Chakras are the circular vortexes of energy that are placed in seven different points on the
spinal column, and all the seven chakras are connected to the various organs and glands
within the body. These chakras are responsible for disturbing the life energy, which is also
known as Qi or Praana.
Whenever a chakra is disrupted or blocked, the life energy also gets blocked, leading to
the onset of mental and health ailments. When the harmonious balance of the seven
chakras is disrupted or damaged, it can cause several problems in our lives, including our
physical health, emotional health and our mental state of mind. Our 7 chakra bracelets
represent these:
