How to Balance Your Chakras with Crystals

According to ancient sages, there are seven major chakras that run down your spinal column. These chakras monitor the energy that pulses through your body. These chakra points are located at the top of your head, the center of your forehead, your throat, your heart, your upper abdomen, your lower abdomen, and your pelvis. When your chakras are operating correctly, you feel well. Unfortunately, negative emotions, stress, and illness can block your chakra centers, creating lethargy and unhappiness. To prevent this from happening, you need a reliable method to balance your chakras. Fortunately, many people have found that, by using crystals that correspond to the color of the chakras, blockages are removed and amazing boosts of energy occur. Follow these steps, like they do, and you can balance your chakras with crystals.

How to Balance Your Chakras With Crystals

1. Lie down, on your back, on the floor or on a firm mattress.

2. Place a clear quartz crystal at the very top of your forehead, at your hairline. This is where the crown chakra is located, and its color is white or violet, and it rules your spiritual nature.

3. Place a violet or purplish crystal in the center of your forehead, right above your eyes. (An amethyst is a good choice.) This is the “third eye” chakra, its color is indigo, and it rules your intuitive ability.

4. Place a blue crystal on your throat, in that soft, cushiony area right above your collar bone. (An aquamarine works fine here.) This is your throat chakra, its color is blue, and it rules communication.

5. Place a green crystal in the center of your chest. (Green quartz is a great choice). This is your heart chakra, its color is green, and it rules your emotions.

6. Place a yellow crystal on the center of your stomach, about an inch above your navel. (Yellow jade works well here.) This is your “solar plexus” chakra, its color is yellow, and it rules your personal power and drive.

7. Place an orange crystal on the center of your lower abdomen, about two inches below your navel. (A citrine quartz is ideal.) This is your sacral chakra, its color is orange, and it rules your procreative and creative abilities.

8. Place one red crystal on each side of your pelvis. (An amber crystal is a good choice here.) This is your base chakra, its color is red, and it rules your sexual drive.

9. After you are finished placing your crystals in the appropriate areas, close your eyes. Start breathing slowly and deeply. With each inhale, imagine yourself breathing in the colors of each of your crystals. Imagine those colors being absorbed into their specific chakras.

10. Breathe likes this, meditating on each of your crystals/chakras, for 15 minutes

11. Practice balancing your chakras this way at least once a month.
