CHAKRAS

This is one of my most favorite areas of magickal working.  I love to teach people about their chakras and help them learn how to be balanced.  To use a stone for opening chakras, hold the stone over it's corresponding chakra.  Wearing the stones as necklaces or rings or in pouches in pockets or around the neck also works.
