The word Chakra comes from the Sanscrit language and translates to mean wheel or disc. In total, there are some 88,000 chakras in the body however the vast majority of them are very small and are not used in chakra therapy.

Only 40 of the chakras have a large enough energy field to be useful in chakra therapy and only the 7 mentioned in this article are normally worked on when healing chakras because they are the largest and main chakras.

The chakras affect almost every aspect of our bodies and the health and well being of our minds, bodies and souls are tied directly into how well the chakras are functioning.

Under normal circumstances a chakra with a healthy flow of energy is constantly rotating in a clockwise manner and vibrates or almost pulses with energy. When the chakra energy becomes blocked, leaving the energy unable to flow or if the chakra is stuck in a wide open position, the harmony of the bodies energies is off balanced allowing illness and injury to manifest within the body.

Healing Chakras with Crystals

Chakra therapy can begin with a simple quartz crystal placed upon each chakra (one at a time or use 7 to cover all at once). You should be in a relaxed state, laying down and it will help to meditate on the specific chakra being worked on.

Visualize the chakras energy swirling smoothly around. See and feel the energy pulsing within the healing chakra, removing all blockages, letting go of all tensions. This should continue for at least 3 minutes but 15 minutes is better.

Chakra Therapy with Color Crystals

Healing Crystals come in a waide range of colors and types of stones. One from of healing chakras involves using a specific color of crystal for each of the chakras. Choose a crystal the same color as the color of the chakra (see the chart above) and proceed with teh chakra therapy as mentioned in the Healing Chakras with Crystals section above.

Again, use meditation to help increase the benefits you receive during chakra therapy by visualizing the energy flow during the treatment.

The field of chakra therapy is tremendous and the knowledge available is growing on a regular basis. We hope this small dose of knowledge has awakened within you the desire to learn more and urge you to keep seeking the knowledge that awaits you.
