Chakra is a Sanskrit word referring to energy vortexes in our bodies through which vital universal energies are channeled and distributed for specific uses. It is believed that the body has 7 major Chakra points, associated with specific areas of the body and characteristics corresponding to those areas. Our goal is to achieve balance in all of these areas and when that happens, our body, mind, and spirit all work as one. An imbalance of energy in any area can cause excessive or deficient behavior in that area. Negative energies come from without and within, but if we can achieve the proper balance of our Chakras, then we gain the strength to control internal problems as well as to resist the many negative external influences that we encounter on a daily basis.
Although these energies are intangible, associations exist to provide us with a physical link to each Chakra. These associations include colors, gemstones and essences, and are to be used to focus on a specific Chakra to energize, revitalize, balance and heal.
Our jewelry uses genuine gemstones. Just as these stones have had the strength to survive the treacheries of the earth and emerge to the beautiful forms that they now have, you have the power to emerge from the stresses and trials of life as a stronger and more beautiful person. The difference is that the choice is yours. Wear these stones to assist in meditation and to provide a constant reminder that the power to balance your energies lies solely within your being. Allow the stones to assist you in working to achieve the balance, harmony and serenity that is rightfully yours.
As each Chakra is associated with a general color range in the spectrum, there is a certain amount of overlap in the colors, and there are a number of stones that will work for each Chakra. The important thing is that the particular stone feels right to you. If it doesn’t feel right, then using it will not have the desired effect. If it does feel right, then it can be very beneficial to you. |
