Aligning your chakras

The following text is from a flyer I picked up at my local yoga studio, Pure Prana, and from more information on the chakras you can click here for the website link.
In the ancient Hindu traditions which gave birth to the tantras, or vehicles of union, we find that light and sound are closely associated. Light is the base of the universe and sound is that which gives it shape, resulting in form. Hence the world comes into being via the Balinese Hindu goddess Tara - Saraswati who plays and sings the world into being using music and the Sanskrit language. She rides upon a white swan named homsa, which is the sound of the breath moving in and out of the body. In this creation myth we have the three upper charkras characterized; brow-sight-light, throat-voice-sound, heart-lungs-breath. It is through the use of visualization, sound, and prana that we can open and energize our chakras. Cleansing and aligning them ourselves in our own time and space. The chart below is designed to assist you in making each of the sounds with the proper chakra visualization:

You can locate gemstones and essential oils which will enhance your healing journey. As you work with the chakras it is important to understand that the goal is to access the relaxed state or union with the eternal, the present moment, the only place in time and space where this union is possible. It is also important to understand that the symbology of the chakras paint the universal essence of every human being on the planet. Opening yourself to the rainbow light of the goddess will bring you to a place of peace, well being, and compassion of all beings. Please have fun and recognize all living beings to have the same rainbow nature.

I love chakra charts and have been studying them for a few years. I would eventually like to compile a comprehensive chart including all of the different ones I've come across over the years.
