So what are chakras and why are they important?
Chakras are energy centers within the body that correspond to emotions, communication and areas of the physical body. Unblock or balance these chakras with yoga poses, breathing exercises, or meditation. Aligning and clearing the chakras as a regular practice will help you feel balanced and supported throughout your daily activities and interactions with others.
Wearing jewelry with the corresponding chakra gemstones is a great way to amplify the energy center you are looking to clear.
