Feeling out of sync lately? Your chakras might be the culprit. Heard about crystals but unsure how they work? Different crystals target and restore balance to specific chakras. What you use for your root chakra won't be the same for your heart. Plus, there are various ways to use them. While crystals may help, seeking professional support is crucial.
Steps
Picking Your Crystals
Choose a crystal for your root chakra. Located at the spine's base, it connects you to earth, family, and health. Imbalance leads to confidence issues, loneliness, and more. Opt for red or black crystals like garnet and tourmaline.
Select a crystal for your sacral chakra. Found at the base of your spine, it links to relationships, confidence, and creativity. Imbalance leads to various issues. Opt for orange crystals like carnelian.
Discover a crystal for your solar plexus. Located at your diaphragm, it influences emotions and self-control. Imbalance results in insomnia and other issues. Use yellow crystals such as citrine.
Choose a crystal for your heart chakra. Situated at your heart's location, it's the core of your being. Balance it with green or pink crystals like rose quartz.
Find a crystal for your throat chakra. Located at the base of your throat, it impacts communication. Balance it with light blue crystals like blue lace agate.
Pick a crystal for your third eye/brow chakra. Found above your eyes, it influences thoughts and psychic abilities. Balance it with dark blue crystals like blue tigers eye.
Choose a crystal for your crown chakra. Located atop your head, it links to spirituality and wisdom. Imbalance may lead to various issues. Use white or violet crystals like clear quartz.
Using Crystals for Healing
Cleanse your crystals. Before starting, rinse them under cold water to remove impurities. Keep notes on your feelings before balancing.
- Designate a set of 7 crystals specifically for balancing.
Prepare to balance your chakras. Find a quiet space, lie down, and relax. Breathe deeply to unwind. Consider using relaxing music or nature sounds.
- Visualize inhaling healing light and exhaling stress.
- Your thoughts influence your energy, so keep them positive.
Position the crystal on your chakra. Place the corresponding crystal on each chakra to restore balance. Visualize the crystal's energy spreading.
- Use quartz crystals to enhance the effect.
- Expect temporary worsening of symptoms as negative energy dissipates.
- Crystals can be placed on skin or clothes.
- Begin from the root chakra and progress upwards.
Let the crystals do their work. Crystals function independently. No extra effort is required from you. Leave them in place for five to ten minutes, then assess your feelings. Take note of any changes. If you feel more balanced, remove the crystals. If not, extend their time for another five to ten minutes.
- For persistent issues like chronic pain or long-term depression, multiple sessions may be necessary. Focus on gradual improvements rather than immediate balance.
Retrieve the crystals. After your session, remove each crystal starting from the crown and moving downward. There's no need to deactivate them.
- Drink plenty of water afterward to aid in the balancing process.
Using Crystals on the Go
Sleep with a crystal pouch. Clean your crystals and place them in a designated pouch, then slip it under your pillow at bedtime.
- Prior to sleeping, ask the stones to assist in your balancing while you rest.
Carry your crystals. Keep your crystals close throughout the day. You can carry all seven or focus on specific ones.
- For instance, if relationship issues arise, carry a rose quartz or green fluorite for heart chakra balance.
- Whether for the whole day or specific situations, like presentation anxiety, having garnet (root chakra) and turquoise (throat chakra) in your pocket can boost confidence and communication.
Adorn yourself with crystal jewelry. Invest in a necklace or bracelet crafted from crystals suited for your balance needs. Their energy will permeate as you wear them, whether all day or for specific durations.
- Before wearing, cleanse the jewelry by placing it on a bed of salt.
- Program the jewelry by holding it, focusing on the positive energy you wish to attract.

- Keep crystals near you during sleep and waking hours for enhanced effects.
- Place chakra-corresponding crystals in your pillowcase, under your pillow, or mattress for balanced chakras and potentially vivid or lucid dreams.
