Introduce chakra stones and crystals into your daily routine as a powerful way to align, balance, and harmonize your energy centers. Each stone has a specific frequency that resonates with each chakra to clear away blockages and bring healthiness and wellness to all aspects of your being – mind, body and spirit alike!

Chakras

Chakras are believed to be spinning wheels of energy that represent physical and mental wellbeing, playing an essential role in yoga, Hindu spirituality and Western “new age” beliefs. Additionally, chakras play an integral part in ancient healing practices such as acupuncture.

Balanced chakras allow energy to flow more easily throughout your body, leading to improved physical health and emotional well-being. Balanced chakras can make life more creative, joyful and open as well as increasing spiritual awareness and self-realization. You can use crystals, colors, yoga poses, red jasper and black tourmaline as tools for chakra balancing; red jasper can beautifully align the root chakra while black tourmaline offers protection from negative energy while simultaneously aiding solar plexus chakra balance by making one feel confident and grounded.

Crystal grids

Crystal grids combine the metaphysical properties of crystals with sacred geometry to enhance and focus our intentions. Each crystal has a different vibrational frequency that interacts with our own energy field; when placed together in a geometric pattern they harmonize and create an amplified field of intention that supports healing, manifestation or protection.

Be specific in your intention when setting your crystals aside; writing or visualizing it could help. Once your intention is set, select your chosen crystals based on colour and shape as well as any association they might have to your intention (for instance rose quartz is often associated with love).

Next, arrange the crystals in an orderly and balanced pattern. Additionally, add other objects of significance like written intentions, photos or leaves/flowers for additional impact.

Energy healing sessions

Energy healing is an ancient practice using techniques such as Reiki and chakra cleansing to realign and balance one’s energy centers. Each modality will vary, but typically recipients lay fully clothed as they relax while their practitioner holds their hands over various energy points on or near their bodies.

Carnelian is an excellent healing stone for the sacral chakra, stimulating passion and creativity while amber can promote feelings of grounding, stability and self-confidence. Tiger’s Eye can promote personal power, courage and motivation – making it perfect for use at solar plexus level as well as personal power chakra. Some energy healing practitioners also incorporate sound therapy with instruments like crystal singing bowls or koshi chimes for sound therapy to amplify effects and help create deeper levels of relaxation that further augment treatment benefits.

Care

Regular cleansing and balancing of chakras to keep them aligned is essential in order to stay in balance, whether with crystals and stones or sound healing tools like singing bowls that play one note over your body’s chakra points.

The root chakra, located at your tailbone area and associated with red, governs how you connect to money, food, grounding and sense of stability in life. Meanwhile, sacral chakra with orange governs creativity sexuality connection to world around us while heart chakra associated with green promotes compassion love emotional wellbeing and heart health.

Storage

Store your chakra healing crystals separately when not in use to prevent damage and energetic interference between them. You could even organize them according to color energy or crystal family for easy retrieval when necessary.

Sacral chakra stones help energize creative and sexual energy, relieve overactive reproductive urges and promote essential energy flow. Solar plexus stones may balance emotions, increase motivation and self-confidence as well as foster courage; throat chakra stones like Lapis Lazuli can promote eloquence, communication, thyroid health as well as foster courage while heart chakra crystals such as Rose Quartz can comfort feelings of loneliness while adding warmth to relationships.
