interpretations - spiritual elements - chakras

The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel. Each chakra is stimulated by its own and complimentary color as well as a range of gemstones.

The chakra colors are the same as the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet although some say the colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and all colors or white.

If the chakras are not balanced, or if the energies are blocked, the basic life force will be slowed down. You might feel listless, tired, out of sorts, or depressed. A constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of well being.

The reason why crystals and gemstones are wonderful and powerful healing tools is because of what science calls the "piezoelectric" effect. Crystals and gemstones respond vibrationally to the electricity that is coursing through our body (this electricity is recognized by medical science), and if the energy is sluggish, the constant electrical vibrations of the stones will help to harmonize, balance, and stimulate these energies.
