sapphire and the chakras
See each Sapphire colour for its related Chakras. |
The chakras are the body's internal energy centres, and are aligned vertically near the spine. Energy enters the body through the head (heaven) and the base (earth). The seven chakras are vortex points where these forces mingle, with each producing a distinctive energy pattern. The purpose of these chakras is to absorb, transform and distribute the body's internal energy, known by terms such as prana, life force or chi. Specific organs and body parts are associated with each chakra, as well as corresponding behavioural, emotional and personality patterns. It is important to note that the chakras are in constant interplay, and cannot really be separated.
There have two extra chakras discovered recently; the Earth Star Chakra and the Soul Star Chakra, I have included a brief description of these in the page.

sapphire and the seven auric bodies
See each Sapphire colour for its related Auric Bodies. |
Human beings are not just the physical body. You have seven auric bodies. These seven unseen bodies are known as energy bodies, energy layers or auras.
The seven non physical bodies aren't separate from the physical body, they are all interconnected with each other. The health of any of these bodies contributes toward the overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a person.
These energy bodies are affected by all aspects of your lifestyle. The energy that feeds them comes from outside and inside. Everything in your life influences these bodies. The health of these energy bodies depends on the amount and quality of prana or chi flowing through them which is generated in the Kundalini Line and Chakras.
When any one of the auric bodies is not working properly, it affects the other bodies and the physical body, as each body relies on the others to gather and distribute energy.
