7 Chakras

The seven chakras are the main energy centers of the body. You've probably heard people talk about "unblocking" their chakras, which refers to the idea that when all of our chakras are open, energy can run through them freely, and harmony exists between the physical body, mind, and spirit. Chakra translates to "wheel" in Sanskrit, and you can imagine them like wheels of free-flowing positive energy.

There are 7 chakras in total: the Root Chakra, the Sacral Chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra, the Heart Chakra, the Throat Chakra, the Third Eye Chakra, and the Crown Chakra.

Your 1st chakra is located at the bottom of the tailbone–in the perineum for men and in the cervix for women.

You’ll find the 2nd chakra in your pelvic region, a couple of inches below the belly button.

The 3rd chakra sits in your stomach–around 2-3 inches above the belly button.

Your 4th chakra is located in the chest, in and around the heart space.

You’ll find your 5th chakra right in the middle of your throat.

The 6th chakra is between the eyebrows–extending to your brain’s pineal gland.

Your 7th chakra is at the very top of your head, resting on your crown.

It helps to keep the seven Chakras at their right energy levels causing the wearer to feel more balanced. The task becomes attainable as it helps to focus on keeping the chakras open and replace negative thoughts with an optimistic outlook towards life.

When you pair certain crystals with chakras in the body, the crystalline structure of gemstones work to amplify your healing intentions and restore and rebalance the energy body by removing blockages. Cleansing of the 7 chakras also brings balance to overactive energy while strengthening any weaknesses.
