How to Use Crystals to Balance Chakras

Crystals vibrate subtle energies, which can be attuned to match your personal vibrations to aid in healing and balancing. Colored crystals and stones are used to stimulate the seven chakras, located from the crown of the head to the base of the spine. The energy of each chakra resonates in crystals. When a chakra is not in harmony, crystals align and stimulate affected chakras.

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Stones and crystals in white, violet, blue, green, pink, red and black
• Chakra guide

1. 

   Place a white crystal under your pillow to stimulate your crown chakra. White stones promote well-being and lift self-esteem. Avoid directly stimulating the crown chakra.

2. 

   Use violet stones, such as amethyst to stimulate the brow chakra. Place a violet crystal on the center of your forehead to increase focus and mental acuity. Lay still and gently rub the stone on the Third Eye area of your forehead for several minutes. Crystal treatment of the brow chakra helps you to see deeply into issues.

3. 

   Relieve ear, nose and throat problems by stimulating the throat chakra with a blue stone. Place lapis lazuli or any blue stone on your throat. This will ease problems with the glands as well as periodontal issues. The throat is the energy center for communication. You also can wear a choker with a blue stone at your throat.

4. 

   Lie down with a green or pink stone on your heart chakra. Jade or rose quartz will ease stress, harsh emotional issues and heart and chest problems. Heart healing brings integration throughout the whole being.

5. 

   Use yellow crystals, such as agate or amber or turquoise with its yellow veins to aid digestion and relieve food allergies. Place a yellow crystal on your solar plexus. Allow yourself to relax and remain at ease and still, allowing the stone's energy to resonate in your power chakra.

6. 

   Place a tiger's eye or carnelian on the lower abdomen to balance emotions and sexuality. Stimulating this chakra with orange stones brings grace and acceptance.

7. 

   Stimulate the base chakra with red or black stones. Garnet, ruby and jet will help improve fertility and release inhibitions. Earthy tones promote courage, prosperity and give a dynamic presence.
