Orelia Chakra Necklaces

Namaste...

Today, I’d like to do a review of some beautiful jewellery I purchased during my spring trip to visit my family back in London.  They are these amazing chakra necklaces by Orelia. I’d just like to mention that this is not a sponsored blog post; I am just really chuffed with these necklaces and wanted to share my thoughts! They’re so lovely!

So, I discovered these beauties while I was strolling around Topshop’s Oxford Circus flagship store (waiting for a friend of mine, so we could go eat yummy rotis!) and stumbled across the Orelia concession stand. Some items were on sale, which instantly grabbed my attention (‘cause I love a sale, as any girl does) and then synchronicity so happened that I saw these chakra necklaces. I’ve been working with chakra energies for a couple of years now (I’ll post about the 7 chakras soon), most especially since the beginning of this year when I did my Holistic Reiki courses. I do some Reiki cleansing and healing for my chakras every day, which is so important, and I’ve really been feeling the difference in my physical body as much as on the etheric level. I also do distance Reiki cleansing and healing of the chakras for my loved ones too and they’ve been feeling the positive benefits as well. However, my chakras aren’t always in balance, which is a normal part of life; sometimes they are just barely in harmony and need some good TLC.

As I often work with my lower chakras, as they’ve been out of balance for years before my spiritual awakening, I was so happy to find the Root chakra and Sacral chakra necklaces! I grabbed those instantly and then got so happy with my finds that I decided, on the spot, to just buy one of each chakra so that I could wear it pressed against my skin when I’m meditating or working with specific energies, and healing specific physical and/or emotional disharmonies.  Unfortunately, they didn’t have the Solar Plexus chakra necklace in stock but I ended up purchasing that online, so that worked out fine.

The necklaces are made of brass and then plated with 18 carat gold, which is really great as I enjoy working with the properties and energies of gold; they cost £18 each. They are quite dainty and sit high up around the neck; usually the pendant sits just below the indent of my collar bone. This makes them really great when paired with light, simple, flowing blouses or dresses with a lower round or v-neck. My Anamchara says that they are somewhere in-between a necklace and choker style, which is quite apt. The quality is really great and I’ve worn the Solar Plexus chakra necklace all day for a few consecutive days, through sweat, sun, perfume, and rain – and it hasn’t affected the colour at all!  

If you have any chakra jewellery which you wear, or you’d like to wear more often, or use as part of your spiritual practices, please share your experiences, I’d love to hear from you! What I have done is to use Reiki to cleanse each item before wearing. Then, after cleansing and grounding myself, I’ve held each, one at a time, and concentrated my intentions into the necklace repeating a short chakra mantra three times for each one. I like to focus my energy so that the necklaces will aid me with healing, balancing, and aligning my chakras in harmony. I say the mantra once in my mind, then once aloud softly, and finally once again loudly with lots of gratitude, joy, and love. And, so far, these necklaces have been working REALLY well as part of my spiritual routines.

Every now and then, when I feel their vibrations are a bit sluggish, I just cleanse them again with Reiki energy and place them near my large pieces of clear quartz. I also sometimes place them amongst the crystals with which each chakra is associated. For example, I place my Solar Plexus chakra necklace in my bowl of tumbled citrine; my Root chakra necklace with my red jasper; and my Sacral chakra necklace with my carnelian egg.

The necklaces are truly so pretty and perfect for my bohemian style and life. Orelia is a brand that I will definitely be purchasing from again, especially their 18 carat gold plated pieces. I think these necklaces were really affordable for such good quality and I’m very happy with them. I do however think that the concession staff at Topshop could up their game though; there wasn’t anyone around for a long time and when someone did finally come along it took her ages and a half to get information about their stock when I asked about the Solar Plexus necklace. However, online purchasing was dead easy and arrived just as expected according to the confirmation email. No problems there!

If you’re interested you can head over to http://www.orelia.co.uk/ to see if there’s anything that takes your fancy. They even do free UK and European delivery (excluding Russia) when you spend over £25!
