A Brief Guide to Chakras And Choosing the Right Chakra & Aura Bracelets for You
Jan 3rd 2023
Many of us have, at one point or another, heard of auras or chakras before, however not many of us are aware, exactly, of how they affect our bodies or how to control their energy flows. That's where aura bracelets and chakra bracelets come in handy.
With their purpose primarily as a way to help us control the flow of spiritual energy within our body, aura bracelets and chakra bracelets are a useful tool for spiritual healing. They carry with them several useful benefits that can affect our overall health and wellness.
However, there are still a lot of questions that many of us have regarding these spiritual energies. It's those questions that we mean to address in this article. What exactly are auras and chakras? How can we tell the difference between the two? What benefits do these bracelets, crystals, and gemstones have that can influence our spiritual energies?
Auras and Chakras: What's the Difference?
Auras and chakras both refer to our spiritual colors, colors that are present in every human being since birth. While both terms are sometimes confused with one another and used interchangeably, there is an actual difference between one's aur and one's chakra.
What Are Auras?
Auras are a field of energy or light that surrounds our physical body. The color of one's aura is based on one's spiritual state, and can reveal a lack of balance in one's energies, or indicate possible problems in health. It's a way of reading one's mental, spiritual, and physical state.
If you can imagine a light bulb and the light that it emits, our bodies are the physical form of the light bulb, and the light that the bulb produces are our auras.
What Are Chakras?
Chakra is a Sanskrit word which can be directly translated as "wheel" or "circle". Seven main chakras are contained within the body, each one located along the spine and connected to a major organ. These chakra points or stations are channels of energy, and they work on distributing that energy all throughout the body. One's overall health affects these chakras, and things like sickness and stress can block or clog one's chakra points.
The Seven Chakras
There are seven chakras in total, each one pertaining to a specific energy hub or station within the human body.
1. First Chakra (Root)
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is the center for survival, safety, and security. Having blockages in the root chakra may result in feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and even fear and frustration.
2. Second Chakra (Sacral)
The sacral, or belly chakra, is rooted in the spine and found two inches below the navel. This chakra is the holder for our basic needs for creativity, sexuality, self-worth, and intuition. This center affects one's confidence, friendliness towards others, and their energy levels.
3. Third Chakra (Solar Plexus)
The third chakra can be found behind the stomach, two inches underneath the breastbone. It's considered the center for being receptive to spiritual guides and influences, and is also the center for our ego, passions, anger, and impulses. A balanced third chakra allows you to feel more outgoing and cheerful, as well as have a stronger sense of empowerment and self-respect.
4. Fourth Chakra (Heart)
The heart chakra is the center for spirituality, love, and compassion, and can also be found behind the breastbone, on the spine, and between the shoulder blades in the back. When the heart chakra is balanced, there is greater empathy and compassion inside you, and you tend to feel more considerate and nurturing towards others.
5. Fifth Chakra (Throat)
The throat chakra is the center of communication, sound, and creative expression. It can be located in the V of the collarbone, and can be responsible for your inspiration to express yourself creatively, or can be the reason for your feeling timid, or fearful or expressing your thoughts.
6. Sixth Chakra (Third Eye)
The sixth chakra is located at the center of the forehead, between your physical eyes. It's the center for intuition, light and spirit energy, as well as psychic ability. It's also where one should be able to attune to their higher self and purge any negative energies and tendencies.
7. Seventh Chakra (The Crown)
The seventh chakra, the crown, is located behind the top of the skull. This is the center from which wisdom flows, and can be a source of enlightenment. Any imbalances in this chakra can result in negative and destructive feelings, as well as feelings of frustration and a lack of joy and satisfaction.
Aura Bracelets and Chakra Bracelets
When it comes to managing the flow of life force and energy throughout the body, many believe that the most important thing is attaining spiritual balance. Too fast or too slow can affect our overall health when it comes to our spiritual energies, and blockages can spell the onset of an upcoming sickness.
To help balance out these energies, many procure aura bracelets and chakra bracelets. More than just a fashion accessory, these bracelets can help in restoring your balance. Long ago, our ancient ancestors believed that the healing powers contained within these crystals and gemstones were capable of absorbing the negative energy within our bodies, thereby restoring balance.
