Chakra stones can help bring about profound transformation to your energy, whether worn as jewelry, used to form crystal grids or placed directly onto your body during meditation and healing sessions. However, for optimal use they should be regularly cleansed to rid themselves of any negative energies they might have absorbed.

Choosing the Right Stones

Chakra stones offer an effective yet effortless method for balancing energy and improving holistic health. Each stone resonates with a chakra, and when placed correctly will foster physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

As a starting point, conduct research on each crystal’s energetic properties. Once you understand each gemstone better, trust your intuition to guide you towards choosing your ideal stones.

Sodalite, a clarifying crystal associated with the Throat Chakra, supports logic, communication and truth-seeking; while Moldavite – a transformative crystal tied to the Third Eye Chakra – accelerates psychic development and spiritual awareness.

Once you have selected and cleansed your crystals, charge and cleanse them to maximize their vibrational potential. Smudging with sage is often used for this, while charging can be accomplished by leaving stones out in direct sunlight or moonlight for at least 24 hours. Once your stones have been prepped and charged properly, use them to create your 7 Chakra Crystal Tree by setting an intention for its purpose or use them individually as jewelry or in crystal energy grids or altars.

Activating the Chakras

Chakra stones can help balance seven energy centers on your body or be worn as jewelry. In addition, they can also be added to crystal healing grids or altars for additional benefits.

Once your chakras are open, life force energy flows freely throughout your entire body and can help you become more focused, make healthier decisions, and feel connected to Spirit.

As you use chakra stones, remember they will pick up energy from their environment and it is necessary to cleanse them regularly. You can do this by soaking them in water for some time or by smudging with sage or palo santo or by burying them for at least 24 hours in soil.

Make chakra stone healing part of your daily self-care and wellness practices to improve spiritual health and well-being over time. Always choose crystals and stones that speak to your intuition, holding healing energies that resonate with you.

Wearing Crystal Jewelry

Crystals and gemstones have long been used as tools to balance our chakras and bring peace, calmness and empowerment. When worn as jewelry they may channel powerful vibrations to heal, balance and empower.

Modern jewellery brands now incorporate crystals and chakra stones into their designs, with some even offering dedicated chakra stones as necklaces, earrings, bracelets or rings depending on your chakra goals and intention. These talismans may be worn around necks, ears or wrists depending on their purpose and can even be worn as bracelets or rings to symbolize that specific intention.

For instance, when clearing your Heart Chakra it can help to select stones like Green Aventurine that evoke the energy of Spring to encourage healing, love and new growth. You could also wear necklaces containing positive words like ‘calm’ to bring more of this energy into daily life.

TBalance Crystals, founded by holistic coach Tori Boughey and featuring letters that spell out affirmations such as ‘breathe” and “focus”, is a crystal healing jewellery brand designed by holistic coach Tori Boughey that utilizes letters in its design to spell out positive affirmations like “breathe” and “focus”, helping you stay on track throughout your day. Their soothing bracelets also include green Aventurine gemstones for the Heart Chakra to help bring more balance and connection.

Storing Your Stones

Once your chakra stones have been cleansed and charged, it is best to store them in an undisturbed space such as cotton drawstring pouch or small sack for safekeeping. Plastic or mesh sacks may collect dust that affects their energy.

Raw crystals should also be kept separate from tumbled and polished gemstones as their rough surfaces may scratch or chip smoother stones. You can further increase the healing effects of chakra stones by placing them in a crystal grid to correspond with each chakra you are working on, be it your bedroom, living area, or during energetic healing sessions like Reiki, massage therapy or massage with energy healing sessions. Another lesser-known yet highly effective use for them involves infusing water with their vibrational energy.
