Chakra Balancing, Chakra Crystals
Why Balance the Chakras?
The body's seven chakras run from the spine's base to the crown of the head, each vital to our overall health, impacting our physical, mental, and emotional states. For energy to flow smoothly, all chakras must be balanced. An imbalance in any chakra can affect your entire system, potentially causing anxiety, fatigue, or even impacting your creativity and happiness. Crystal healing is seen as an effective way to unblock these chakras, promoting harmony and well-being.
1. Select the appropriate Crystal for each Chakra.
Each chakra has its own color. For example, the root chakra pairs with red while the throat chakra matches blue. Choosing crystals by color can directly address and benefit chakra imbalances, making crystal healing more efficient. The image shows crystals on a selenite log next to a quartz point to charge them when not in use.
Explore the colors linked to the seven chakras and our top crystal choices for balancing each one:
Root Chakra (Red) – Red Jasper or Hematite
Sacral Chakra (Orange) – Carnelian or Tiger's eye
Solar Plexus Chakra (Yellow) – Citrine
Heart Chakra (Green/Pink) – Green Aventurine or Rose Quartz
Throat Chakra (Light Blue) – Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite
Third Eye Chakra (Indigo Blue/Purple) – Amethyst
Crown Chakra (White/Violet) – Clear Quartz
2. Crystals can help purify chakras during meditation.
Using crystals during meditation can balance your chakras effectively. Lie down, place a crystal on each of the seven chakras starting from the bottom up. Unsure about which crystals to choose? Check back on our recommended gemstones. Hold a 15-minute breathing meditation with the stones in place, imagining the cleansing of every chakra with each exhale. Finish by taking the crystals off, starting from the top. If a crystal falls during the session, it's okay; it'll still work if it's near the corresponding chakra.
3. Wear Chakra Crystals Throughout the Day.
Carrying crystals is a simple yet effective way to help balance your chakras. Consider wearing a bracelet featuring seven chakra stones or keeping a pouch of these stones in your pocket. The crystals close to you can support energy healing and keep your chakras aligned throughout the day.
4. Combine Crystal Therapy and Sound Healing.
Sound boosts chakra healing, with singing bowls being perfect for focusing on individual chakras without musical distractions. Each of the seven chakras connects to a unique note in the major scale. Choose the right pitch to target and balance the specific chakra you're working on.
- Crown Chakra – B
- Third Eye Chakra – A
- Throat Chakra – G
- Heart Chakra – F
- Solar Plexus Chakra – E
- Sacral Chakra – D
- Root Chakra – C
No singing bowl? No problem. YouTube has a vast collection of videos where you can listen to singing bowls playing specific notes for as long as you like.
5. Understand What Balanced Chakras Feel Like.
Knowing the balance of your chakras can transform the way you feel. Here’s how you feel when they're aligned:
Root – You feel grounded, safe, and deeply connected to nature.
Sacral – You embrace creativity, confidence, and joy.
Solar Plexus – You experience high self-esteem and boundless energy.
Heart – You become empathetic, loving, with a sense of peace within.
Throat – You listen well and communicate your true feelings effortlessly.
Third Eye – Your intuition sharpens, giving you clarity about your life's direction.
Crown – You feel a deep connection with your higher self and the universe, understanding your true purpose.
Use this as a guide to target crystal healing exactly where you need it. Feeling anxious or disconnected could mean your root chakra is off balance. Trouble listening or speaking up? Your throat chakra might need some care.
