The Twelve Chakras

Everything thing we have on earth has been placed here for a purpose. The plant, animal and mineral kingdoms are here for our benefit. The mineral kingdom, with its beautiful crystals, benefit our lives with their wonderful energetic vibrations. Their vibrations interact with our energetic field, bringing healing and wellness into our lives.
We may choose crystals according to our zodiac sign, according to the chakra fields they benefit, or simply by responding to our intuition, which helps us connect with the right ones for that specific time in our lives.
Besides having individual properties, gemstones may also be grouped according to colours and the chakra points they represent. Therefore, we shall first have a look at our Chakra System, before looking at each individual gemstone.     
The Chakra System
What Is A Chakra- Chakras are ‘energy centres’ within the human body that help to regulate all its processes on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. All the chakras are interconnected and a natural energy flow travels between them.
Importance of Keeping Our Chakras Clear- Blockages in our chakras occur commonly due to stress, bad diet, trauma and so forth. These blockages disturb our body’s natural energy flow, which can then lead to physical, emotional and spiritual disturbances.
If the blockages in our chakras are not treated, they will eventually manifest themselves into physical illnesses, and more serious emotional and spiritual issues.
How to Keep Our Chakras Clear- There are various methods that can be used to restore our chakras natural energy flow, which include but is not limited to: Reiki, Meditation, Acupuncture, Kinesiology, Aromatherapy. Diet, exercise and a positive mindset also promote a healthy energy flow between our chakras. Gemstones and crystals have unique energies that can also enhance and empower certain chakra points on our body.
How Many Chakras Are There- There are 114 Chakra points in the body, and they are located in various parts throughout the body, such as, the foot, hand, knee, elbow, groin, clavicle, navel, shoulder, ear, hips, tights, knees, calves, ankles, among others.
However, the most important ones belong to The 7 Chakra System. These points begin at the base or spine of the body and travel up to the top of our head. They are: The Base or Root Chakra, The Sacral Chakra, The Solar Plexus Chakra, The Heart Chakra, The Throat Chakra, The Third Eye Chakra, & The Crown Chakra.
Keeping these 7 Chakras aligned and opened assist in keeping our physical body and mind in harmony and at easy, thus helping us to avoid disease.
There is also The 12 Chakra System, which is composed of 5 Extra Chakras, located above the Crown Charka, the 7 Main Chakra Points, and the Earth Star Chakra (0 Chakra) located below the root chakra and the surface of the earth. This system is called The 12 Chakra System. In reality, there are 13 points in the 12 Chakra System, only the Earth Star Chakra is numbered as ‘0’.
Keeping the Chakra points above the Crown Chakra aligned and opened will help us to access knowledge and abilities from our previous life times, and also access other more mystical experiences. 
The 12 Chakra System is only recently coming to humanity’s awareness. Access to these additional chakra points used to be the dominion of the Great Masters, but as our planet is entering into a phase of greater spiritual evolution, it is now becoming available to all of us.
The main purpose of these extended chakras is to tune us into the galactic community, breaking through from the confines of time and space, and starting to operate into other dimensions and realities.
