Chakra properties

#Chakra comes from the word cakram and that's Sanskrit for wheel or circle. The chakras refer to the rotating funnel-shaped centers of life energy (also called prana or chi) in the human body. Seven main centers can be distinguished, localized from the bottom of the spine to the crown. Each chakra is associated with a certain color, smell and with a number of physical and psychological functions. Chakras that are blocked or out of balance can lead to a whole range of complaints. Below you will find a list of chakra properties along with their associations to elemental forces such as crystals and fragrances. The latter can be useful in meditations or in chakra healing and magical rituals.
