In this Mayan system, there are 7 chakras in the body, plus the 2 sky chakras - 8th within our luminous body above our heads, and 9th in the great beyond.

Our chakras work best for us when they are open and spinning in a clockwise direction, the same direction as the spiral arms of the galaxies. Blockages in chakras or closed chakras can prevent us from being able to physically manifest our dreams and desires, heal and become whole, no matter how much physical effort we put in.
