well-being improves, that you can cope better with difficult situations, and
that you feel more settled and balanced in yourself.

The subtle body
and the chakras.
Seven principle chakras are located in a line running down
the centre of the body. Originating in ancient India this concept describes an undetectable network
of channels through which life energy (prana) flows. This life energy transcends
the physical body and is linked to the aura of the individual. Each
chakra governs certain aspects of our being, when functioning appropriately
each chakra is believed to vibrate at the frequency of one of the colours of
the rainbows spectrum. A malfunction in one affects them all, thus
inhibiting prana to flow smoothly throughout the body. As a result our Physical,
mental and spiritual well-being become sluggish or blocked resulting in illness
or unease.
Identifying and correcting the unbalanced energy patterns helps the
body to regain balance, release stress and repair damage.
Balancing the chakras is at the heart of crystal healing, we can use crystals
to balance each chakra with its main energetic colour e.g. Placing a stone of the appropriate colour on each chakra
for a few minutes will help with balancing the whole system.
