Balancing Our Chakras
In our subtle body live the seven chakras. Each one of these chakras pertain to certain organs in our body and contribute to the emotions we feel. It is important for these chakras to be balanced so that energy can flow smoothly through our bodies for optimal health in mind, body and spirit. The spiritual energy of the chakras is vital to creating a whole happy, joyous being. Balancing this energy system is important to our emotional and physical health.
Everything is energy. Crystals are vibrating energy to be used in balancing or activating the energy of a chakra. Certain crystals are used in conjunction with a particular chakra to bring all the chakras into harmony allowing them to spin in perfect time and motion. Since each chakra is represented by a color the crystal used for that chakra is usually matched up with the same crystal color.
We can also create Chakra balance and harmony with essential oils. Apply them on the chakra itself, or any place on your body, diffuse them, wear them on aroma therapy jewelry or take a relaxing salt bath.
