Whilst some people suggest that 12, 22, or even 114 energy points exist within the human form, the most widely accepted & understood model is the Seven Chakra System. These seven primary Chakras run along the spine from the base, through the neck & all the way to the crown of your head. These Chakras connect your body & mind to your emotions & spirit, & hold great importance to your wellbeing on every level. Each Chakra carries a particular set of associations, such as specific herbs, frequencies, colours, foods, symbols, mantras, &, of course, gemstones, which can be utilised in order to bring the energy into balance.

Within each Chakra is ‘prana’ or pure healing energy that is all around us & within us. It is important for this energy to flow in order to keep us healthy, happy & vibrant. When our Chakras are open, spinning & aligned, our energy is constantly flowing, which allows prana to move through them with ease. However, an energy centre that is out of balance & interferes with our body’s natural energy flow can lead to emotional & spiritual disturbances. A Chakra may become blocked, under-active, or over-active for various reasons, such as emotional upsets, illness, blocked emotions like anger, pain etc., unresolved childhood trauma, or even karmic or past life issues. Chakras also relate closely to our physical wellbeing, so it is important to nourish our body with proper food & nutrients so our energy flows well.
