The Chakras represent subtle energy centers throughout the body. It helps to visualize them as Wheels or Lotus flowers each with a specific number of petals. Each chakra in the Seven Chakra System regulate different functions—physiological as well as psycho-spiritual.  When they are balanced and flowing, i.e. processing energy at the right speed, we are healthy and harmonious.  When there are blockages or the energy does not flow properly then we are stressed, unbalanced and vulnerable to dis-ease.  

 

We design jewelry using specific gemstones to help balance each chakra individually.  For example, we use garnet in our root chakra designs because it is an excellent stone for balancing and “it stimulates from both the base and crown chakras to provide for free flow of movement, via the spinal column” (Melody 176-177). 

 

Black or red stones maintain a symbolic connection to the root chakra, which should not be dismissed, and we also feel specific stones shown to balance or invite flow for each chakra are excellent in addressing specific energy needs.
