Chakra stones provide an effective natural way of healing and balancing the energy centers of your body, as well as enriching meditation and yoga practices.

Hematite can help soothe anxiety while carnelian stimulates the sacral chakra to generate creative and sexual energies while dispelling fear.

Choosing the Right Stones

Ideal chakra stones for healing should correspond with the specific chakra you wish to target, but that isn’t strictly necessary; any crystal that holds positive energy could produce similar results.

Crystals that foster love and emotional balance make excellent choices for the heart chakra, while stones which promote communication and self-expression are ideal for the throat chakra. Crown chakra stones restore feelings of divine connection, higher wisdom, and enlightenment.

If your sacral chakra is unbalanced, you may experience emotional instability, dependency and depression – symptoms which may include digestive distress and low immunity. When solar plexus imbalance arises, doormatting behavior becomes easier or control freaking ensues as confidence drops rapidly along with digestive issues and lack of motivation.

Creating a Crystal Grid

Crystal grids and layouts can be powerful tools for harnessing, amplifying and channeling energy for specific intentions such as healing, manifestation, protection or spiritual growth. To create one in your space simply find an area that’s suitable to tuck it away then state your intention (you could even write it down and slip it beneath the grid or center stone) before setting up your grid pattern.

Choose crystals that resonate with the nature and intent of your intention and its specific properties, such as rose quartz or citrine for drawing in love and happiness, while black tourmaline or amethyst would support physical wellbeing. Place the generator stone/focus crystal at the center of your grid grid before adding additional way stones as “waystones”. Afterward, complete by including desire stones which amp up and expand upon the energy behind your intention.

Incorporating Stones into Energy Healing Sessions

All matter has vibratory properties, and crystals are known to interact with our energetic systems in ways that make them ideal for use with energy healing practices like Reiki.

Practitioners using gemstones to balance chakras employ specific gemstones that align and activate each energy center of the body, such as rose quartz for nurturing self-love and emotional healing in the Heart chakra and citrine as a cleansing stone to improve confidence and motivation.

Amethyst can help calm the mind and open up intuition and spiritual awareness through its third eye chakra, while lapis lazuli stimulates and balances throat chakra for clear communication and increased feelings of centeringness. Black tourmaline can provide grounding protection from negative energies while giving its wearer feelings of safety and security.

Cleansing and Charging Your Stones

Cleansing stones regularly and after each use is essential. Crystals act like sponges, absorbing emotional, spiritual, and terrestrial energies from their environments and interactions with people – cleansing clears away these energies to return the stone back to its natural state.

As an easy and effective method for cleansing crystals and stones, try soaking them in earth-filtered water (this works particularly well when cleansing protective stones). Sound can also help cleanse stones; using chimes, bells, tuning forks or singing bowls to clear and purify chakra stones may do the trick.

One way to cleanse stones is burying them in a bowl of brown rice, which is safe for any type of crystal but particularly effective with protective or grounding stones like Black Tourmaline, Fluorite and Black Obsidian.

Storing Your Stones

Your crystal storage methods have an effect on their effectiveness, so it is essential that you find one that protects them from negative energies and physical damage. We recommend keeping crystals in containers made of natural materials like wood or glass – these containers complement their healing energies!

Consider your crystals’ shapes and sizes when choosing storage containers for them. Larger stones should be kept separate from smaller ones to prevent chipping against each other or rubbing together which dulls their shine and disrupts energetic flow.

Organization of crystals is also essential. Doing so will make them easier to access when needed and preserve the energy of each stone, keeping its energy at optimal levels. You can do this by categorizing them according to purpose or intent or by creating drawer dividers for specific types.
