Chakra Therapy

The word "Chakra" is Sanskrit word for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. The Chakras are the seven power points in the human body that circulate energy or the life force also known as prana. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia branching forth from the spinal column. In addition, the Chakras also correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and much much more.
Diseases tend to point to the region of the body that is governed by that Chakra. This allows us to see where the energy is "stagnant". This energy is connected with our physical body through seven centers. These centers represent our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. When these centers are healthy and in balance, then we are the equivalent. If the Chakra are unbalanced - not properly aligned or blocked - it can affect physical and mental health.

Accessing Your Needs
In order to balance your energy points with color you first must access if your energy center points are balanced or unbalanced. Based on the Physical/Mental/Emotional attitudes causing the unbalance, you can access the most prominent color needed. This is why Holistic Healing seeks the metaphysical cause behind the physical problem.

• An underactive chakra is usually one in which the energy is blocked or congested. The energy does not flow freely through the physical system. If it is congested , blocked, underactive, we lack the energy to perform our daily functions. An application of color can help to stimulate the chakra into a balanced state.
• An overactive chakra is one in which over stimulation occurs. There is too much energy being drawn in and out of the center, aggravating a specific condition. An application of the complementary or opposite color is used.
  The general rule for the chakra: If the chakra is underactive, an application of its basic color is used. If the chakra is overactive, then the application of the complementary or opposite color is used.

Chakra balancing
One effective method used to balance or unblock the energy flows of the 7 chakras is gemstones and crystals. By using colored gemstones that relate to the color of each chakra, one can combine thought with the energy of the gemstone to balance energies in the area that is blocked. This can be done by use of colored gemstones and specialised healing tools like tumbled stones, seven chakra healing wand, chakra jewelry, Chakra pendants, Chakra bracelets, Obelisks and Massagers to direct the stone's energy to the desired chakra.
