Chakras are energy centers that govern the flow between our physical body and our spiritual body. These seven energy centers run along a line that extends from the head to the base of the spine. Using crystal therapy with the chakras can cleanse them with vibrational healing. This is down by laying on ones back and having corresponding crystals placed on their respective chakras. This helps to cleanse and heal both the chakras and other ailments that reside inside the body. Each chakra has a home base and a color that represents it. The color that represents the chakra is how crystals are chosen.
