Welcome back!

Last week we delved into the world of Reiki and learned about all of our chakras and what they mean. I explained how most professional Reiki masters perform chakra work, but you can actually do chakra healing on yourself at home using one of my most favorite things. Crystals! So let’s learn which crystals work for which chakra and how you can use them to get your energies flowing.

For Root Chakra, try these crystals:

• Hematite
• Black Tourmaline
• Shungite

The root chakra is in charge of the feelings of safety and security. Hematite, Black Tourmaline, and Shungite are all strong protective stones which can help you keep negative energies and fear from blocking your root chakra and help balance your energy.

For Sacral Chakra, try these crystals:

• Carnelian
• Golden Healer
• Unakite 

The sacral chakra is in charge of your creativity and drive. It is also connected to how you relate your feelings to the feelings of others. Carnelian and Unakite are great stones for getting your creative juices flowing, allowing you to keep your mind clear. Golden Healer is great for helping to deal with your emotions. Not dealing with your emotions can be a huge reason why your sacral chakra could be blocked. 

For the Solar Plexus Chakra, try these crystals:

• Tiger’s Eye
• Pyrite 
• Citrine

The solar plexus chakra is in charge of your own personal power and identity. It is the base of showing who you are. Pyrite and Tiger’s Eye are great crystals for coming out of your shell and embracing your true self. Citrine is an extreme mood booster that helps to amplify the Tiger’s Eye and Pyrite.

For the Heart Chakra, try these crystals:

• Malachite
• Green Aventurine
• Rose Quartz

The heart chakra is in charge of your own true emotions. It controls how you feel love, empathy, and forgiveness. Malachite and Rose Quartz are great for balancing emotions and attracting the love of others as well as self love. Green Aventurine is a stone of prosperity which helps one to open oneself to being loved and showing love. 

For the Throat Chakra, try . . .

• Agate
• Chalcedony
• Angelite

The throat chakra is the center of communication. It allows you to process your thoughts and deliver them in the way you want. Agate, Chalcedony, and Angelite are all great for helping with communicating not only with others, but with yourself. 

For the Third Eye Chakra, you need . . .

• Lapis Lazuli
• Labradorite 
• Opalite

The third eye chakra is believed to rule over your perception, awareness, and spirituality. Lapis Lazuli and Labradorite are all great stones for helping you keep inner peace and gratitude, and Opalite is great for optimism and staying positive in the future. 

For Crown Chakra work, try . . .

• Amethyst
• Fluorite
• Selenite

The crown chakra is known for being the center of personal enlightenment, wisdom, and universal consciousness. Fluorite and Amethyst are great for relieving anxiety and stress, and selenite is a cleansing crystal that is great for helping keep a clear and unfogged mind. 

To do your own chakra therapy at home, it is quite simple with these crystals. Make sure your crystals are cleansed and charged. Lie down on a flat surface, and place the crystal on the corresponding chakra. Then do a light meditation for about 10 minutes. This will help remove any energy blockages. So, that is all; come back next week where I will talk about the crystal everyone wants to know about, Moldavite. Why is it so popular? Is it actually that powerful? Why is it so expensive?
