 1: Earth, Function = survival and grounding
Chakra 2: Water, Function = desire, pleasure, sexuality and procreation
Chakra 3: Fire, Function = will, power, assertiveness
Chakra 4: Love, Function = love
Chakra 5: Sound, Function = communication, creativity
Chakra 6: Light, Function = seeing, intuition
Chakra 7: Thought, Funciton = understanding
Maybe this is too obvious, but hope it helps.
RE: What are the functions of the chakra system?
Thank you for all those points, I will have another look through the course material and see if I can make anything fit.
I sometimes find it quite difficult to know how much detail to go into when the questions are a bit vague or inexplicit.
Thanks again:D:D
