Chakra in Sanskrit means wheel and in the context of humans it indicates the energy points through which cosmic energy flows into our physical body. In other words, chakras are wheels of energy. Chi, ki and prana – life force energy flows in and out of the chakras. This concept of chakras has come down from the yogic tradition prevalent in ancient Hinduism and Buddhism, earliest mention of which can be found in the Vedas. So have you ever thought how we are going to balance, if any of the chakras stops functioning? Well there is no need to panic, experts from Universal Exports, supplier of wholesale chakra stones, will not only help with the understanding of the chakras of life but also provide with a solution.

Chakra Colour and Meaning

Each of the chakras are inter-related and inter-twined. So it is of utmost importance that they work in tandem.

Clothes, accessories and even shoes reflect your personality and mood. While a bright, colourful and neatly ironed shirt talks about your happy mood, a somber looking crumbled shirt and non-polished shoe shows your careless side to the world. To display your best side to the world you tend to be careful when choosing your shirt or dress for an occasion. But do you know that the stones on your jewelry also talk tons about personality! Surprised and confused! Don’t worry, gemologists at Alakik‌ ‌Universal‌ ‌Exports‌ ‌, a prominent wholesaler of semi precious stones will help resolve your problem.

Amber

Did you know that amber is not a stone but a fossilized tree resin? Considered valuable since ancient times, Amber is an orange coloured stone linked to the Sun. Amber pieces have been found in graves as long as 2000 years ago! If you have amber on your jewelry, it is said to ease stress and clear your mind of worries and tension.

Amethyst

Amethyst which is a precious gemstone derives its name from ancient Greece meaning ‘against drunkenness’. In ancient times it was believed that amethyst protected one against the adverse effects of alcohol and therefore one could see its presence in cups and goblets. The rich purple colour of the stone also signifies royalty. Experts at Khambhat based Universal Exports suggest you to wear amethyst if you wish to bring peace and balance in your life. It also helps you overcome insomnia.

Garnet

We all love to wear garnet when it comes to semi precious stones. It comes from the Latin word ‘granatium’, meaning pomegranate. Though it comes in various colours except blue, the rich, dark red colour is the most common. Garnets were commonly worn during the Victorian period. If you wear garnet, it shows that you are a person with passion and energy. So if you are a person with high level of confidence, we would recommend you garnet.

Jade

Jade is one of the few stones which is highly valued by the Chinese. It is almost synonymous to gold in China. Jade comes in a variety of green shades but the darker variety is the most commonly used. Since Jade requires skilled craftsmanship, it was valued more by the Chinese nobility. Jade is related to the matters of the heart and so if you are in love, just go for it!

Emerald

Love and value of emerald is ever lasting! Just like Jade, it is also green in colour and a symbol of true love. It is the most powerful talisman and synonymous with productivity and clairvoyance. Universal Exports suggest emerald for those in search of true love and also who wish to become moms as its translucent green colour can improve fertility.
