We are each an energy system.
Energy flows through our being, and is directed by our consciousness.
When we are healthy, or in balance, the energy flows smoothly. The flow of energy is regulated by seven energy centers, called chakras. The immune system is governed or controlled by the thymus gland, which in turn is regulated by the heart chakra. The heart chakra is that part of our energy system affecting and affected by our perceptions of love. The disease began among those members of our society whose life-styles separated them from those they love.
