The state of health of each Chakra directly affects the physical body. Each major Chakra is associated with important organs within the physical body, relating to the body's health and well being.
Healthy Chakras are referred to as "clear" and "balanced". They help us to maintain our sense of harmony and clear direction in life. We are dependent on free-flowing and unblocked energy through our bodies to remain healthy.
When we are stressed, worried, or unhappy, or live in doubt or fear, even a little bit, we can disturb the free flowing energy and the body will eventually carry this burden.
When a Chakra is blocked, clogged or out of balance, it affects our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well being. When the chakras are blocked, you slow down the Chi, the life force and the spiritual connection. Chi, or the Universal energy of Love and Knowledge, flows through the chakras. It is important that you try to maintain the correct energy flow through each chakra since you could also negatively be effected by a chakra being too open. Remember that balance in each, and balance in all in comparison to one another is what you seek. When the chakras are aligned and the energy flows freely from the primal base to the spiritual crown, it allows us a grounded connection to a higher spiritual communication. That is why it is so important to change our thought processes and make shifts in our lifestyle. It is then through the result of these changes that we are healing the Chakras and truly transforming our energy flow and our lives.
Now that we have the understanding that chakras are not energy centers working independently, but rather are reflections of who we are and that we think and feel how do we work with them? Since chakras are energy centers, and energy follows thought, it stands that first we must work with the thoughts, feelings and levels of consciousness with in the chakras. If we don’t do this all-important step, all other work on these centers is for naught, for they will only revert back to the way they were before the other work was done. While working on the thoughts and emotional adjustments needed there are many other things that can and do help us to balance these centers
Meditation on the chakra and it’s corresponding attitudes and feeling is one of the first steps in identifying the areas of disharmony. This would work directly on the attitude effecting the area. There are also their "tools" that we can use that share the same energetic frequency as the chakra centers we’re working with, or that physically activate it. Exercise and message will physically activate the areas, especially if you focus your attention on the result you have in mind. Again, energy follows thought. The use of therapeutic quality pure essential oils may be used in massage or inhalation to effect the areas also. Please do not confuse food grade oils or "fragrance" oils for this purpose. Only high quality essential oils that are pure contain the full spectrum of chemical composition needed to fully achieve the goals here.
Certain other substances may share the energetic frequencies found in chakras. These would include sound, color, stones, stone essences, pure essential oils, botanical essences, and even herbs and other plants. If you think of a piano, it has eight octaves, therefore there will be eight ‘A’ notes, they are all the tonal sound of ‘A’ but at different frequency rates. So it is with the methods of working with the chakras. Many things will help you to work with the chakras, as long as they share the frequency of that chakra. Of course the more different and varied the rate of vibration on that frequency the things you use are, the better the result will be.
Vibrations of Chakras
Each chakra has a different frequency of vibration, symbol, color and sound that it is attuned to. When the chakra is balanced, clear and energized it is in tune and plays the most wonderful sound of it's own, emitting the proper vibration for that chakra. Many things can effect the vibrations including sounds of voice, drums, music, chants, mantras, the vibrational energy of colors and of course, gemstones. All colors and sounds are vibrations and using the sounds and colors of the chakras assist them in becoming aligned and balanced.
Each chakra needs to be able to function at the correct frequency independently. Each needs to be balanced, clear, energized and properly spinning. Each time all the chakras reach a level of unison the entire vibration of the human body is raised.
Use of Stones, Crystals & Minerals
Stones should be carried, or worn for the day, used during a bath, or worn during sleep, or placed on a head board or placed at the chakra center during meditation. Remember to always cleanse your stones that you use in Chakra work.

A WORD OF CAUTION:
A word of caution here. These centers are extremely powerful. Before working in these areas you must fully understand their purpose and the level of consciousness they contain. Care should be taken so as to not over work these areas by moving too quickly as the changes you make will need time to integrate into your way of thinking and feeling. This will allow you and your chakras to respond appropriately to any given situation.
