How many of you routinely work with your chakras? How many of you know what they are? Chakras are energy vortexes where energy flows through the universe to us. We have seven major chakras that most of you are likely the most familiar with. You will find that these amazing wheels of energy are constantly spinning when they are doing well. If we don’t take care of our bodies and personal well-being, our chakras can wind up slowing down or you may find that in extreme cases they may even be blocked. This can lead to other health issues in your life. It’s very important to keep these centers clear and balanced. When you take the time to do things like cleanse your chakras or work on balancing them you will notice significant positive changes in both physical and emotional well-being. One way we can do this is by working with crystals. Certain crystals have energy that vibrates best to help you clear and maintain your chakras. I have put together a list of crystals for you to work with when you want to maintain your chakras.
Root Chakra: The Root Chakra is located at the base of our spine and is most often associated with the color red. This is such an important chakra as it’s our base. It can help us to stay grounded. This is one chakra that if I find is out of balance can very quickly throw off the other chakras. When this chakra is out of balance it can impact our physical energy and emotional stability. Some crystals that work well on our Root Chakra include Hematite, Black Obsidian, Black Tourmaline, Garnet, Tiger’s Eye, and Smoky Quartz.
Sacral Chakra: You will find your Sacral Chakra located just below our navel. This chakra is most often associated with the color orange. The Sacral Chakra assists us with self-healing, sexuality, creativity, emotional balance, and our intuition. It is helpful to use crystals like the following when working with this chakra: Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Fluorite, Red Jasper, and Turquoise.
Solar Plexus Chakra: The Solar Plexus chakra is located just below your breastbone and above your naval. The color associated with this chakra is yellow. Your Solar Plexus Chakra assists you with your ambition, personal power, and intellect. When working with this chakra you want to choose stones such as Citrine, Yellow Jasper, Herkimer Diamonds, Orange Moonstone, Amber, and Golden Calcite.
Heart Chakra: I bet all of you can guess where your heart chakra is located. That’s right. It’s in the center of your chest. I always think of watermelon with this chakra as the colors associated with your heart chakra are pink and green. This chakra assists us with our love and compassion, it helps keep us emotionally balanced and available. Choose to work with stones like Rose Quartz, Green Aventurine, Malachite, Kunzite, and Jade when working with this chakra.
Throat Chakra: The Throat Chakra is located in our throat just above our collar bone and is associated with the color blue. The throat chakra is our communication center, it helps us with how we express ourselves and communicate with others. Some useful gemstones when working with this chakra include Sodalite, Blue Calcite, Kyanite, Angelite, Blue Lace Agate, Aquamarine, Sapphire, and Blue Turquoise.
Third Eye Chakra: The third eye chakra is located where our third eye is located, slightly above our eyebrows and centered. The color associated with this chakra is Indigo. Our third eye chakra helps us with our psychic gifts, intuition, and spiritual awareness. When working with this chakra you want to choose gemstones like Lapis Lazuli, Azurite, Amethyst, Purple Fluorite, Opal, and Sugilite.
Crown Chakra: Our Crown Chakra is located at the top of our head. The color associated with this chakra is a golden-white light. This chakra helps us with our personal enlightenment and receiving energy from the divine. Some gemstones to use with this chakra include Amethyst, White Calcite, Clear Quartz, Selenite, and White Topaz.
So how do we use them? There are many methods you can use to cleanse your chakras with gemstones, but here is a basic one to get you started. Find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed for a while. You can light candles or play soft music if it helps you to relax. Choose a stone for each of the chakras you wish to work with. Place them over the chakra. Take your time and envision each chakra. Pull the energy front the gemstone through your chakra and visualize it clearing any debris and allowing itself to spin freely. You can place a hand over each stone if you wish as you do it.
