Chakras are energy centers in the body; if they're working well we feel good and radiate all kinds of positive energy. The seven major chakras each have a color associated with it. Its thought that wearing stones in the chakra's color can help balance and strengthen the chakra's energy. So if you're feeling timid, try a red Root Chakra necklace or if you're feeling frumpy, try a sexy orange Sacral Chakra necklace.

When Lenny Kravitz visited San Diego during his Electric Church tour, he picked up a blue Throat Chakra necklace with turquoise, aquamarine and blue topaz - stones that are said to help with creativity, vocal expression and improvisation.

I like the idea of wearing jewelry that can help me be a stronger, more open person. Or maybe wearing these stones makes me think about living these qualities. Either way, it feels good.

Chakra stone necklaces come on a 17-inch natural leather cord. $70 each.
