There are various ways chakra stones can help heal. Some individuals prefer simply placing crystals throughout their home or desk space.

Others find chakra stones convenient for pocket carry or meditation purposes; cleansing and activating them beforehand ensures their maximum potential is realized.

Red Jasper

Red Jasper is an ancient symbol that represents grounding energy that connects individuals to our planet’s life-affirming energies. Revered for centuries as an emblem of resilience and vitality, its vibrant hues recall images of Earth’s fiery core.

Red Jasper is an ancient gem renowned for stimulating the root chakra and inspiring individuals to face fears head on with courage and grace. A favorite stone among those embarking on new journeys, Red Jasper equips its bearer to face whatever awaits with poise and optimism.

Spiritually, chalcedony gemstones encourage deeper self-connection by helping individuals to release destructive patterns and heal feelings of guilt or shame. Furthermore, chalcedony crystals boost circulation and oxygenation for an overall sense of wellbeing and vitality.

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a beautiful blue-hued rock often used to craft beads and cabochons, as well as exquisite carvings. Over its history, Lapis lazuli has also been used to fashion bowls, vases, boxes, dagger handles and hair combs, small statues and game boards – not forgetting its rich hue from minerals such as lazurite and calcite which contribute its hue – it may contain trace amounts of pyrite; the less pyrite inclusions there are the higher its quality will be.

Lapis lazuli is associated with the Third Eye Chakra and can help increase wisdom and inner perception, encouraging self-awareness and inner truth, as well as honesty, empathy, morality and creativity. Additionally, lapis is believed to reduce pain and promote physical stability; ancient Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Persians wore lapis jewelry; today its primary sources can be found in northeast Afghanistan, Pakistan Siberia as well as Chilean mines west of Lake Baikal.

Red Carnelian

Carnelian’s vibrant hues radiate powerful properties that promote wellness on multiple fronts. Its energetic vibrations help build physical strength and stamina, increase sexual drive, boost libido, and aid detoxification processes. Furthermore, this stone can foster motivation and ambition by inspiring individuals to pursue their goals with perseverance.

Crystalline connects energetically to the Sacral Chakra and promotes creativity, sensuality, and self-expression. Its warm empowering energy dispels creative blockages while encouraging emotional freedom. Crystalline can also serve as an invaluable ally in manifesting and goal setting practices when used alongside supportive crystals such as abundance citrine or rose quartz.

To maximize its beneficial effects, carnelian should be regularly cleansed and recharged to achieve maximum effect. Rinsing it under cool water or passing through smoke from herbs such as sage or palo santo will remove any accumulated energies while placing it in direct sunlight or moonlight can rejuvenate its energy stores. Carnelian can also be effectively utilized within crystal grids; serving as the activator stone and surrounding it with stones that support desired manifestation.

Turquoise

Turquoise has long been prized in various cultures, from ancient Egypt to Native American tribes of the Southwest United States. This gemstone’s distinctive blue hues and brown or black flecks known as matrix are prized; one with heavy matrix tends to hold less value.

Navajo and Zuni tribes of the Southwest often used turquoise beads in heishi necklaces to connect heaven and earth; rings made out of it were also created. According to these tribes, turquoise linked individuals directly with both heaven and earth.

Nearly all turquoise sold on the market is treated to improve its color and durability, although genuine, fine-grained turquoise that takes to polishing well and has uniform hues is rare. Even top-grade turquoise may receive paraffin wax surface coatings, oil infusions and resin binder to stabilize small, porous pieces into larger, more durable mosaics. Gemologists can detect such treatments through destructive hot-point or dye tests but these should only ever be performed as a last resort.
