Crystals on your chakras

In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in your body. Chakras are thought to be energy transducers, each of them represents a different part of your physical and spiritual being.

When meditating, you can place a crystal on the chakra that aligns with your intention. Laying crystals on your body allows the healing properties to activate those areas and rebalance energies. Chakra balancing is commonly and effectively used by placing the corresponding colored crystals as you meditate.

Agate

Agate is a protective crystal that intensifies the connection to the Earth (stable earth crystal). It establishes the balance of yin and yang, balancing positive and negative energy. It is particularly suitable for people who are subjected to many challenges, physical or mental, and people who need to gather a lot of strength and energy at once. It is a recommended crystal for support during difficult periods in life and for starting new paths. Many ancient civilisations regarded it as a stone of good luck and protection.

It brings health, vitality, self-reliance, great energy, youthful appearance, and long life.

Basic crystal meditation for relaxation instructions:

1. Find yourself a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.
2. Sit in a comfortable position with your spine straight.
3. Take your crystal in your hand or hands.
4. Close your eyes and switch on your deep breathing.
5. Breathe in and out deeply 3 times.
6. Now concentrate on your body, how you are feeling. Go and scan your body from the top of the head to the toes.
7. When you finish scanning your body and you now feel yourself then direct your attention to the crystal you are holding.
8. Slowly start to feel how crystal is pulsating in your hand.
9. Now start to imagine that golden light comes out from the crystal into your arm and slowly spreads towards your heart and from your heart to the whole body.
10. Feel the warmth and the joy when you are entirely in the golden light.
11. Enjoy the light and relax.
12. After you had enough (it could be 5 minutes or up to 1h, depending on how much time you want to spend meditating) you slowly start to direct your attention to yourself again.
13. Quickly scan your body again and see how you feel now.
14. Then after a while slowly open your eyes and thank the crystal for the energy.
