The word chakra comes from the Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel' or 'turning'. Chakras are generally depicted as flower like or wheel like and represent the major energy centres of the body. The spacing of the 7 chakras matches major nerves or endocrine centres in the body. The chakras can become easily blocked, making us feel sick or out of balance. Using gemstones associated to each chakra helps aid the alignment and balance of the 7 main chakras.
