Learn about Chakras

I'm new to chakras. What the heck are they?

Chakra is the Sanskrit word for “wheel,” outlining each chakra as a spinning wheel of energy that moves in sync with each other.  The chakra represents an energy center responsible for certain emotions, qualities, and organs in humans.

When these chakras lose balance or become blocked, it directly affects one’s spiritual, mental, and physical health.

Chakra healing stones, also called chakra crystals, are stones that connect to the primary seven chakras in the human body. Healing crystals restore balance and natural energy flow in the chakra system for maximum well-being.
