What are Chakras?
CHAKRA is the Sanskrit word for wheel or disc and signifies one of the seven main energy centers in the body. Each of these centers is a high frequency vortex of spinning energy located along the cerebrospinal complex. Balanced chakras are important for the healthy functioning of the body mind system as a synchronistic whole. The chakras correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, and much more. Chakra jewlery use gemstones for healing the chakras. Gemstones are used at Chakra centers for clearing, revitalizing, and healing. Generally, the stones correspond with the associated color of the chakra.
