About Chakras, an Introduction to the Metaphysical

You may click on the chakra and be taken to a description of it's function.

A chakra is a vortex of energy. There are seven main chakra points on the human body which start at the base of the spine and finish at the crown. Simultaneously, they vibrate to create the body’s electro-magnetic field, or aura. As science states, color is a vibration of light; each chakra has a corresponding color.

“How chakras reveal the state of your health:”

When a person experiences optimal health, all chakras will vibrate at a healthy rate. This rate creates a complete rainbow of color, which surrounds the body. Hence, when one experiences emotional trauma or stress, the aura will lack the vital energy to maintain its healthy frequency. The colors will then appear muddy or not at all and the discolorations will eventually lead to physical illness. Unless the healing process addresses the emotional cause, the physical symptoms will persist. Conventional methods act only to cure the physical ailments, while the emotional and spiritual body remain ignored. The need for chakra balancing becomes eminent as the body cannot heal without the necessary tools.

“Healing with crystals and gemstones:”

Healing with crystals and gemstones is an ancient science. The body responds to gemstone healing by allowing the aura of the crystal to mix with the body’s bioelectrical field. The stone’s color corresponds to the particular chakra, revitalizing and clearing to reestablish balance and health. Breaking through blockages created by stress is the purpose of gemstone healing.
