A really beautiful way to practice a little Self Love & Self Nurture is to care for ourselves by cleansing, balancing & energising our chakra’s or energy centres.
This can be such a relaxing, simple & nurturing experience when we select Crystals that match the vibrational frequency of each of our chakra’s & that of our subtle bodies, this allows them to give back the remembrance of perfect health at a cellular level. So what we do is select Crystals that have the energy & the vibrational frequency for the purpose we are wanting to work on - for example, heal & release an emotional issue.
Perhaps we need to let go of an old way of being or old mental programming & belief's. It could be to aid healing of a specific physical condition, or it could just simply be to clear & re-energise our physical & etheric bodies. What we do is choose the appropriate crystals & they are then usually placed on chakra points which relate to the issues being dealt with.
What happens is - if our physical body or a thought pattern in our mind is out of balance, we can use the Vibrational Frequency of the crystals to correct it. That is why the choice of crystal is so important, because each one has the ability to change our being into a different rhythm.
The stronger vibration of the crystal coerces the perhaps weaker one of our bodies, if we are holding any blockages, into a more appropriate health pattern. Any negative energy that we may wish to let go of can then be pushed to the outer limits of our Aura or energy field for purification, restoring balance in our bodies, both physical & etheric.
Another way of looking at this concept is - All throughout our lives we are exposed to & experience shock & pain of one sort or another. Right from when we are babies, everything from falling over & bumping ourselves to harsh words or deep hurts. These experiences can be either physical or emotional, so we’ve all been exposed to many of these experiences by the time we reach maturity. What happens is over time, these experiences or emotions cause blockages in our energetic systems.
These blockages are stagnation of energy, which if left untreated, eventually form crystalline arrangements (or crystals) within our various energy pathways.
Crystals are a safe non-invasive way of clearing energies & they are a wonderful way of empowering yourself. So what i would like to share with you is a very simple way of balancing your own energies with just eight Crystals.
When most people refer to Chakras, they are referring to the seven main chakras that run vertically straight up the centre of the body, however whenever I do a chakra balance I always include the navel chakra ( this is because the navel is the beginning point of our lives and responsible for many of our physical body functions). Chakra’s are like the invisible energy centres of the body & often described as spinning energy vortexes. They each respond to a different colour & when not spinning freely or resonating to their appropriate colour, this can indicate physical, emotional or spiritual blockages.
So simplistically how it works is each chakra will vibrate to the colour & frequency of each Crystal we select to work with. These vibrations will open up the chakra's & increase the energy frequency. It is then upon to the individual to let go of the old programming or way of being & receive new ways.
To commence you place each crystal on the corresponding chakra point, starting at the base & working your way up the body.
Which brings us to which crystal to use:
Base Chakra - Hematite
Sacral Chakra - Carnelian
Navel Chakra - Citrine
Solar Plexus - Green Aventurine
Heart Chakra - Rose Quartz
Throat Chakra - Blue Lace Agate
Third Eye Chakra - Amethyst
Crown Chakra - Clear Quartz
Then relaxing, direct you breath into each chakra & visualise it energised & vibrating.
The idea is to place your focus on flow of your breath & gently breath in & out while allowing yourself the time to drift peacefully into your own inner sanctuary. This allows the energy of the crystals to blend with your own energy & restores inner peace, harmony & balance. I find 20minutes a nice amount of time to do this exercise, but longer is wonderful if you can, i quite often lay the crystals on just before i go to sleep & just let them fall off as you drift off. Crystals truely are an amazing doorway into other realms.
