The HealthyLine PEMF Inframat Pro First Edition Chakra Mat is packed with new technology, and its large size of 74 by 28 inches fits perfectly on a reiki table to treat the entire body. The mat is designed to deliver far-infrared heat, negative ion therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and chakra balancing through the utilization of 16 pounds of seven different gemstones, while blocking the electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) commonly found in heating pads and electric blankets.

Far-infrared energy is the invisible form of light commonly received from sunlight, and is vital to human life. The mat’s rays penetrate four to six inches into the body’s tissues and may temporarily decrease pain, inflammation and stiffness while increasing localized blood circulation during use. This penetrating heat is often described as deeply relaxing and nurturing.

Negative ions are natural purifiers that clear our surroundings of harmful agents including harmful airborne particles, which are pulled to the ground. They are naturally found in higher concentrations in forests, near waterfalls and the ocean, and are believed to boost mood and create a greater sense of well-being.

PEMF therapy applies electromagnetic fields to the body to stimulate well-being by clearing electromagnetic smog. HealthyLine PEMF is tuned to match the Earth’s natural 7.83 Hz frequency, which is most compatible with our body’s natural biorhythms and helps us to ground our life force energy. This enhances feelings of balance, the ability to manifest and connectedness to life.

For the crown chakra, amethyst is utilized to clear both physical and emotional issues. It also emits a strong and steady flow of far-infrared and negative ions when heated. Sodalite is incorporated for the third eye chakra, and may have a calming effect on both the mind and body. Blue lace agate is connected to the vibration of the throat chakra, and is thought to amplify meditation. It helps control feelings of distress and may assist with verbal expression of thoughts and feelings.

Green aventurine is included in the chakra mat for the heart chakra and supporting a connection with nature, elevating energy levels and easing stress. For the solar plexus chakra, yellow aventurine aids in enhancing the mind’s ability to focus and strengthen intentions while helping us to feel positively about ourselves.

Carnelian is a deep red gemstone promoting positive life choices and motivation for success. The root chakra may benefit from red jasper, as it is said to have a calming effect on energy flow and supports creativity and recovery. Gemstones have been used for thousands of years for their healing properties, which are speculated to work through vibration.
