Things You'll Need:
- Guide to locate the seven chakras
- Crystals in complimentary colors
-
Step 1
Begin at the base "chakra" known as "Muladhara," which is represented by the color red. Tigers Eye and Black Obsidian are the best stones for stimulation pertaining to the physical body and past impressions.
-
Step 2
Head slightly above that to find the second "chakra" called "Swadhistana." This "chakra" benefits from orange stones like the Carnelian, which work on vitality, sex drive and emotional range.
-
Step 3
Moving further up, you'll find the third "chakra" called "Manipura." which is located in the torso. Its color is yellow like the Aventurine stone. Work here includes willpower, perseverance and emotions.
-
Step 4
Locate your heart center and you find the "Anahata" "chakra." It governs surrender, balance, acceptance and faith. Its colors are green and pink like the Rose Quartz.
-
Step 5
Swallow and you'll happen upon the next "chakra," located at your throat. "Vishuddhi," the fifth "chakra," governs communication and expression. Try Blue Lace Agate to stimulate healing here.
-
Step 6
Blink your third eye. Actually, you can't; but if you could, it would be centrally located between your eyes at the top of the nose. This is where the mind rests along with inner vision, intuition and comprehension. Dark blue or indigo crystals like Dumortiertite activate this sixth "chakra," named "Ajna."
-
Step 7
Reach the highest ground at the seventh and final "chakra" known as "Sahasrara." It manifests at the crown of the head representing spiritual intelligence, divinity and enlightenment. Use white or violet crystals like Amethyst to enhance this "chakra."
-
Step 1
Discover more about the use of "chakras" with crystal healing by visiting the "Kacha Stones" Web site (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Know that there is some debate about the exact colors represented by each "chakra." Experiment to see what works best for you.
-
Step 3
Align the corresponding crystals with the "chakras" in your body. Lie down in a quiet place so you can concentrate.
-
Step 4
Consider one of two options: you can press gently into each stone, one at a time, until you feel the desired effects; or, you can simply remain still until you feel the work is complete.
-
Step 5
Flick your fingers as you move between the various crystals when pressing. This ensures that your fingers are not carrying contaminated energy from the previous "chakra."
