GEMS FOR CHAKRAS
Chakras and Gemstones
How does the Gemstones affect the Chakras Chakras are a common concept in several disciplines of alternative medicine and traditional Oriental medicine. A chakra is a centre of energy which has several functions. In addition to being 'representative' of a particular organ or group of organs, a chakra also controls our being on different levels and it links these two representative states.
Chakras are energy vortices in the body that transmit the life force throughout the body. This life force is called Prana by Indian Ayurveda doctors and Ch'i by the Chinese Doctors. Certain gemstones are considered in tune with these Chakras and can be used to cleanse the Chakra and bring balance.
The body has seven basic body chakras and a number of minor chakras. These are listed in the table below ranked from the lowest to the highest:
How To Use this Chart:
If you suffer from an overactive chakra, look for gemstones under the column "subdue" to help you subdue that chakra and bring it back in balance.
If your problem is an underactive chakra (too little of the qualities), then look for gemstones under the column "open" to get help.
For example, an overactive (too much) Navel Chakra or Manipura might mean a person dominates everyone around him, causing him personal problems. To subdue/correct the Navel Chakra, the column under Subdues suggests the beneficial gemstones as: Amber, Moonstone, and Peridot.
On the other hand, a closed (i.e., underactive) Navel Chakra or Manipura might mean a lack of will power or self-control. To open this Chakra, the gemstones listed under the column "Open" are: Citrine, Calcite, and Topaz.
