The concept of chakras originated many thousands of years ago in Asia and it is fascinating to see how it only grows in interest and importance over the centuries.The ancient philosophers and metaphysicians identified seven main energy centers in the body, with each chakra identified with a color of the rainbow emanating energy affecting the mental, physical, and spiritual balance of every person. Chakra theory is at the foundation of many Eastern healing practices. One of the simplest ways to achieve well-being is to place a crystal on the part of the body where a particular chakra is located. Many people I know credit their clarity and health to chakra therapy. One sure way to relieve stress and enhance the emotional body is the chakric application of crystals. A goddessy girlfriend of mine placed an amber stone in her navel when she was starting a business, and her personal power and drive soared. These things do work! Perhaps you might choose a ring for your left hand with a lovely pink or red stone to open your heart and bring both love and serenity. Now, it does not get better than that, does it?
