Chakra stones have become a popular way to work on regaining balance and energy and connecting with your mind and body as you focus on each chakra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is chakra?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chakra means \u201cwheel\u201d; practitioners see chakras as spinning wheels of energy located along the spine. Chakras are used in a variety of ancient meditation practices but they are rooted in yoga, Ayurvedic, and Hindu teachings. While chakras cannot be seen by the human eye, they can be visualized, felt, and sensed with intuition. Chakras receive and send energy but when a chakra is imbalanced or blocked, the energy flow is disrupted. Many believe that such blockages can cause health issues in the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each chakra represents and is connected to one of the seven chakras (energy centers) around the body and its own emotional state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
