    G NANDA KISHORE

    Chakras are spinning vortices of energy. They form the basis of

    the ancient Indian healing system which works on your

    physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self. Chakra comes

    from the Sanskrit, meaning wheel or disk. Each chakra point

    governs certain areas of the body, you can also imagine each

    chakra to be a flower, they come in seven different coloUrs and

    resonate at different frequencies. There are many chakras in

    the body, but most healers look at the seven major ones. Here

    are the seven chakras below with their simple break downs.

    divine wisdom, intuition (sixth sense) the ancients believed this chakrato be the seat of the soul, it acts like a gateway to knowledge and

    expanded consciousness. It is here where the ida and pingal the

    spiraling life's currants meet. Everything has a positive and a negative,

    or the yin and the yang, or day verses night, it is here when we meet at

    that resting place between the two we find a stillness and bliss which is

    known as shushumna. It is here movement stops and the energy flows

    towards the sacred light of the divine, as we rest here in this inner spaceit is a time of great healing where we can clear our negative thoughts

    from past present and future. We can renew and arise from limitations

    and ascend towards liberation. This lotus flower has 2 petal which

    powerful healing stone and adds protection while meditating on the

    third eye, plus its great for spiritual vibration.

    we find that inner peace we become whole again. To simply be A
