Once you are in the habit of frequent meditations, are tuned to the frequency of crystals, and are able to have a clear mind while in a meditative state, it is advised to begin focusing on each individual chakra for 2-3 minutes to balance and keep them in harmony with each other. (I would still advise trying it if you are in need of healing)
I have recently been using the words balance and harmony interchangeably. It has been brought to my attention that they are not the same! =o I was given an example: A person can have one leg shorter than the other leg and be off balance, but their body is still in harmony with itself. My current perspective runs along the lines of adding more crystals to unbalanced chakras but always having at least one crystal on each chakra to keep them in harmony with each other.
It is always helpful to set an intention when going into a meditation or healing space. Let it be as simple or complex as you feel it need be. A request for harmony, balance, abundance, or a gratitude session giving thanks for the love, resources, and time.
When working on myself I like to preset the arrangement of how the crystals will be by my side. Then I lie down and begin placing the crystals on myself, directly on the skin if possible. I start at the root and take my time, leaving room for slow, deep breaths in between each chakra. Taking my time here allows me not to be overwhelmed by the crystal energy. It allows me to readjust based on how I feel.
Fairly often I have meditation music streaming from my headphones or speakers; try starting with meditation music that has a bell or ‘ding’ go off every 2-3 minutes to help keep track of when to move through each chakra. It helps with keeping them in harmony with each other.
My heart has been a little heavy and I may have been leaving it too open, so I have placed a small grid in the heart chakra area with crystals; Green Calcite(middle), Rose Quartz(directly under the green calcite); to the left is Rhodonite; above that is Green Aventurine; to the right of that is Green Opal; and below that is emerald. I’m newly wearing and understanding the effects of working with Azurite, it takes me for a ride. In reflection to that I added two crystals for grounding; Carnelian and Black Tourmaline.
When actually going through each chakra:
First I will imagine a white ray extending out from the core of the Earth. I try the ray like an energetic hose that cleanses my chakra as it is “sprayed” with the light. Depending on the chakra I will repeat mantras or affirmations for it. Then I imagine the color of the chakra that brightens and darkens as I inhale and exhale, as well as expand and retract. The bell or ding lets me know when to switch chakras and helps brush any trailing thoughts off and bring attention back into focus.
Please refer to our previous post to know which color crystals go with each chakra and references to know which feelings are linked to each chakra. Many crystals have healing properties that work well on multiple chakras and a clear quartz can always take the place for a missing crystal or two. See what chakra sets we have available in the shop! Custom ones are available upon request, please email any relevant information and crystal preferences.
This is just my current method when directly applying crystals to my meditation. Always do what feels right for you and trust your intuition.***
