The Chakras
According to mystical Eastern philosophy, originally from Indian yoga, they are energy centres connecting body and mind.

Chakras form an invisible field, linking human endocrine glands, which regulate the body’s functions through hormone production.

The idea of invisible energy lines is not confined to Indian philosophy; it embraces Buddhist culture, the Chi of Chinese medicine, and even Western Ley lines pointing to water and mineral sources in the land.

In the West, we use a model of 7 Chakras, with specific colour associations.

Accessed through practices like meditation, yoga, and crystal healing, Chakra awareness can encourage a healthier lifestyle through bringing body, mind, and spirit into better balance.

With such an emphasis now on stress-management and better use of energy, Chakra balancing may be the perfect system for internal harmony, focusing the mind, calming the emotions, and healing the body.

Psychic readers often work with the Chakras, and may have experience of crystals and colour therapy.

The following guide to crystal and colour associations is also a good starting point for anybody interested in trying out methods for working with Chakra energy:
