Guide to basic crystals for chakra cleansing and balance

    There are many ways to heal, cleanse and balance your energy and your chakras. You need to allow the pure light to come in each of your spinning energy wheels, so you can achieve good health, balanced emotions, joy, happiness, awareness. We all suffer from one or another form of imbalance and there are not so many people in absolute state of purity or harmony all the time. We go through different times, hard periods, work stress, over thinking, lack of sleep, negative emotions. One of the worst effects on our aura and chakras have polluted” negative atmosphere, surroundings and emotions spread by others. For this reason we need to practice energy cleansing daily, which we access with meditation.

    There are several ways to open our chakras and allow the light to expand in them. Most of these ways are connected with the basic five senses that people are given from god. With the sense of hearing we can heal and balance our energy using tools like Tibetan bowls, pure crystal bowls, wind chimes, bells, sounds of Theta waves; all these sounds need also concentrated and calm mind and listening for between 20 min and 60 min. We can also heal our chakras with different instruments sounds, but I`ll write about that in a separate article. Another amazing way to open the chakras is with the sense of smell; it is used by aromatherapy to heal and balance mind; Essential oils have unique properties in that respect providing also sense of calmness, curing many illnesses on emotional, spiritual and physical level. Our sense of taste can be used in effective healing the organs and energy by eating fruits, vegetables, drinking combination of juices and drinks; Balancing chakras can be done also with concentration on looking and observing objects- like flowers, trees, nature objects, coloring or drawing mandalas. One of the best possible way is of course physical activities, yoga exercises connected with each chakra.

You can see there are so many amazing ways, all of them include the beautiful nature we already have! One of my personally favorite ways is using crystals. Crystals, minerals and stones (as well as shells, pebbles, sand) contain so powerful energy flow, that anyone who works with them closely will admit that. They are tools connected with the Cosmic universal vibration and energy, awaken with our sense of “touch” and inner sensitivity. They are connected also with the endless divine love of god and angels to us. That`s why they are given as a healing tool and medicine to humans. Even so we are just now awakening to the amazing properties of earth crystals. Many people still think by “scientific way” and approach, that all about healing with crystals is just a fantasy, empty talk or nice fairy tales. If you never experienced that effect, its never too late to do so! Maybe your sense of touch and inner sensation is not so developed in higher levels. That does not mean it doesn’t exist with other humans. So take time, observe and study the crystals, you `ll find the truth, when you search and re-search. I encourage you for that.

   Concerning my personal experiences with crystals and stones I can say I m really into their energy. I have relatively big collection of crystals, some of them natural rocks, another polished in beautiful shapes of balls or eggs. Opposite of the common believe that only the “natural crystals” (means not polished one) possess high vibration, I`ll say, no. All crystals, cut, shaped and polished in forms, have high energy. The clue is in how you connect with them with your own inner light, and how open you are to receive the information inside them. Not all people are highly sensitive, and that’s quite normal. But once you accept, love and connect with one crystal, it will become like your friend, and always there to help you cleanse your energy and heal you. Crystals will love you back.

I turn attention here on chakras and related crystals for energy work. I present in my list most common, well known crystals, you can always add some more, if you want. Make your own favorite list and enjoy healing meditation! * receiving crystals energy can be done by various ways. When you meditate just hold the crystal in your left hand, close your eyes and feel. Another way is to lay down and place crystals on exact points of your body –usually chakra centers. For example for working on opening sacral chakra place carnelian stone little below your stomach, fire agate (or any orange stone) on your heart, and clear quartz on the third eye. These are the basic positions for healing – the chakra that needs work, heart and third eye. You can also hold crystal in your left hand.
