What is a Chakra?

The concept of Chakras come from Eastern spiritual traditions. They are energetic centers of life force, also known as “chi”. There are seven main chakras and they connect the auric layers of your soul to your physical body. Each chakra is connected to specific energy centers of your physical body and have their specific associated colors. “Chakra” is from the Sanskrit word, “wheel” or spinning a wheel.

When your chakra energy is balanced and open, the energy emanating from the chakra is said to move in a spiral direction. When your chakras are closed or blocked, there is little energy being emitted from the chakra center itself. If the chakra energy is overactive, then the energy spin will be very strong, which needs to be corrected and balanced. Crystals, because of their stable energies, can help balance, energize & strengthen blocked chakras.

Chakras and Crystals to Heal Each Chakra

There are 7 main chakras, but there are other minor chakras on and around the body. I have focused on the 7 main ones here, including one under your feet called the Earth Star Chakra.

Crystal Chakra Placement Chart and

a Simple Crystal Healing Guide:

- - The crystals and instructions mentioned below are suggestions. Refer to the crystal list above for alternate crystals to use, or use your intuition if you feel another crystal works best for you. If you’ve purchased a crystal kit, use the crystals you’ve intuitively chosen for each of your chakras.

PRELIMINARY STEPS:

- Important – Before each crystal healing session, cleanse your sacred space and crystals with sage smudge, sage spray or with high frequency sound (from a crystal bowl, Tibetan sound bowl, tuning forks, or other loud pleasing music. YouTube also has a lot of options if you search for it.) Feel free to also cleanse and charge your crystals in the sun or full moon, but be careful for sun charging because it can make your crystals fade.
- Feel free to also choose and play your favorite meditation track during your healing session.
- Lay comfortably on a bed or on the floor with pillows and blankets.

CRYSTAL HEALING PROCESS:

Place each crystal on each chakra after they have been cleansed.
Close your eyes and take 3-5 deep breaths to get yourself relaxed into Theta brainwave state which is best for meditation.
Imagine an spiral energy cord extending from your tailbone going down and connecting with the Earth.
Then imagine white light entering your crown chakra and moving down while lighting up each chakra with the appropriate color noted in the chart below.
Internally state the appropriate affirmations noted in the chart for each chakra while you focus on each one receiving healing energy from your envisioned light and the energy of the crystal. You can also do om chanting, hand mudras or whatever modalities you enjoy to assist with your healing.
Lay with the crystals for about 20-30 minutes. Should you feel any uncomfortable sensations, you may remove the crystal. Tingling sensations, heat, cooling feelings and energy rushes through your body’s meridians or on your hands/feet/chakra areas are normal.
Try to keep your mind clear and focused on healing with positive thoughts.
When you feel you are done, remove each chakra crystal and lay with the hematite at your feet until you feel you are ready to get up. Feel free to get a drink of water or gem elixir water.
Afterwards, cleanse your crystals after each session to release any unwanted energies that may have been picked up or absorbed during your session. I recommend cleansing the crystals with the same method you used at the beginning.
Then feel free to return your crystals back into their pouch or crystal kit compartments, where they’ll be ready to assist you during your next healing session!

Chakra Crystal Bracelet Guide

If you’ve purchased the Crystal Rock Star chakra crystal set that includes crystal bracelets, refer to this guide on which crystals to wear to heal specific chakras. (*Note – some bracelets not listed below in the graphic as new inventory has been added. Refer to the crystal picks you chose during your order for each chakra.)

Determine what chakras and energies you want to receive or project in your life. Look at the image charts above and below on this page see what energies you want to enhance.

Receiving Energies

If you want to receive and boost qualities in your life, wear the crystal bracelet related to that chakra on the wrist of your receiving hand. This is the opposite of the hand you write with.

Example: I am right-handed and I want to receive more abundance in my life, I would wear an abundance receiving energy bracelet like citrine, aventurine or peridot on my left wrist.

Projecting Energies

If you want to project certain qualities out towards the world in your daily actions and interactions with others, wear the appropriate crystal bracelet related to that chakra on the wrist of your dominant hand. This is the hand that you write with.

Example: If I want to exude confident communication in an interview, meeting or wherever I would need to confidently speak with others, I would wear a blue colored or throat chakra bracelet, like labradorite or sodalite. To add the extra boost of confidence and fearlessness, I would add citrine and/or garnet as well.

Crystal Chakra Healing Bracelet Tip:

If you’re on the go, at the beach or laying out at the park and decide you want to zen out with a crystal healing session… AND you only have your crystal chip bracelets available on your wrists… an easy way to do a healing session is to take each bracelet and place each one above each chakra! Perform some of the steps noted above with the crystal healing guide list and enjoy the healing!
