"Chakra" is interpreted in many different ways. Generally, a Chakra corresponds to the different energy sources in the body. There are 7 main Chakras (listed in the image above); it is believed that these focal points represent and regulate our vital sources of energy and power. When a Chakra becomes blocked, this may result in dis-ease or imbalance in our body and even in an area of our life. Stones can be used to open and realign the Chakras due to the vibrations in the Stones. Certain Stones correspond to various Chakras and can even be placed on these points to facilitate a harmonious flow of energy. Having awareness of the correlation between Chakras and Stones can compliment your meditation practice. Planetary energy is transmitted through the Chakras via the endocrine system, activating the subtle bodies.
