The Chakra System
In Hindu and yoga teachings Chakras have been recognised for thousands of years, although they have only recently been introduced to the West. Chakras are the main energy points of our life force or "subtle body" - sometimes referred to as Spiritual Energy, Prana or Ch'i. The word Chakra comes from the ancient Sanskrit word for "wheel", and Chakras are often perceived by healers as a spinning wheel of energy.
There are seven main Chakras linked to nerve centres along the spinal cord, as well as many minor Chakras throughout the rest of the body. This crystal set deals with the seven main Chakras.
Each of the main Chakras is located more or less in the centre of the body, spiralling out from both front and back. Each Chakra is associated with a colour, a specific area of the body and specific energies. There is also a connection with various organs and endocrine glands. Stones and crystals recommended for specific situations or health problems are often chosen according to their colour relationship to the relevant Chakra. There are different Chakra healing systems which associate different colours with each Chakra. We have chosen to work with one system, but that does not make others wrong.

What was happening for Mezza:
I have a very large piece of Adventurine that we found. I am not giving it to the goverment because it was a gift from the Universe. The Universe knew I needed it and so this is how the universe supports you through all phases of your life's journey! It was awesome to know the innate qualities the univers provided also and I found it related to the heart chakra. I have a very very large heart chakra. I can feel this.
Aventurine
Helps to reinforce decisiveness and amplify leadership qualities. Good for calming anxiety and fears.
Aventurine - Is a member of the quartz family. Aventurine forms when quartz is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, causing it to melt and solidify, usually in large slabs with sparkly inclusions of Hematite or Mica. Aventurine can be found in a range of greens from dark to very pale.
Aventurine is an excellent balancing stone for the heart as it acts without causing any turbulence. Enhances self-esteem. Creates a sense of harmony and balance. Used in Feng Shui to create harmony when there is disharmony between the members of a household.
Chakra Alignment: Heart Birthstone: Aries and Libra

Hi Mezza, fan club here!!
ReplyDeleteit never ceases to amaze me how tuned into REAL LIFE you seem. I guess at times, it must seem overwhelming to you? and yet, such a blessing to have,such a gift..
Have you seen the MARS SATURN conjunction, up there in the western sky, next to Spica? Isn't it beautiful. And the morning moon just below Venus early on the 14th morning? SOOO beautiful!! much better than money, seeing these things.
Until man works out how to buy the stars, or create chakras in a test tube, at least THEY shall be safe from his perversions and meddlings... meanwhile i read alot of this Chakra Information you have put here. it is very useful chakra Information and meanings.. such a good concise thing to put on internet, especially as Mars passes over Saturn, and we renew our personal drive with the tenacity and skill of our accrued knowledge.
A little bit of chakra realignment can go a long way, eh what?? I sometimes feel like life is one long chakra realignment... and reassembling and renewing....and so it goes, into a new saturn Mars cycle, beginning at 24 degrees LIBRA....i guess some massive world chakras are gonna be realigning themselves now...what an adventure!!! cheers and all the blessings of love, taiko
