Understanding The Chakra System
The chakra system enables us to gather, process and release energy from the earth and from the atmosphere around us. They feed the life force into our endocrine system, which in turn stimulates and regulates our hormonal balance. So although the chakra system exists in the etheric body, it has a close connection to, and inter-relates with, the physical body. The chakra conducts and filters a constant flow of energy through us. Crystals can help maintain this balanced flow.

The Chakra System
As we learned of in the second lesson, the chakras are seven major centres within each level of the aura, joined together at intervals along the spine. They are constantly moving, absorbing currents of energy. The chakras are an essential part of our bio-energy system. A free flow of life-giving energy is vital to the health and well being of the individual. The electro-magnetic energy circulating around the body stimulates various glands, thus maintaining hormonal balance and affecting our whole metabolism.

All life forms have chakra centres and these act as conductors of energy. It is believed that the mineral kingdom has one chakra, the animal kingdom has three or four, but it is only in man that we have three transpersonal centres linking us and allowing us to communicate with the divine world.
There are seven main and twenty-one minor chakras. It is a good idea to learn the positions of the minor chakras as well as the major chakras, as crystals or gemstones can be very effective when laid on these places. The major chakras are found at the base of the spine (root), the sacral centre (spleen), the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the brow (or third eye) and the crown.
Each of the seven major chakras corresponds to a certain colour frequency, which attracts the power of that particular colour vibration and therefore has its own particular powerful healing qualities.
