Chakra Stones

What Are Chakra Stones

Chakra stones are healing crystals that have a specific vibration and color that creates a healing action in individual chakras. All of the chakras have specific colors that can be used to heal them, as well as specific sound vibrations. Although most stones of a specific color will be the stone for healing a particular chakra, some stones may be used to heal more than one chakra.

What Are Chakras

Chakras are energy vortices that exist within the etheric body and transmit life force energy to the body. Each chakra governs specific bodily functions of the organs in the body close to the area where they are located. The chakras meanings relate to the location of each chakra within the body.

Although we normally speak of only seven chakras, the human energy field is made up of thousands of minor chakras in addition to the major seven.

The chart below has ten chakras listed, these are the major seven chakras that are within the body and two chakras that are etheric... the soul star above and the earth star below, plus the thymus or higher heart chakra.

Chakra Colors

Look at the chart below which gives you a list of the chakra colors... and the specific details on the colors for each chakra.

To see which specific stones can be used to heal each of the individual chakras... click on the chakra name... to go to the page where you will find an in-depth chart listing the stones for that chakra.

Healing crystals of the specific chakra colors are as follows:

Although certain colors are commonly thought to heal certain chakras, some stones do not fit the pattern. Clear crystals, black, brown and various mixed color crystals have a healing effect on a few different chakras. Other stones that heal more than one chakras are those with flecks through them such as agates.

The lower chakras such as the base chakra and the earth star chakra... which is below the feet ... respond to the black and brown crystals. These darker crystals have a strong spiritual grounding ability.

Often stones of a particular color that is a mixture of the two chakra colors, will heal both of the chakras. Light yellow-green stones and crystals are good examples... as they heal both the solar plexus chakra (because of the yellow tone) and the heart chakra (because of the green). Examples of stones that are this color include Peridot, Green Chrysoprase, Green Prehnite and Light Green Hiddenite (pictured below.)

Chakras from the heart up are very closely associated with the spiritual area within the etheric body, and may be healed by high vibration stones. These stones that have high crystal energy are powerful for making dramatic changes in those chakras.

Spiritual grounding is an important activity for anyone who is working on developing their psychic abilities... as using high crystal energy stones... such as crown chakra stones or soul star chakra stones may make you ungrounded.

Which Chakra Stones to Use

Clear quartz will work to heal all chakras. Clear quartz clusters have a positive effect on all chakras. Each individual crystal in the cluster will send out the positive energy to enable it to impact with the entire human energy field.

A clear quartz cluster in a room will send the energy out throughout the room. It's vibration has the potential to boost any other stones energy so it may assist all chakras.

Crystals have a vibration which can be measured... and according to the level of the vibration can be effective healers of individual chakras.

The fact that colors also have vibrations, that can be measured... is the reason why particular stones that are specific colors are effective, in different areas of the body.

All of the chakras from the heart chakra up will aid your spiritual development. For more in-depth information on what each chakra does, see the page for each specific chakra.

Chakra Kits

It is an advantage to acquire chakra stones of the specific chakra colors. Chakra Kits can be bought at most crystal shops and are a very helpful way to do this.

This is a mixture of stones that have been put together so that you may more easily work at healing your own body.

These kits will have at least seven stones in them... one for each of the seven chakras within the body.

Many kits have eight or nine or more.... and this is an advantage. A chakra kit should have a chart included that will tell you how to use the various chakra stones.

If you pick one up and feel a pleasant sensation in your hand... that is quite normal. If you are not used to crystals it may not be immediately apparent. In that case be led simply by what appeals to you. As color is vibration too, this may be your body's way of telling you what to use.

In Summary

Buying a chakra kit may be your first step. Later as you learn more about healing crystals, you will be able to confidently buy individual pieces that appeal to you. Allow your intuition to guide you and choose what you need to create a positive healing outcome.
