What are Energy Chakras?
The word chakra comes from the most ancient language we know - Sanskrit. The meaning of this word is “Wheel”. Ancient people believe that energies do not flow directly in and out but in the form of circular motion so that they affect us ferociously. Our modern science also mentioned that we have circular wheel-like vortexes in our body which draw energy from the surroundings on vibrational levels. And so we consume every type of energy from our environment from the feelings of other people to thoughts, and nature’s calm or turbulences.
Hence everything we come in contact with has an effect on us.

- Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthan Chakra)
- Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura Chakra)
- Heart Charka (Anahata Chakra)
- Throat Chakra (Visuddha Chakra)
- Third Eye Chakra (Ajna Chakra)

How Does Chakras Affect Our Life?
Chakras in their natural states let the energies flow through our body. They consume energy as well as radiates them. Since the energies are of different vibrations their impact is on different parts as well. If you know, the energy chakras each is defined by a particular color. They are the rainbow colors, the spectrum of seven colors that appear when white light is reflected on a prism.
Each color of this rainbow spectrum has its own wavelength, its own vibrations, and thus our energy centers. Red is the longest wavelength and is known for its warmth. The first chakra at the bottom is the root chakra is represented by the color red.
Violet's wavelength is the shortest but the fastest known for cool and calm, representing the Crown chakra, the first chakra from the top.
So it is clear that each chakra radiates energy and consumes energy of various vibration levels. The organs that work on the frequencies of the same level of a particular chakra get affected by these energies. When the energy centers all are in sync, and balanced, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more in sync with yourself as well.
Sometimes, these energy centers get unbalanced. They get out of sync because of many reasons - basically the situations of your life. Bad experiences, sadness, abuse, and the negative influence of other people can cause the energy center's blockage.
When your energy chakras get blocked your life can go worse. Even when one of the energy centers goes out of sync, it can cause other energy chakras to go out of sync as well - it will be a chain reaction. This will affect you on mental, emotional, and physical levels, causing your life to take a bad turn.
If you want to Nurture your mind, body, and soul, and let your energy centers be in tune, you should control the energies of your chakras and let them be activated. You can do Yoga, meditation, and other forms of calming activities to activate your energy chakras. However, the best way to let your energy chakras be in sync with each other and give your life a happier tuning is by wearing gemstones.
Each energy charka has a distinct vibration and so are the gemstones. Distinctive energies will come to you when you wear a gemstone for a particular chakra and balance your center.
