In Hinduism and its spiritual systems of yoga and in some related eastern cultures, as well as in some segments of the New Age movement -- and to some degree the distinctly different New Thought movement - a chakra is thought to be an energy node in the human body. 


在印度和它的瑜珈灵性系统而一部分同东方文化有联系，也是新时代运动的某些章节—而某种程度上明显不同于新思想运动-一个脉轮就被认为是在人身体的一个结点。 


The word comes from the Sanskrit "cakra" meaning "wheel, circle", and sometimes also referring to the "wheel of life". The pronunciation of this word can be approximated in English by 'chuhkruh', with ch as in chart and both instances - the commonly found pronunciation 'shockrah' is incorrect. 


该词由梵语“cakra”而来，意思是“轮，圆”，而有时也指“生命之轮”。这词的发音近似为英语'chuhkruh'，在图表和实例中用ch-一般地发现'shockrah'的读音是不正确的。 


The seven main chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra is associated with a certain color, multiple specific functions, an aspect of consciousness, a classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics. 


将七个主要脉轮描述为从脊骨底到头顶排列一行的提升圆形物。每个脉轮与某种颜色、多重特定功能、意识形象、古典元素和其它有区别的特征联系在一起。 


The chakras are thought to vitalise the physical body and to be associated with interactions of both a physical and mental nature. They are considered loci of life energy, or prana, which is thought to flow among them along pathways called nadis. 


脉轮被认为激发了肉体和同肉体与精神两种本性的交互作用联系起来。认为它们是生命能量或prana，认为它们是沿称作nadis道路中的流转。 


In Mysticism, a Nadi (plural: Nadis) is an energy channel in which prana energy flows and may connect chakras. It is not accepted by mainstream science. The main nadis include Shushumna, Ida and Pingala. 


在神秘主义里，一个Nadi（复数是Nadis)就是能量通道，在通道中prana能量流动和可以连接脉轮。主流科学不接受这种观点。主要的nadis包含Shushumna, Ida and Pingala。 


Nadis are thought to carry a life force energy known as prana in Sanskrit, or qi in Chinese-based systems. They are also said to have an extrasensory function, playing a part in empathic and instinctive responses. Nadis are sometimes viewed as extending only to the skin of the body, but are often thought to extend to the boundary of the aura. 


认为Nadis 运送熟知的梵文prana生命力能量。据说它们具有超感官作用，参与情感置入和本能反应。有时认为Nadis只延伸到身体皮肤处，但经常认为延伸到光环的边界处。 


The Ida and Pingala nadis are often seen as referring to the two hemispheres of the brain. Pingala is the extroverted, solar nadi, and corresponds to the left hand side of the brain. Ida is the introverted, lunar nadi, and refers to the right hand side of the brain. 


经常看见Ida and Pingala nadis指脑的两个半球。Pingala是外向性的、太阳nadi，而对应脑的左手侧。Ida是内向的、月亮 nadi，而指脑的右手侧。 


The two nadis are stimulated through the practice of pranayama, which involves alternate breathing through left and right nostrils, which would alternately stimulate the left and right sides of the brain. The word nadi comes from the Sanskrit root nad meaning "channel", "stream", or "flow". 


通过pranayama行为刺激两个nadis，包括通过左右鼻孔交替呼吸，词nadi来源梵文词根nad，意思是“通道”、“溪流”或“流动”。 


Traditional Chinese medicine also relies on a similar model of the human body as an energy system. 


中药也依赖一类似的人体模型作为能量系统。 


The New Age movement has led to an increased interest in the West regarding chakras. Many in this movement point to a correspondence between the position and role of the Chakras, and those of the glands in the endocrine system. Some people in New Age also claim that other chakras, besides the above, exist - for instance, ear chakras. 


在西方有关脉轮里新时代运动导致兴趣增加。这运动的多数指向内分泌系统中腺体的那些脉轮的位置和角色的一个东西。新时代的某些人也提出其它的脉轮，除以上的外，例如存在的耳朵脉轮。 


The chakras are described in the tantric texts the Sat-Cakra-Nirupana, and the Padaka-Pancaka, in which they are described as emanations of consciousness from Brahman, an energy which comes down from the spiritual and gradually crudifies, creating these distinct levels of chakras, and which eventually finds its rest in the Muladhara chakra. 


Tantric文献描述脉轮为Sat-Cakra-Nirupana和the Padaka-Pancaka，在这里它们被描述为自婆罗门意识里散发的一种能量，来自下面灵魂和逐渐产生的能量，创造了这些独特脉轮层。而最终发现它的支持物在Muladhara 脉轮中。 


Muladhara is positioned close to anus, at the perineum, and it has four petals which match the of greatest joy, natural pleasure, delight in controlling passion, and blissfulness in concentration. 


Muladhara位置*近肛门，在会阴处，它拥有四个花瓣，与巨大的喜悦、因控制的激情高兴、集中的有福相匹配。 


In Samkhya philosophy, the concept of Muladhara is that of moola prakriti, the metaphysical basis of material existence. Muladhara is the chakra that draws down spritual energy and causes it to assume a physical existence. It is like the negative pole in an electrical circuit, which provides the potential for the evolution of form. 


在Samkhya哲学里，Muladhara的观念是moola prakriti，基于存在的纯粹哲学。Muladhara是引来灵魂能量的脉轮而促使它呈现肉体存在。它像电路的负极，提供了形态进化的电压。 


Within this chakra resides sleeps the kundalini shakti, the great spiritual potential, waiting to be aroused and brought back up to the source from which it originated, Brahman. 


在这脉轮里沉眠着昆达里尼shakti，伟大的灵魂潜能，等待被唤醒和向上带回到创造它的来源，婆罗门。 


Muladhara is the base from which the 3 main psychic channels, nadis, ida, pingala and sushumna, emerge.It is related to the physical processes of reproduction and excretion, and also to the various fear and guilt complexes associated with them. All a person's Samskaras ( potential karma ), are expressed here, in a physical form. 


Muladhara 是基础，从这基础中3个主要精神通道nadis, ida, pingala 和sushumna产生了。它涉及身体的复制和排泄的过程，也是与它们联系在一起的各种各样的恐惧和内疚的联合体。所有人的Samskaras（潜在的业力）在这里以肉体形态得到表达。 


This chakra is associated with the deities Indra, Brahma and Dakini, the element Earth and the color red. 


这脉轮与神性因陀罗、梵天和Dakini、地球元素和红颜色联系在一起。
