According to yogic tradition, the human body is made of channels and energy centers through which prana, or life force, flows. These energy centers are called chakras.
Even though there are 114 energy centers distributed throughout all areas of the body, seven major chakras are believed to influence your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Each energy center is associated with a different color, sound, and vibration, as well as specific organs and body parts. The reason why each chakra is associated with a specific color is because of its unique vibration. Every energy center possesses its own pulse, density, frequency, and wavelength.
The main 7 chakras are:
Red: Root Chakra,
Orange: Sacral Chakra,
Yellow: Solar Plexus Chakra,
Green: Heart Chakra,
Blue: Throat Chakra,
Violet: Third Eye Chakra,
Transparent: Crown Chakra.
The chakra chart is divided into two sections: low chakras and high chakras.
The first three - root, sacral, and solar plexus are located in your lower body and are considered your physical and instinctual centers. They're deeply connected to the physical body and its primal needs. The remaining chakras - heart, throat, third eye, and crown are known as the spiritual centers, which are aligned with your higher self and the search for purpose and connection with the universe.
The healing properties of crystals can be activated and energies rebalanced by placing them on your body. Chakra balancing is commonly and effectively used by placing the corresponding colored crystals as you meditate.
