Chakras are the seven power points of life force in the body.
Chakra means wheel of light in Sanskrit. The Chakras are the seven power points in the human body that circulate energy or the life force also known as prana. They are vertically aligned in the center of the body close to the spine. If the Chakra are unbalanced - not properly aligned or blocked - it can affect physical and mental health. The spiritual development is also connected with the good health of the Chakra.
Aura colors surrounding the body
The aura, which is an electromagnetic field that surrounds the body, can indicate the body health, mental health and spiritual health of an individual. Clear and bright colors indicate good health. Muddy and dark colors indicate an unhealthy or negative state.
The idea of the aura surrounding the body is common in most spiritual traditions. It is a recurrent theme in religious art of the early Greeks and Romans, along with Buddhists and Christians, all show a halo also called a nimbus or aureole.

Chakra balancing
One effective method used to balance or unblock the energy flows of the 7 chakras is gemstones and crystals. By using colored gemstones that relate to the color of each chakra, one can combine thought with the energy of the gemstone to balance energies in the area that is blocked. This can be done with loose stones or by using a seven stone chakra wand to direct the stone's energy to the desired chakra.
