An additional aspect of chakra balancing, adding healing crystals can enrich the experience and provide more tangible connections to each energy center. Different crystals have traditionally been believed to align with specific chakras for optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Authentic chakra bracelets should feel substantial and feature natural textures, rather than being too lightweight and plasticky. Look out for variations in color and pattern to identify genuine gemstones.
Red Jasper
Red Jasper is an alluring gemstone with centuries of history behind it, revered for its soothing properties that promote stability and security.
This companion can serve as the ideal tool for spiritual exploration and emotional healing. The warm hues encourage deeper connections to Mother Earth’s nurturing energy and create a sense of stability during times of transition.
As with other crystals, Red Jasper stones must be regularly cleansed and charged using either water, sound waves, or fire. This process should occur on an ongoing basis to maximize their power.
Hematite
Hematite is an opaque steel-gray to reddish-brown mineral that forms banded iron formations. However, it can also be found in places containing water such as mineral hot springs or lakes; gemstone carvers often use this mineral in cameos, intaglios or carved cabochons for gem carving projects. Hematite conducts electricity weakly while being nonmagnetic (though some treated hematite may exhibit magnetic qualities).
Hematite stands out from other minerals with its distinctive red to red-brown scratch mark that shows up when scratched – an indication that this fiery rock was once home to water on Mars! That explains its use for everything from war paint and mirrors, to showing there once was water there!
Garnet
Garnet has been used since the Bronze Age for jewelry and ornamental objects as well as abrasives. It is used for blast cleaning, polishing, filtration and water jet cutting applications; and is increasingly replacing silica in this capacity due to being safer for workers.
Garnet is the birthstone of January and represents love, devotion and prosperity. It is said to help maintain healthy metabolism while encouraging balanced sexual energy use. Furthermore, garnet may strengthen bone density and aid blood coagulation processes.
Carnelian
Carnelian is an ancient stone with deep symbolic significance and powerful metaphysical properties, known for stimulating creativity and passion while aiding emotional balancing. Additionally, its properties ensure unobstructed energy flow between Sacral and Root Chakras to foster spiritual creativity and sensuality.
As it is thought to bring prosperity, new resources, and good luck – making it a sought-after talisman for success in money making endeavors – it is often sought as an investment talisman.
Carnelian gemstone is used by healers to promote self-esteem and confidence during sessions, as well as protect them from negative energies. Carnelian is widely considered an inspirational gemstone, known for inspiring courage, strength, vigor, and the willpower needed to overcome challenges and confront fears.
Moonstone
Moonstone (hecatolite), named for the Greek goddess Hecate, is a sodium potassium aluminium silicate feldspar gem with an attractive pearly and opalescent sheen that often appears colorless. This characteristic shine is called “adularescence”, created through light diffraction between layers of orthoclase and albite in its crystal structure.
White Moonstone promotes intuitive clarity and emotional balance while increasing feminine energy, and may help facilitate lucid dreaming and psychic protection. Rainbow Moonstone aligns with the Third Eye Chakra and may increase intuition while opening one up to psychic gifts.
Howlite
Howlite is a fascinating crystal that combines captivating beauty with profound spiritual significance. Its pure white appearance with dark veining recalls that of the white buffalo – an animal sacred to Native Americans that symbolized peace and divinity.
Howlite can help to soothe and relax the mind, increasing mental clarity and patience. Additionally, its soothing energy can aid sleep problems by decreasing restlessness and encouraging relaxation.
Like other crystals, Howlite can be recharged by exposing it to sunlight or moonlight and setting positive intentions. You can also cleanse it using water, smudging, or sound healing methods.
Selenite
Selenite’s light-filled energy helps clear away energetic blockages, encouraging free flow of spiritually aligned energy and providing divine clarity. It has also been known to activate higher chakras – especially Crown and Third Eye Chakra – facilitating intuitive insights and deeper connection with angelic realm.
Selenite crystals are known to help clear away negative energies and promote peace in any space, making them an excellent addition to home use. When placed under a full moon’s light overnight, Selenite will absorb its powerful vibrations and recharge your crystal with fresh energy for renewed use.
