Crystal Healing and the Chakras

Learning about crystal healing and the chakras is easy and simple. As a general rule the color of the crystals used in healing are normally similar to that of the chakra. For example, the darker color crystals such as Red, Brown and Black are used on the lower chakras. This is because the lower chakras are slower than the higher chakras; therefore, you need to use crystals that are in tune with the energy frequency of those areas. Some crystals have a fast vibration. A fast vibration in healing the chakras is a Quartz crystal, other crystals are slower and denser for example a Jasper crystal is slower and denser. The slower and denser crystals should only be used on the lower chakras. If you were to place a dense and heavy frequency crystal on a high frequency chakra such as the third eye or crown it would make you feel quite uncomfortable.

By using the correct crystals and the chakras you bring each energy centre around the body into a state of balance. If your chakra becomes overactive, you need a crystal that would help to calm this down. For example; if you had a sore throat the crystal to use would be Blue Lace or Agate as both these crystals help to ease the throat area. However, if the problem is with communication in the throat area, you would need a faster more energetic crystal such as Sodalite; this crystal encourages and activates the throat rather than bring calm to area.

Here are some examples you can use to learn crystal healing through the chakras, we will work with the seven chakras.

Chakra one is the base or root chakra, this is a lower chakra. The main color in this area is Red however; other colors such as Brown and Black can also be used. The healing power of the crystals include Bloodstone, Red Jasper and Obsidian.

Chakra two is the sacral or spleen chakra, this is a lower chakra. The main color in this area is Orange. The healing crystals in this area include Carnelian, Gold Topaz and Amber.

Chakra three is the solar plexus chakra; this is also a lower chakra. The main color in this area is Yellow. The healing crystals in this area include Gold Tiger Eye, Citrine and Gold Calcite.

Chakra four is the heart chakra, this is a higher chakra. The main color here is Green. The power of the crystals in this area includes Jade, Emerald and Rose.

Chakra five is the throat chakra this is also a higher chakra. The main color here is Blue. The crystals used in healing include Sodalite, Kyanite and Turquoise.

Chakra Six is the third eye chakra, another higher chakra. The main color here is Indigo or Purple. The best healing crystals include Sapphire, Lapis Lazuli and Azurite.

Chakra Seven is the crown chakra, the last higher chakra. The main color here is Violet or White. The crystals used for healing include Clear Quartz, Amethyst and Purple.

The chakras are spinning wheels of energy located in the body and go from the crown to the base. There are seven main chakras as shown above, however there are minor chakras which exist in the body including the palm of the hands. When you start to learn about crystal healing you can start to work on healing the chakra areas

From the list above you will notice that each area has more than one crystal and these crystals can be used in different areas, for example Amethyst is a good choice for the crown chakra because of its violet color, however, the same crystal can be placed on the third eye.

To learn crystal healing is a very rewarding way of helping others to change there way of life from negative to positive, it also helps you gain a perfect healthier life style.
