What are Chakras?

Within the human body are seven main chakras. Each chakra has an attachment to separate body areas including glands and organs. The word chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. When experts expand on the wheel concept, they refer to the fact that wheels twirl in a circular movement, which makes a vacuum. As a vacuum, a chakra will pull physical and mental challenges inside the body on a vibratory level.

The seven separate chakras have a purpose and they must work together to create balance within your body. With balance, you will experience physical and emotional peace. You can inspire all of the seven chakras with pure toned gems or acoustic chakra meditations, as they focus on each area’s assigned color and vibration.
