What is Chakra

Saw in this website a super detailed explanation of What is Chakra, I find it very easy to understand hence copied whole thing from it, please note it is not done by me....

What is Chakra?

1. Chakra is a 20 point talent in the holy tree that allows a priest to enter a state where certain abilities are enhanced, depending on which Chakra state the priest chooses to enter.
   
2. Chakra is put into effect by casting the spell and then one of four other spells immediately after it, putting you in that particular state.
   


• Heal


• Renew


• Prayer of Healing


• Smite
  
3. 
   Chakra can be extended by putting talent points into State of Mind and by casting spells unique to the state you’re in (i.e. casting Renew while in Chakra: Renew).
   
4. Placing a talent point in Revelations will allow Chakra to change the effects of Holy Word: Chastise, to compliment whatever state you are in.
   
   
   
   • Chakra: Heal/ Holy Word: Serenity
   
   
   • Chakra: Renew/ Holy Word: Aspire
   
   
   • Chakra: Prayer of Healing/ Holy Word: Sanctuary
   
   
   • Chakra: Smite is the only state that does not improve Holy Word: Chastise.
   
   



5. Chakra does not limit or restrict what spells you can cast while in a state. For example, you could still use Shadow Word: Death if you were in Chakra: Prayer of Healing or Greater Heal if you were in Chakra: Renew. It only takes spells you already have and makes them more effective or slightly changes their effects.
   



6. Chakra does have a 60 second cooldown – so if you go into the wrong state by mistake or you need to change into another one (due to the needs of your situation), you would need to wait for that cooldown to be up again before you could change your Chakra.
   



7. Chakra has been shown to not use a global cooldown, so you can make a macro for each state you would want to enter and make it more efficient to use that way.
   

Chakra: Heal

1. Increases your chance to crit with Heal by 10%


2. Casting Heal will refresh a Renew already present on your target.


3. Holy Word: Serenity
   
   
   
   • Instantly heals your target for 4654 to 5462 and increases the crit chance of your heals on them by 25% for 6 seconds. Has a 20 second cooldown.
     
   • The direct heal from Holy Word: Serenity is capable of a critical heal.
   
   
   
   


4. Ideal for situations where you are tank healing or focused on a single target.
   
   
   
   • Deathbringer Saurfang
   
   
   • Valithria Dreamwalker
   
   
   • The Frostmourne room during the Lich King encounter
   
   

Chakra: Renew

1. Increases the healing done by your Renew by 10%


2. Reduces the global cooldown of your Renew by .5 seconds


3. Holy Word: Aspire
   
   
   
   • Instantly heals your target for 1991 and then another 3762 over 18 seconds. Has a 15 second cooldown.
   
   
   • The instant heal and HoT portion of Holy Word: Aspire are capable of critical heals.
   
   
   
   


4. Ideal for trash pulls or situations with steady raid damage or harmful auras.
   
   
   
   • Blood Queen Lana’thel
   
   
   • Sindragosa
   
   
   • Sapphiron
   
   
   
   


5. Helpful on high mobility fights or fights where your cast time could be delayed.
   
   
   
   • Thorim
   
   
   • Halion
   
   
   • Malygos
   
   
   
   

Chakra: Prayer of Healing

1. Increases the effect of your AOE healing spells by 10%
   
   
   Circle of Healing
   Divine Hymn
   Prayer of Healing
   Holy Nova
   Holy Word: Sanctuary
   
   
   
   


2. Reduces the cooldown on Circle of Healing by 2 seconds.


3. Holy Word: Sanctuary
   
   
   
   • Targets a zone to become a sanctuary and heals those standing inside of it for 267 to 317 every 2 seconds for 18 seconds.
   
   
   • You can only have one Sanctuary up at a time – they do not stack. If you cast a Sanctuary while one is already present, the healing properties of the first one will stop, despite the graphic still being there.
   
   
   • Despite not being a direct heal, the healing effects of this spell will proc your mastery, Echo of Light.
   
   
   • Allies must remain in the zone to receive the full effect of the healing. If they step out of it, for any reason, the healing immediately stops.
   
   
   • The effects from Holy Word: Sanctuary are capable of critical heals.
   
   
   
   



4. Best suited for healing through burst AOE damage, preferably with people grouped up.
   
   
   
   • Blood Queen Lana’thel
   
   
   • Twin Valkyr
   
   
   • Freya
   
   
   
   

Chakra: Smite

1. Increases all damage done by your Shadow & Holy spells by 15%.


2. Holy Word: Chastise - Remains unchanged by this Chakra.
   



3. Works best for leveling or during a lull in incoming damage, where healing is light and you can find time to do some DPS.
