Chakras as most of us know, are the spinning energy centers within our subtle body which are located along the spine. The different chakras – mainly 7 – spin at varying degrees and are responsible for various psychological and physiological functions in our bodies.
The channels on which this life force energy travels are called Naadis – we can imagine them like a network of invisible microscopic lines intersecting on the Chakras and enabling the smooth movement of energy. The life force energy starts at the base of the spine and goes all the way to the crown of our head. Depending on the free flow of the life force the chakras can be balanced, underactive, or overactive resulting in our absolute well-being or the lack of it. As most of us would have understood by now, the balancing of all our chakras is extremely crucial if we want to enjoy life to the fullest.
So, what are some of the simplest methods of ensuring that our life force energy flows freely? Well, there are many methods – Meditation, Yoga, Mantras, Visualizations, Affirmations, and the easiest of all “Crystals”.
Since time immemorial people have been using crystals in their healing practices. Crystals are stones with high mineral density which developed over millions of years of crystallization. Crystals carry their vibrational frequency which is therapeutic and extremely beneficial. Since Chakras have their specific colors and vibrational frequencies, it is believed that when people use the correct crystals, the crystal’s color and vibrational energy help them restore their energy centers, bringing about the required equilibrium.
How does one use crystals for healing and balancing the chakras? Each crystal is associated with a specific chakra and can be immensely beneficial in channelizing pure energy within us if used appropriately.
- Crystal Jewellery: One of the easiest ways to benefit from crystals is to use them as a part of your jewelry. This way the crystal is in direct touch with your skin thereby dispersing its therapeutic vibrational energy continuously.
- Carry it with you: Those of you who prefer not to wear the crystal as a part of jewelry can actually carry it with you either in your purse or in your pocket.
- Sleep over it: Yes, you read that right! You can actually place the crystal underneath your pillow and enjoy all the benefits while you sleep through the night and let it work on your mind, body, and energy field.
- Meditate with Crystals: One of the most powerful ways of maximizing the benefits of the crystal is to place the chosen crystal on the corresponding chakra and meditate upon it.
Having gained a little insight into the world of crystals, it is also important to note that each one of us will have different experiences with the use of Crystals. While some will begin to see immediate results, for others it may take a while.
The key here is to start with a positive mind frame and with the belief that if you have reached here in search of information, there is a divine purpose behind this seeming coincidence.
