Information About The Chakras:

‘Chakras’ is derived from the Sanskrit word “cakram” meaning “wheel” or “circle”. The individual chakras are referred to as: 1) Chakrum; 2) Chakra; 3) Cakrum; 4) Cakra. It is alleged that the subtle life energy known as ‘prana’ is channeled from the chakra points through a vast network of subtle nerves called nadis. These nadis are said to supply the etheric bodies (kosas) with light, which is responsible for intellect, wisdom, understanding, clarity of mind and awareness. It is said there are as many as 88,000 chakras and 77,000 nadis in our entity and each chakra is ruled by a particular god (truth) or goddess (wisdom). The culimation of all these truths and facets of wisdom (through chakra activation) is said to result in enlightenment or illumination.
There are several different types chakra concepts that can be found in Hindu agamas, tantric texts (Sat-Cakra-Nirupana and the Padaka-Pancaka), Vajrayana Buddhism, the Himalayan Bönpo religion, traditional Chinese acupuncture, rGyud-bzhi (Four Tantras) and Vagbhata’s Ashtangahrdaya.
There are primarily six major chakra centers that culimate in Sahasrara, which is often called the “crown chakra”. The crown chakra has been described as a state of transcendence and enlightenment and is not always considered a chakra.
Different types of crystals, minerals and semi-precious stones are often used in New Age practices to awaken and balance the chakras. These “chakra stones” are usually selected by matching the color of the crystals, minerals or semi-precious stones with the corresponding chakra colors. For example, indigo colored azurite would be used for the indigo colored third-eye chakra and orange colored carnelian would be used for the orange colored navel chakra. It is believed that various types of crystals, minerals and semi-precious stones help in opening & balancing the chakras. Crystal pendulums are often used to detect and align the chakras. Mudras (or specific hand gestures) are also believed to stimulate subtle energies within the chakras. In Hinduism, various mantras are used to awaken the kundalini and to open the chakras.
