That is quite alright I have actually just recently figured it out with a little bit of research. When I organize the information and figure out how to explain it properly I'll post what I have found so that others may learn.

I'm sorry but this is inaccurate. Sorry. There is no element accompanying the chakra's (And if there is something accompanying it it's not elements) and they regulate the energies. I'll delete this post if you wish.

Ah, I see, thanks for that. No need to delete it. I'll just edit it. ^_^ Thank you much for pointing that out to me. I would hate to be left in the dark. Also, I certainly don't want to spread false information.
