What are the chakras?
In Sanskrit the word “Chakra” means wheel. There are seven main chakras, or rotating energy centers, located along the spine, starting at the base and running up towards the crown of the head. Each center has its own color and associated spiritual, emotional and psychological designations. Jewelry containing chakra colors or specific energetic stones is often worn to help maintain clear energy channels or provide balance where needed.
