Chakras are energy centers that link your physical expression to the non-physical.
In other words, they connect your body to the energy of your mind and spirit. These 7 main chakras run along your spine. Each expresses a color that corresponds to different energies.
Imbalances in the chakras can correspond to problems:
- Physical
- Emotional
- Mental
- Spiritual
To help balance energies, you can work with crystals and stones by placing those of the same color on the corresponding chakras.
The different chakras
To help you see things more clearly, here are the different chakras explained, from the bottom of your body upwards:

It’s the center of family and tribal (community) identity, and concerns issues of safety and security, as well as leg and foot problems.
