Handcrafted Beaded Artisan Jewelry – Crystal Shopping for the Chakras!

The word chakras is considered new age terminology in most parts of the world, particularly in the West. The word chakras is a Sanskrit word which refers to the 7 spinning energy centers along the mid-line which constitute the subtle energy system of the human body, as believed by the ancient Vedic philosophy of India. These 7 energy centers, or chakras, act as an energetic blueprint to the body’s physical and emotional condition, with each chakra corresponding to a particular facet of the psyche and physical organ system. Furthermore, each chakra is characterized by a different color and is sensitive to certain crystals, gemstones and minerals. Wearing a crystal or gemstone associated with a particular chakra has the power of activating that chakra and offering its unique gifts of physical and emotional healing, spiritual connection and so much more.

There are hundreds of crystals, gemstones and minerals on this earth, and so many still to be discovered. It is important to know which stones correspond to each chakra. This knowledge is a powerful instrument in healing one’s own physical and emotional disorders. It is believed in ancient Vedic philosophy that one’s physical and emotional condition is apparent in the energetic blueprint of the body long before it manifests in our lives. Therefore, applying crystals and gemstones to their relative energy centers, or chakras, is also a powerful preventative tool. Learning how each chakra and its relative crystals and gemstones relates to our physical and emotional systems is a magical and empowering journey.
