"My lower back bothers me all the time."
"I wake up in the mornings with a sore throat almost every day."
"I don't know why but my chest has been feeling tight and just achy."
"My headaches have been becoming more frequent lately."
"My husband's stomach has really been bothering him and we can't figure out why."
Of course if any of you are having physical ailments you should see your doctor as this article is not to replace medical attention and I am not certified to diagnose or prescribe remedies. My only intent is to help others see the correspondence between our emotional and spiritual issues and how our physical bodies can react to those issues.
One of my favorite books on chakras and how color affects our lives is by Cristina Carlino the creator of Philosophy, a personal wellness company that is known for wonderful skin care and beauty products that inscribe delightfully and meaningful quotations meant to inspire on their packaging.
Cristina wrote this book after having found some success in her life in many areas but still felt very unfulfilled in others. After a lifetime of looking at colors and seeing her own and others response to them she saw the healing potential they all offer us and shared what she has studied and learned. Here is a brief understanding of the different chakras we all posses and what they relate to as well as just a few of her suggestions of what we can use to help enhance the positive attributes of that chakra into our lives through flowers, aromatherapy and gemstones. I also included which room in your home is attributed to the different chakras as I feel it is a good way to look around you and physically see which areas are being neglected or could be enhanced and used more efficiently to bring those positive attributes into your lives.
