What is chakra and how does It work ? Crystal healing is the practice of trying to heal physical, emotional and psychological problems by placing precious or semi-precious stones on or near the patient. The standard form of crystal healing associates a colour of the rainbow to each chakra of the body.
Chakras (in Indian thought) are the centers of spiritual power, located in the human body, usually considered to be seven in number. The 7 Chakras are also connected to the seven layers of the aura: the layers includeEtheric, Emotional, Mental, Astral, the Etheric Template, Celestial and Ketheric Template of layers the aura What is aura- (in spiritualism and some forms of alternative medicine) a engery field of a certain color that surrounds the body of a living being and is regarded as an essential part of the individual. Aura colors can reveal information about your thoughts, feelings, health and dreams. Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it's important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.
Aura Basics
1- The etheric body is the first layer of the aura after the physical body and can be seen as a bridge between the physical body and subtle bodies. 2- The emotional body is the second layer of aura, which vibrates the frequency of emotions and feelings and affects emotional balance as a whole. It is connected with the second chakra – sacral. 3- The third layer of aura is called Mental body. It is finer and higher in vibration than the emotional layer. This layer is connected to the vibration level of thoughts and mental processes, ego and personal power. There is a connection with the third chakra (solar plexus). It displays the thoughts and attitudes of the people. 4- The astral body is the fourth layer of the aura and is associated with areas of expression of ethereal, emotional and mental layer. There is a connection with the fourth chakra (heart). It shows your capacity for conditional and unconditional love. 5- Etheric double is the fifth layer of the aura and is associated with aspects of the physical body. There is a connection with the fifth chakra (throat). This layer is a mirror of the ether layer, and further comprising all the forms physical body. 6- Celestial body is the sixth layer of the aura and is associated with enlightenment. There is a connection with the sixth chakra (third eye). It consists of light, also known as visceral level, where we have access to higher intellectual knowledge, wisdom and information available to the collective consciousness. 7- Ketheric Template is the seventh layer of the aura and is associated with the divine and universal consciousness. There is a connection with the seventh chakra (crown). It contains the plan of life or “soul contract“ and reflects all the expertise and experiences that the soul has passed during the current life.
