CHAKRA COLLECTION
I have gathered together a selection of items from my range which I believe will aid self-healing and bring a sense of well-being to your life journey, by helping to balance your Chakras.
-
Root chakra — The Red Chakra . This is the1st chakra and is located at the base of the spine/tailbone. This chakra corresponds to the very root of our being, and can be unbalanced if we feel our basic needs are threatened, particularly relating to food and financial security. This chakra can be balanced with red & black gemstones such as Red Jasper, Carnelian, Black Tourmaline, Black Onyx and Hematite. Re-connecting with nature helps to keep you grounded which heals this chakra. Take a walk among the trees, go barefoot on grass.

Sacral chakra — The Orange Chakra - The 2nd Chakra is located just below the navel. This chakra's primary function is pleasure and enjoyment of life, including sexuality. It is the seat of the emotions. Stress, upset, repressed emotions, curbed desires, sexual trauma and addictive behaviours can cause blockages in the sacral chakra. Chakra gemstones that can be used to balance the sacral chakra are Carnelian, Tiger Eye and Red Jasper. To balance this chakra re-connect with water, bathe, swim, drink lots of water. Get creative, do what feels fun, whether that’s colouring, drawing, cooking, baking or gardening.

This chakra is impacted by fear and anxiety. Use jewellery featuring Tiger Eye, Yellow Jade/Jasper/Agate and Citrine to balance this chakra. Exercising or walking outside for at least 20-30 minutes of sun every day improves this chakra. Also using essential oils such as Lavender or Lemongrass on your *Aromatherapy bracelet.

So - what are Chakras?
Many cultures and traditions teach that the body contains seven energy centres called Chakras. Keeping your chakras balanced, or aligned, helps balance your emotional and physical health. Learning about and paying attention to the imbalances in your chakras can help you feel centered, energised, and at peace. The chakras begin at the base of the spine and continue upwards to the crown of your head. Each chakra has it's own specific color, which corresponds to certain gemstones—this forms the basis of chakra jewellery.
