A Beginner's Guide to the 7 Chakras and Their Healing Crystals
You've probably heard the term "chakra," but what does it really mean? The chakras are the main energy centers of the body, running along the spine from its base to the crown of the head. When these centers are balanced and open, our energy flows freely, and we feel a sense of well-being. When they are blocked, we can experience physical and emotional imbalances.
Crystals, with their unique vibrational frequencies, are powerful tools for cleansing, balancing, and aligning these energy centers. Here is a simple guide to the seven main chakras and the crystals that resonate with each.
