Both the Sefirot and the Chakras (chakra in Sanskrit = "wheel"; sefirah in Hebrew [by one derivation] = "sphere") are mapped onto the human body, but there are ten Sefirot and only seven Chakras. There are also seven lower Sefirot that are often treated separately. Sometimes people try to map these seven to the Chakras. But the correct map shuttles between the "vertical" levels of the Sefirot and the Chakras. What we really find is that three of the Chakras, in the system of the Kabbalah, are split into right and left, making a total of ten.

1) Keter, Crown, is the Crown chakra.

2) Chokhmah and Binah, Wisdom and Understanding, are the Third eye.

3) Chesed and Gevurah, Love and Might, right arm and left arm, are the throat chakra.

To see how this can work simply stretch your arms out horizontally – throat and arms really are one level, the higher expression of will through speaking and grasping.

5) Netzach and Hod, Eternity and Majesty, right and left leg, are the will, Hara, connected with the solar plexus.

The former (i.e. where your legs take you) are the most externalized expression of will. (Fans of The Teachings of Don Juan will recognize something familar here in the relationship between the body's center and lomotion.)

7) Malkhut, Kingdom, Shekhinah, the feminine that completes the whole, is the Root chakra.

Here is where we find the greatest divergence in form, at least on a superficial level, since the Root chakra, which is the beginning of consciousness, is internal to the body whereas Malkhut is more like the ground or the earth. The Root chakra is also connected with earth however, and furthermore (as I just learned from Wikipedia's entry on Chakra) it's connected with "grounding, sexuality (for men)", which in a hetero context is pretty much the same as Shekhinah on the level of the body. At any rate, it works and it makes sense. Incidentally, Wikipedia also charts the sacrum as "sexual energy (for women)", closely corresponding to Yesod in the standard hetero map of the Sefirot.

An even more intricate correspondence might be drawn between Shekhinah, Shevirat Hakeilim and Shakti peetha, which is described this way in Wikipedia's article on Hindu Goddesses: "Goddess Sati had earlier performed self-immolation at the ceremonial feast of her father king Daksha and an enraged and inconsolable Lord Shiva was wandering all over the Creation, with her dead body, threatening its very existence. Each point on the earth where her body parts fell is now venerated as a Shakti Peetha - the seat of Shakti or female power."
