| CHAKRAS are the 7 main energy centers of the body. They are in the center of the body, starting at the base of the spine and running up to the top of the head. They are the spinning wheels of conscious energy, in contact with the different bodily functions and emotions. People feel at their best when all the chakras are in balance with one another. Various techniques can be used when working with the chakras, both optimizing normal chakras to allow more ch'i energy through; and helping or balancing chakras that are unbalanced, blocked, or malfunctioning, and thus are not functioning properly. Since thought is an energy form, you can stimulate your chakra centers through meditation, visualization or breathing energy into your various chakra centers. By adding the color intention you add additional power from a chakra’s vibration. Gemstones and minerals are also energy forms. Wearing gemstone jewelry or placing gemstones and minerals in your environment is a simple way to absorb the stone or mineral’s healing vibrations. |

Red symbolizes life, vitality, strength and the physical nature of man. Health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence result from a balanced 1st Chakra.

It is associated with the acts of giving and receiving and is tied into the more physical feelings of love, passion and sexuality.
