Crystal Chakra Connection

Have you ever walked into a room and felt an instant sense of calm and happiness? The world is made up of energy, and we are naturally attracted to those that vibe best with our character. If you walk into a room and sense joy, it’s because the energy in the room has already effected you. Friends and family may be laughing, smiling and having a good time. While the world is made up of energy, there are seven spinning wheels of energy inside you. In order to keep these chakras balanced, it’s important to work on them with meditation and yoga. Crystals can even connect to these energy points as you work on them.

The word “chakra” means “wheel” in Sanskrit. The seven chakras are the energy centers in your body in which energy flows through. An energy system not visible to the naked eye for most people.  If one of these energies is blocked, it can lead to an illness, so it’s important to understand what each chakra (energy point) means in order to keep the energy in your body flowing nicely. When your chakras are clear, you may experience the actualization of each.

The law of vibration shows that people, animals, plants and crystals are composed of particles of energy which vibrate at specific frequency and speeds. In crystal healing we often use the body’s seven major chakras. Cleansing your chakras is important to keep your physical body and etheric body in atonement. The following infographic will help guide you to in a crystal healing meditation to cleanse your chakras.

 

 

CHAKRAS CRYSTALS MEDITATION

Save this guide for your personal practice.

First, choose the chakra you want to work on and a coordinating crystal. Suggestions are listed, but always listen to a crystal that calls to you. Often times the color of a crystal relates to its chakra.

Lie down comfortably in a peaceful, calm place. Listen to calming music if that is soothing. Hold the crystal that relates to your chakra and state out-loud your intention that the crystal cleanses and rebalances.

Picture energy radiating from out from the crystal and into your chosen chakra for a minute or two. Become aware that the chakra is being cleansed and its spin regulated. Leave the crystal in place.

When you’re ready, move your attention slowly from the soles of your feet up the midline of your body, feeling the balance and harmony of each chakra as your attention reaches it.

  1. Caitlin this is awesome! Not just the site, though it certainly is as well, but I have been looking into this exact topic, trying to better understand how to get my chakras aligned (which I read was what I needed) and this is the first article or posting that said it in plain English! Thank YOU (& Dani. Hi Dani. I haven’t met you so you don’t know me but hi! ?)… OK, so here are a couple questions. Is aligning them the same thing as cleansing them or does cleansing corollate to alignment? Or are they totally separate? And maybe this is dumb, but is there a not totally out of the way type place to buy these crystals? Cuz I need everything scrubbed. I’m trying to figure out how to cleanse my aura next. I saw a woman about it (on a fluke) and what she said was extremely disturbing. As was her price to cleanse said aura: $3500!!! So that’s on the list too if you dolls need a perfect follow-up to this post (wink, wink ?). Needless to say, the chakra cleanse will be first now that I understand it. Idk why everyone else made it sound so complicated! There was chanting and reverberating and other such things I’m pretty sure Idk how to do). But I need the crystals stat! Is there a website or store in Chicago (downtown) that you can suggest? This was perfect timing too. It’s my birthday! I’d like to start this new year with cleansed or aligned (or both) chakras. I’m launching a full blown assault on my bad magumbo. You really are a doll. Thanks so much for this post and congrats on the website. I love love love it! Hugs, Caitlin (K.)

    • Hi Caitlin, Thanks so much for your kind words, you’re such a Doll!!! There are several ways that you can cleanse or align your chakras. This meditation is one of the practices we like best. You can also try reiki, a yoga workshop or even aromatherapy. The most important thing is to be aware of your chakras, what you need to balance, and work on attunement from within. There’s also some great books you can read to learn more. Check out the Chakra Bible by Patricia Mercier. For crystals, we have some amazing stores in Chicago! Check out On the Rocks up in Andersonville (ask for Daniel) or Infiniteus in Wicker Park. When you walk into a crystal store, you’ll definitely feel some good energy. Choose the crystals you are drawn to and speak to the store operators. They are full of knowledge and love assisting with this stuff! Some crystals are more expensive than others, but for the most part it’s very affordable. Before you know it, you may start your own collection 🙂 Have fun and thanks for stopping by! XO, Caitlin + Dani

  3. Never really EVER thought about this – so thanks for putting this perspective and these ideas in my brain! I am always looking to expand my horizons!

  4. This was a very informative post. I even felt those relaxation tingles I get flow over my head as I read this.

  8. This is a great read. My mum is into chakra balancing. And i made her read your post as well. In fact just the other day she was asking me about the colours of the chakra and today I amde her read the post. Thanks. a lot.
