Chakra's and gemstones
For thousands of years, many cultures have believed that
human activity is governed by seven energy centers in the body. These seven
centers are called the chakras and stimulated by associated colors. Crystal
mystics and New Age enthusiasts have assigned certain gemstones to these
chakras based primarily on color. I have seen perhaps a hundred lists of
gemstones associated with chakras. No two are alike. Following is a list of
locations and colors of the chakras. I have listed some appropriate gemstones
as well.
Do you enjoy gems, crystals, and stones?
Then you may enjoy working with chakra stones to support the
health and vibrancy of your chakras. Read on for the gems recommended for each
of the 7 chakras, and a powerful but simple method for using them for healing.
Following are some suggestions for chakra gems for the
individual chakras. These are meant as suggestions, rather than hard-and-fast
rules. You should follow your own inner guidance about what gems are right for
you.

Gemstones have
long been used for healing--of mind, body and spirit. Many energy healers and
other alternative healers today incorporate them into their work.
There are any
number of ways that you could use chakra gemstones--your imagination is your
only limit. But I'll explain one commonly used method here, what might be
called "laying on of stones."
Keep in mind
that the way to make any technique effective is to do it mindfully, with sacred
intention to support the health of your energy system.
You can do a
healing in which you treat each of the seven chakras, or you can just do a
"spot treatment" for a particular chakra that's feeling
"off" if you have less time.
Laying
on of Stones
Select the
chakra stones /gems /crystals that you will be using.
Clear your
stones when you first acquire them, and then before every healing. Ways to
clear a stone include washing it in salt water (sea water or water in which sea
salt has been dissolved); burying it in the earth (point down); exposing it to
moonlight; running it under cool water; or holding it in your closed fist and
"blowing into it" (blow into the small gap where your thumb and index
finger are curled around each other) with the intention to purify it.
Put your chakra
stones in a place where they'll be accessible to you you once you lie down.
Lie down on a
comfortable surface. Attend to your comfort with a blanket and a pillow under
your knees or head if needed. Take a few minutes to breathe deeply and slowly
into your belly (actually into the lower third of your lungs, but your belly
will rise and fall if you're doing it correctly!). Set your intention for this
healing session. If you're just going to work with one chakra, set the specific
intention for that chakra. If you're going to work with all the chakras, set a
general intention for this healing.
If you're only
going to work with one chakra, place the stone over that chakra.
If you're going
to work with the whole chakra system, you can proceed in either of two ways.
You can start at the crown chakra and work your way down, in order, to the
first chakra (sky to earth--e.g. for helping the recipient ground and center,
alleve headaches and anxiety, manifest something on a physical plane); or you
can go the other way, starting at the root chakra and working your way up to
the crown (earth to sky--e.g. for raising the recipient's energy to a higher
vibration, enhancing spiritual development, increasing physical energy). Don't
sweat the direction choice--just go with what feels right.
If you place the
stones top to bottom, have any points on the stones facing toward your feet.
Conversely, if you're placing the stones bottom to top, place any stones with
points so that the points face your head.
Some healers
also like to place a stone/gem/crystal above their head and below their feet.
You may also like to hold a stone in each hand.
If a stone
doesn't feel comfortable or "feels wrong" or keeps rolling off once
you place it, go with that feeling and remove it, either leaving that chakra
without a stone, or using a different one.
As you place
each chakra stone, you may want to set a specific intention for the healing of
that particular chakra, sense the energy of the stone, and visualize its bright
color and harmonious energy "tuning" the chakra.
After all the
stones that you will be using have been set, simply rest for a while, allowing
your chakras to be balanced and cleared by the chakra stones. Breathe slowly
and evenly; empty your mind as much as possible, going into the "space
between thoughts."
When the stones
start to roll off your body, or when it feels right, end the healing. Remove
the stones one by one in order. You can thank them if that feels right.
Gently return
your awareness to the here and now, and allow yourself to transition slowly
back into your daily life. Drink a glass of water, and perhaps eat a piece of
fruit.
You may want to
write in your journal about what you've experienced.
At some point,
re-clear your chakra stones.
Watch for
gentle, positive changes for the next week or so.
How
Does Gemstone Healing Work?
Our
chakras--like any aspect of our selves--are energetic patterns. These patterns
can be disrupted--blocked, skewed, distorted, etc. Restoring harmony and order
to the energy of the chakra will return it to a state of health--i.e., will
heal it.
Anything that
has a harmonious, orderly energy pattern can help to entrain our energy back to
a harmonious state. (Kind of like a tuning fork.)
Crystals and
gemstones have that inherent harmony and order in their energy pattern. Like
anything with harmonious energy, they can be used to heal.
Each type of
stone resonates with a slightly different energy pattern. The energy patterns
of the different stones will relate more closely to the ideal energy pattern of
one of your chakras, and its pure resonance can be used to help that chakra
return to its ideal vibration or energy pattern.
Like any method
of healing, the user's intention is critical. A pure healing intention makes
the healing work.
