How to Use Crystals for Chakra Healing

Crystals have been used to amplify certain healing properties for thousands of years. Modern practice of crystal healing can be utilized while balancing chakras. Chakras are energy stores that lie along the center of the body along the spine. Imagine your spine as a river of energy and the chakras as pools that fill from the river. If one is blocked energy cannot flow along the river or fill other pools. Sometimes this will cause a flood of one chakra and the depeltion of another. To maintain good health it is beleived that your chakras must be balanced. Certain crystals can help stimulate balance of chakras if used properly.
