Chakras

The Chakras are energy vortexes in our

body by which various aspects of universal
energy are "stepped down" for specific
uses.
While there are thousands of chakras in
our body, listed below are the seven major
chakras with their related stones.

While the listed stones are the ones

generally related to that specific
chakra, please take note of the
following:

You can use clear quartz crystal for all

chakras. Agates, Jaspers, Calcites,
Tourmalines, Fluorites and Quartz come in
many natural colors and can be used with
the chakras whose color they relate to.

If you feel a certain stone should or should

not be used with a chakra, regardless of
color or type, go with your instincts.

All stones seek to harmonize and balance

energy in some beneficial way and their
particular qualities may or may not be
useful for you at any particular time.

For more information on chakras, please

see our graph in the articles section.

First Chakra--Root Chakra

This is the root because it absorbs energy from
the earth. Its location is at your tailbone and
the pubic bone in front. It is sometimes called
the basal chakra. It is the most primitive energy
center and regulates our basic survival
mechanisms. We associate the color red with
this chakra. The immune system, our will to
live, and our ability to reproduce are in its
domain. It is our basic life force and properly
stimulated it can ease fears and make us aware
of past talents. Studying the individual chakras
begins with the root chakra, called Muladhara
in Sanskrit. This center holds the basic needs
for survival, security and safety. The root
chakra is powerfully related to our contact with
the Earth Mother, providing us with the ability
to be grounded into the earth plane. This is
also the center of manifestation. When you are
trying to make things happen in the material
world, business or material possessions, the
energy to succeed will come from the first
chakra.

have heard this is between a woman's ovaries.)
This center monitors our basic emotions,
creativity, the lower digestive tract, excretory
system, kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder and
pancreas. It concerns itself with detoxification
of the body. The next chakra or second chakra
is often referred to as the belly or (sacral). It is
located two inches below the navel and is
rooted into the spine. This center holds the
basic needs for sexuality, creativity, intuition,
and self-worth. This chakra is also about
friendliness, creativity, and emotions. It
governs people’s sense of self-worth, their
confidence in their own creativity, and their
ability to relate to others in an open and
friendly way. It's influenced by how emotions
were expressed or repressed in the family
during childhood.

Third Chakra--Solar Plexus Chakra

This is also referred to as the Solar plexus
Chakra. Located just below the breastbone at
the base of the sternum and it appears yellow
in color. (I find this one is right about the belly
button.) This chakra is the point of personal
power and expression of creativity. When
balanced there is use of that power. Astral
voyages are also associated with this chakra.
This chakra is also concerned with the powers
of the mind, emotions, stomach, and upper
digestive tract. The assimilation of nutrients,
psychic experiences, rational (left brain)
thought processes and atonement to the
influence of nature’s elements within our lives
are part of this Chakra’s domain. The third
chakra is referred to as the Solar Plexus. It is
located two inches below the breastbone in the
center behind the stomach. The third chakra is
the center of personal power, the place of ego,
of passions, impulses, anger and strength. It is
also the center for astral travel and astral
influences, receptivity of spirit guides and for
psychic development. When the Third Chakra is
out of balance you may lack confidence, be
confused, worry about what others think, feel
that others are controlling your life, and may be
depressed. Physical problems may include
digestive difficulties, liver problems, diabetes,
nervous exhaustion, and food allergies.

Fourth Chakra--Heart Chakra

Also known as the heart chakra and is located
in the center of the chest at approximately the
level of the heart muscle between the ribs on
the sternum. Its color is green. This energy
center influences the thymus gland of our
immune system, circulatory system, tissue
regeneration, and right brain function. It is the
center of our higher love, healing, and
understanding, and compassion. It is the
gatekeeper to the higher chakras and must be
unblocked for us to grow spiritually. It is the
crossroad of transformation and balance. It
stands midway between the physical and
spiritual life. Both forms of energy are
processed here. If the spiritual energy coming
from the upper three chakras is blocked, this
will deny the lower three the vital energy
required for preparing our physical body for its
spiritual growth. This Chakra generally opens
during group ritual magick. The fourth chakra is
referred to as the heart chakra. It is located
behind the breastbone in front and on the spine
between the shoulder blades in back. This is
the center for love, compassion and spirituality.
This center directs one's ability to love
themselves and others, to give and to receive
love. This is also the chakra connecting body
and mind with spirit. Almost everyone today
has a hard, hurt, or broken heart, and it is no
accident that heart disease is the number one
killer in America today. Deep heart hurts can
result in aura obstructions called heart scars.
When these scars are released, they raise a lot
of old pain, but free the heart for healing and
new growth.
When this chakra is out of balance you may feel
sorry for yourself, paranoid, indecisive, afraid of
letting go, afraid of getting hurt, or unworthy of
love.

Seventh Chakra--Top Chakra

The crown chakra is located at the top of the
head and functions as an inlet for and as a link
with spiritual energies. Violet is it color. This
centers also referred to as the "Thousand Petal
Lotus" and functions to maintain a continuity of
consciousness. It is the 1st chakra to receive
spiritual energy from cosmic sources, and last
energy center to process energy flowing up
from the lower chakras. A block in this chakra
means there is no flow of spiritual energy in
either direction. Life now becomes stagnant
and meaningless. All possibilities for spiritual
growth will cease and the physical body will
eventually die when this chakra is blocked.
Proper balancing of this chakra can release
information of our higher self with our physical
body. The seventh chakra is referred to as the
Crown. It is located just behind the top of the
skull. It is the center of spirituality,
enlightenment, dynamic thought and energy. It
allows for the inward flow of wisdom, and
brings the gift of cosmic consciousness. This is
also the center of connectedness with the
Goddess (God), the place where life animates
the physical body. The silver cord that connects
the aura bodies extends from the crown. The
soul comes into the body through the crown at
birth and leaves from the crown at death.

We as spiritual beings are immersed in the
energy field of the universe. This consists of all
5 lower planes. You may only be conscious of
events occurring on the physical plane, such as
fragrance of perfume, an itch on your body, or
the sound of a bird chirping. This does not limit
us to the physical plane. The reason we do not
perceive these other dimensions are simply due
to the fact that our consciousness cannot
handle the extra data. The true nature of our
being is spiritual and energy based. Normally
our energies are in complete balance and
harmony. We have a higher self, the perfect
part of our soul, which regulates these
energies. Chakra energies are a significant
component of this system. Our soul is simply
energy that’s created in duality and is trying to
return to its original source. The subconscious
mind is another term for the soul. As spiritual
beings composed of energy, we are dynamic in
motion, and its natural for us to reach outland
interact with other energies. This interaction
contributes to our realignment in our own
energy systems.

THE EIGHTH CHAKRA-THE

TRANSPERSONAL POINT is located several
inches above the center of the head is the
Transpersonal point. Place a hand there and a
tingling sensation in the palm identifies the
center. Its color is clear and is activated by
selenite or zircon. Through the Transpersonal
point the soul is manifested into matter, it
carries the individual’s reasons to incarnate
into this lifetime. Other names for this center
include "Soul Star" and "Heavenly Chi".
