Chakra's
Chakra's are known as "spinning wheels" of energy that reside in specific points in our bodies. Many people find their power through their practice with yoga, while others believe that Chakra's are specific to certain people.
One of the most common misconceptions I run across is those that believe that Chakra's are tied to a specific religion. Through my studies I have realized that Pauline Wills says it best,
Truth is not solely Hindu, nor Muslim, Buddhist or Christian. The follower of truth walks on the path of light, peace, wisdom, power and bliss. The philosophy and practices of yoga are a discipline without dogma and based on truth, and can therefore embrace all religions.
By understanding that Charka's are truth and nothing more than that, we can appreciate the value they give to our lives. When thinking about making this bracelet, we chose stones that were a little different than most.
The Base Chakra, or Root Chakra (often represented by the color red) is located at the base of the spine and essentially where we start our journey. It is known as the Chakra we build our foundation upon. We decided to use Red Tiger Eye for this Chakra due to its strong ability to give great insight, as well as it's protective nature. Its powerful grounding energies also give you the needed stability to create a solid base.
The Sacral Chakra (often represented by the color orange) is located just below your belly button and its primary purpose is concerned with pleasure within our lives. We decided to use Peach Moonstone for this Chakra due to its emotional soothing abilities. By reducing stress, stabilizing emotions, and providing calm, Peach Moonstone gives you the power to check into your pleasure zones by letting you drop negative emotions.
The Solar Plexus Chakra (often represented by the color yellow) is located right near your belly button. Based off of your physical response to digestion and the "fire" that helps aid your digestion the Solar Plexus is often thought of us our confidence or self-esteem Chakra. We decided to use Yellow Crazy Lace Agate for this Chakra due to its protective and recovering abilities. Yellow Crazy Lace Agate can aid you from exhaustion or fatigue, protect from outside energies as well as stabilize you emotionally. Because of this, your confidence can soar.
The Heart Chakra (often represented by the color green) is located exactly where you think it would be; your heart. It is the center of all Chakra's and is put there for good reason. The three Chakra's below the Heart are concerned with instinctual nature while the three above the Heart are there to help evolve you to a higher state of consciousness. The heart is the center due to its nature of love and compassion which we believe you need in order to live a balanced life. We decided to use Green Jade because of its powerful emotional healing. By connecting with your emotions you are able to tap into the emotions of others and create a compassionate life.
The Throat Chakra (often represented by the color blue) is located near the base of your throat. While somewhat misunderstood, the Throat Chakra is responsible for communication, self-expression, and the ability to speak your personal truth. We decided to use Amazonite because of it's soothing properties. By soothing your emotions and bringing balance to your throat you are able to speak your truth easily in order to express your true self.
The Third Eye Chakra, or Brow Chakra (often represented by the color indigo) is located in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows. This Chakra is for us "to know" or "to command." It is where our intuition lives, and is between our highest consciousness and the ego. We decided to use Lapis Lazuli because of its deep calming properties and its extremely strong connection to cosmic wisdom. Having to bring our consciousness and ego together require a lot of will power, and this stone is the one for the job.
The Crown Chakra (often represented by the color dark pink/purple) is located right above the crown of our heads and is responsible for connecting us to the divine. Our Crown Chakra is there to act as our center of spirit, wisdom, enlightenment and universal consciousness. We decided to use Amethyst for this Chakra due to its ability to activate spiritual awareness as well as enhance psychic abilities.
We added Crystal Quartz as a Unifier. We decided to do this because of Crystal Quartz's natural enhancement properties. By enhancing the properties of each stone, we believe we are giving you the best chance at balancing your Chakra's. As an added bonus, we used Lava Beads as an Essential Oil vessel. This way, you are able to keep the oils you are working with close, and get those Chakra's aligned all at the same time.
We truly believe you will fall in love with this bracelet and are so excited for you to experience it.
