Would you not be wondered if you got to know that a particular type of medieval-period jewelry from the orient is probably more popular across the globe and worn more frequently today? Well, that is how the Chakra jewelry, originating in India in the Middle Ages, has been having a resurgence worldwide.

The Basics of Chakra Jewellery

In the Sanskrit language, the wordchakra denotes the concept of the wheel of energy. Ancient Indian mystics conceptualized these chakras as the seven spinning disks, along the spine of a human, that has a direct connection with the human’s emotional and physical health. 

These are the chakras that regulate the flow of energy inside a human body. And, external vibes, both positive and negative, have their influence on these chakras. Consistently torn between the positive and the negative, these chakras often lose their balance. In such a situation, come seven gemstones of seven different colors that can bring back the balance in the wheels of energy. These seven gemstones are what the entire gamut ofchakrajewelry comprises.
