A gentle guide
The seven chakras
Chakras are the seven main energy centres of the body, drawn from yogic tradition. When one is tender or blocked, we feel it — physically and emotionally. Crystals are a soft, beautiful way to bring gentle attention back to it. None of this replaces medical or mental-health care; it's a ritual, an invitation, a quiet pause.
