CHAKRA BALANCING WITH CRYSTALS

[Mystic Wolf]

CHAKRA BALANCING WITH CRYSTALS and suggested layouts

Crystals are wonderful for chakra balancing; their Vibrational energy is ideal for harmonizing the energy body. When placed on a chakra, depending on its particular property, a crystal can help to balance, cleanse blocked chakras, to open and activate closed Chakras, or calm an overactive chakra.

The easiest way to use crystals with chakras is to follow the chakra color system.
Each energy center vibrates at a particular frequency associated with a color, increasing as you ascend from root to crown.

It is lovely to lay down with crystals on your body while meditating, or just experiencing the energy of the stones and working with them. Crystal Placements can be used alongside any form of relaxation, meditation, or healing and will greatly enhance the experience!

Tumbled stones are ideal for body placement, but you can use any shape or size as long as you are comfortable. Remember, the size of the stone does not determine its power.
Place stone on the chakra for 5 - 15 minutes, longer if needed.

As you become more familiar with your own chakras and develop an awareness of their own unique state, you may wish to refine your chakra layouts to bring balance to your energy centers. You may find some chakras feel less active than others, or feel completely closed or blocked.

You could use crystals and stones with clearing, activating, and energizing properties on these centers.

Some chakras may feel uncomfortable, buzzing, overactive, or too open; on these you could use gentler, calming, and grounding stones. They will also be able to work on the back chakras, pretty impossible to do on your own!

But you can go some way to developing your own awareness of your chakras, with practice. Some of the meditations on this forum can help you begin to do this, and in time you will begin trusting the way a chakra feels to you and exploring your own energy body.

Here are some suggested stones and crystals to select from for placement.
Use stimulating and energizing stones on blocked or closed / underactive Chakras and calming grounding stones on overactive/too open chakras.

Earth and Root chakra
Black tourmaline, Hematite, obsidian, onyx are all powerfully grounding stones for the root chakra. Mahogany obsidian is a gentler grounding stone.
Ruby, ruby aura quartz, and garnet are stimulating and energizing for the Root chakra.
Bloodstone can stimulate energy.
Red and brown jasper are gentler grounding stones for the root chakra.
Smoky quartz gently opens and grounds the chakra and brings the energy down from Crown to root.

Sacral chakra
Orange carnelian, sunstone, and golden topaz energizing and stimulating.
Garnet can also be used on this chakra for stimulating energy.
