Choosing Crystals for Healing

by | Jan 23, 2019

So, you’re at a big crystal & mineral show, or a Flea Market, or at a specialty crystal shop and you want to buy something… but which stone or crystal is the right one for you?

The best place to start, is by identifying what is it you’d like to have remedied, or whatever personal thing you’re working on and the affiliated Chakra. The Chakras (Sanskrit, “wheel”) are seven major energy centers of the body, starting at the root and ending at the head which follow the centerline of the body. Chakras are a part of the subtle body where life force energy flows through the body’s channels. Each Chakra governs different physical organs, emotional, and mental states.

The simplest way to choose a crystal is by basing it on the color of the chakra related to the issue you would like to address.

This chart indicating the seven chakras and associated colors and crystals should help.

 

1st Chakra – The Root 
Primary color is red, also black
Crystals like Garnet or Onyx, Red Jasper

2nd Chakra – The Sacral
Primary color is orange
Crystals like Carnelian, orange calcite

 

3rd Chakra – The Solar Plexus

Once you have chosen a crystal, hold it in your hands and see how it feels. The way crystals cause effect and positive change in you body is through resonance. A crystal that feels good is resonating in a harmonious way with your own energy field and subtly causing balance.

There are many, many crystals that cause a variety of effects and can be used in many ways. Take your time to get to know them and their many uses.
