The following is a suggested use of crystals for balancing the chakra’s. Always be sure that your choice feels good to you. These are guidelines only. If you are drawn to use a different stone color, by all means do so. There are times when you will be led to choose a variety of clear quartz crystals. That is also good, as it creates a grid of energy and balance surrounding the general body and chakras. A part of all natural healing is to learn to listen to our bodies and intuition.
To begin, choose a red stone to put near the base of the spine or, alternatively, use two red stones of the same sort and rest one near the top of each leg. This deals with the base or root chakra. The next chakra in ascending order is the sacral chakra. Choose an orange colored stone to place on the lower abdomen near or at the navel region. At the solar plexus chakra use a yellow stone, placed between the navel and the ribcage. Follow the lowest rib around to the front of your torso. There is a hollow place at the base of your breastbone. That is your solar plexus. The heart chakra is in the center of the chest and may be balanced with a green stone. Placing a pink stone at the heart chakra may be added for emotional clearing. For the throat chakra use a light blue or turquoise colored stone . Place it at the base of the throat, at the top of the breastbone. An indigo or dark blue stone is normally used to balance the brow chakra located in the center of the forehead. Amethyst or another purple stone may also be used here. The stone for the crown chakra rests just above the top of the head. If you have chosen an amethyst for the brow, use a clear quartz at the crown. If you used a dark blue stone at the brow you can use violet stone at the crown. Again, use whichever stone feels best to you. Cleaning Your Stones
New stones need to be cleansed before you use them. Cleansing crystals removes unwanted energy and restores them to their original clarity. Always remember to clear and clean your stones after each use. Not doing this may lead to passing on imbalances or unwanted energies as well as the stones becoming less effective. Hold the stones under cold water for a minute and then place in the sun to dry. Use incense or a smudge stick, holding the crystal within the smoke. Herbs such as sage, cedar, sandalwood and frankincense are good to use. Placing smaller stones on a crystal cluster will clean them; leave them for 24 hours. A bell, gong or tuning fork can be used for a vibration of pure sound to energetically clean a stone. Using dry sea salt in a small container, bury the crystal for 24 hours. Don’t use salt water as this may damage softer stones. Certain fragile crystals need to be cleaned gently; you might check where you purchased from. Most dealers are very knowledgeable and helpful.
