Crystals can be worn or placed on the body to energize or balance the various chakras. They can be found in most crystal & gem shops & must be cleansed in cold water & salt & energized by being palced in the sun or moonlight. Sun activates the male principle & gives strength, fortitude, & resilience. The Moon activates the feminine aspects of receptivity, harmony, & openness. Here are the srystals that are most used for the various chakras:
Root Chakra - Ruby, garnet, bloodstone, hematite, pyrite.
Sacral Chakra - Carnelian, tiger;s eye, agate, quartz, calcite.
Solar Plexus Chakra - Topaz, citrine, yellow diamond, opal.
Heart Chakra - Flourite, emerald, peridot, jade, rose quartz, ruby.
Throat Chakra - Chalcedony, aquamarine, turquiose, jade, chrysocolla.
Brow Chakra - Sapphire, tanzanite, iolite, lapis lazuli, soapstone.
Crown Chakra - Amethyst, alexandrite, fire opal, labradorite.
When healing a specific chakra, the crystals should be worn around the neck, or they are placed over the body, on the chakras, for a quarter of an hour each day. When the healing is complete, it is improtant to remove the crystals & wash them thoroughly, because they will have absorbed the negativity discharged from the chakra.
Crystals can be kept near your bed or at your desk, or worn around your neck on a chain or cord. They may need to be cleansed from time to time by being placed under cold, running water. If you have worn a crystal for a period of time during stress or change, it is advised to give it time to discharge the negativity it has absorbed. You can place your crystals in the freezer for a few days to "chill out".
