Chakras

Chakras are energy centers that run from the base of your spine out the top, or crown, of your head. The word chakras (pronounced sha-kras) is the Sanskrit word for wheel . There are seven major chakras, each a circular wheel of light spinning in your energetic system, associated with certain body parts, a color, stone, element, and function. By learning to tune into the energy of your chakras, you can begin to embrace the fullness of who you truly are.

Chakras are like spirals of energy, each chakra relating to the others. Imagine the main chakras (energy centers) as a set of wheels. Chakras are rather like the workings of an engine; each wheel needs to move smoothly and at a similar speed for the engine to work properly. Good health and well-being is achieved by a balance of all the chakras or energies.

Chakras vitalize the physical body and bring about the development of our self-consciousness. Chakras are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions. Individually, your chakras look similar to funnels with petal-like openings. Chakras are invisible to the human eye, but they can be perceived intuitively by trained energy healers. Blocked energy in our 7 chakras can often lead to illness so it's important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.

Crystals Associated with the Seven Major Chakras

There are many chakra gemstones that are specifically helpful in balancing the individual chakras. A good rule of thumb is to match the color of the healing stone with the color associated with the chakras (i.e. purple stones for balancing crown chakra, red stones for balancing the root chakra, green stones for the heart chakra, etc.).
