Seven chakras in our body

Locating The Chakras

These energy centers are not visible to the naked eye, but it is easy to locate them.

You may care to try a simple experiment to find the chakras within your own body. Simply place the palms of your hands can inch or so away from the general area of the chakra you wish to locate. (See the picture) Close your eyes. Breathe regularly. Try to visualize a soft white light gleaming between your palms and your body. Within a fairly short time, you will probably feel a stream of magnetism/power/energy emanating from the chakra with which you are working.

Some people achieve immediate success, but don’t be disappointed if this experiment doesn’t work for you the first time your try it. You may need to repeat the procedure several times before results become apparent. As with most things in life persistence pays – but it is important that you should remain completely relaxed. Tension and effort will result only in frustration.

Remember, too, that you are not playing games. You are dealing with your life force. Don’t be tempted to show off your newly acquired talents as a party piece.

Crystal And The Chakras

Within the body of every human being are to be found seven centers of energy, known as the chakras. The word ‘chakra’ is a Sanskrit term meaning ‘wheel of light’. Thus, the chakras are often illustrated as turning of vibrating wheels of – more romantically-
as lotus flowers. If we are to enjoy complete mental and physical health, these wheels need to be perfectly balanced. When the life force or the flow of energy between the chakras is blocked or restricted, crystals can often be used to correct the problem. Simply expressed, this healing occurs when the vibrations emanating from the crystals are balanced with the vibrations of the chakras.

What is Crystal Healing

Crystal healing is a form of healing that uses crystals or gemstones. The crystals are mainly placed on specific areas of the body called "chakras." Chakra is a Hindu term meaning spiritual energy. According to this teaching there are seven basic energy centers in the body, each having a color associated with it.

Some crystal healers place the same color crystals as the color of the chakras on the person to enhance the flow of energy. Crystals are said to direct the flow of energy to the person in a particular part of the body and bring balance to a person's energy. Ultimately, they are used to cleanse the person from bad or negative energy believed to cause an illness.

Clearing out the bad spiritual energy alleviates the physical ailment. Crystals are used for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. Not only do people visit "crystal healers", in some places, professional nurses are being trained to use crystals for their patients. Additionally, crystals can be worn, placed next to a person's bed as they sleep, and in some cases placed around a person's bath.
