What are chakras?

The word Chakra originates in Sanskrit and means “wheel”- as the chakra points appear to yogis and mystics as spinning disks of light.  The system of having energy centers, known as chakra points are used widely in yoga, acupuncture and energy healing. There are seven main chakra points on the body – aligned vertically on the center near the spine. These 7 chakra points help the flow of energy also known as pranic energy – the energy that passes through everything.

The body’s physical and emotional energies are in balance when the chakra points are properly aligned and are functioning correctly. Disturbances or unbalanced chakras can lead to mental, spiritual or emotional instabilities.

Stones and Chakras

Many energy healers believe that unbalanced chakras can be healed by crystals and gemstones. By applying the vibrational properties of crystals to corresponding areas on the body, energy workers can help clear, revitalize and heal the chakras based on these interactions. There are several crystals and stones that can be used with each chakra point.
