7 Chakras Jewelry Ideas for Energetic Balance
The Chakra System describes vortices of energy that are housed in the subtle body. They affect various aspects of our physiology, state of mind, and our way of being in the world. While we have many active chakras, the yogic teachings talk about seven primary energy centers that are arranged along the spine. These 7 points are associated with colors, energetic qualities, and more. Crystals, stones, and other types of jewelry can impact the energies of the chakras. We selected an array of wearable pieces to help you tap into that energy.

Felicia Tomasko has spent more of her life practicing Yoga and Ayurveda than not. She first became introduced to the teachings through the writings of the Transcendentalists, through meditation, and using asana to cross-train for her practice of cross-country running. Between beginning her commitment to Yoga and Ayurveda and today, she earned degrees in environmental biology and anthropology and nursing, and certifications in the practice and teaching of yoga, yoga therapy, and Ayurveda while working in fields including cognitive neuroscience and plant biochemistry. Her commitment to writing is at least as long as her commitment to yoga. Working on everything related to the written word from newspapers to magazines to websites to books, Felicia has been writing and editing professionally since college. In order to feel like a teenager again, Felicia has pulled out her running shoes for regular interval sessions throughout Southern California. Since the very first issue of LA YOGA, Felicia has been part of the team and the growth and development of the Bliss Network.
