Chakra in Crystal Healing

[agianto]

There are seven major/main chakras that are located along the spinal column to the head of our physical body and many more minor/secondary chakras which are located in the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and at major joints in the arms and legs. A chakra is a vortice of energy where universal life force is drawn in (it acts like a transformer: adjusting the frequencies of the universal life energy of mother nature to that of our body’s) and channelled (it act like a transmitter: controlling the level and speed of energy flowing) through our body and auric field. The chakras serve as linking mechanisms between the auric field and the physical body as well as linking mechanisms between the different levels of the auric field itself.

The energy of each of the seven major charkas of the body is different. It is associated with a spectral color that is simply light of varying wavelengths. Each color has its own particular energy that corresponds to each of the major chakras. The color of an object (like a crystal in our case) that we see is the scattering and/or transmitting of light of varying wavelength (spectral colors). Though the color perception is dependent on the source of light, the neighbouring colors and our eye conditions.

Below is the names and location of each major chakras with its color association:.

First Chakra which is also known as Root, Base, Muladhara, Kundalini (Sanskrit), is situated at the base of spine and the pubic bone (but encompasses genitals and reproductive organs). It has associated color of red, thus its corresponding crystals are red garnet, ruby, red jasper, carnelian, rhodochrosite, etc. Bloodstone is included due to its red spots while black hematite is also included because it has a red color streak.

Second Chakra which is also known as Sacral, Sexual, Svadhisthana (Sanskrit), is situated: behind and just below the navel. It has associated color of orange, thus its corresponding crystals are carnelian, fire opal, or fire agate, orange jasper, etc.

Third Chakra which is also known as Solar Plexus, Manipura (Sanskrit), is situated at solar plexus, in the V formed by the ribcage, above the navel. It has associated color of yellow, thus its corresponding crystals are citrine, topaz, amber, sunstone, etc.

Fourth Chakra which is also known as Heart, Anahata (Sanskrit), is situated at the midway between shoulder blades (over the sternum). It has associated color of Green, thus its corresponding crystals are malachite, emerald, green calcite, dioptase, jade, etc. It is also associated with pink with corresponding crystals: rose quartz.

Fifth Chakra which is also known as Throat, Visuddha (Sanskrit), is situated at the throat area
It has associated color of  blue, thus its corresponding crystals are turquoise, amazonite, kyanite aquamarine , gem silica,  lapis, sodalite, blue sapphire, azurite, etc.

Sixth Chakra which is also known as Third Eye, Brow, Ajna (Sanskrit),  is situated at the centre of head, behind forehead. It has associated color of indigo, thus its corresponding crystals are  lapis, sodalite, amethyst, sugilite, lepediolyte, azurite, etc.

Seventh Chakra which is also known as Crown, Sahasrara (Sanskrit), is situated at the top of head. It has associated color violet thus its corresponding crystals are amethyst, apophyllite, phrenite, etc.  It is also associated with white with corresponding crystals: clear quartz, diamond, etc.  Some would include opaque white stones such as white agate.

Actually I have to say that in Crystal Healing Therapy there are ten chakras not seven that are used.

Do you only use seven then?

An Exercise for Aura Health:

One should strengthen and protect the aura in various everyday life situations.  One should especially strengthen the aura if he or she knows that he or she will encounter an individual that will drain his or her energy, as this is extremely detrimental to the auric body.  This should also be done if one knows that he or she will have to spend time in a negative energy environment or deal with a situation surrounded by negative energies and emotions.

To protect the aura, one should close off their energy body to others by engaging in the protective posture (feet crossed at the ankles and with thumbs and fingers touching).

To strengthen and energize the aura, one can undertake the nostril breathing technique.  In this technique, the breath is used to strengthen the auric field and to balance the mind and the physical body.  This technique is performed by alternating one's breaths, breathing in through one nostril and then out of the other.

To begin the technique, hold the nostrils between your thumb and  index finger.  Place your right thumb and finger over your nostril (without squeezing) and exhale.  Then connect your tongue to your palette just behind your front teeth.  Next, press your thumb against right nostril to close it and inhale through your left nostril for approximately three seconds.  While keeping your right nostril closed with your thumb, press your index finger onto your left nostril.  Your nose should now be closed between your thumb and finger.  Keep your nostrils pinched shut for approximately 15 seconds.  If 15 seconds is too long for you, then reduce the time limit to amount that you feel comfortable with.  Now, remove your thumb so as to open your right nostril, but continue holding your left nostril closed with your index finger. Slowly release your breath through your right nostril for aproximately three seconds.

Remove your right hand from your nose and place your left hand on your nostrils with your thumb pressing on your left nostril. Inhale through your right nostril for approximately three seconds and press your left index finger onto your right nostril, so as to close it. Hold this breath for approximately 15 seconds.  Then, remove your thumb to open your left nostril, but continue to press your right nostril closed with your index finger. Slowly release your breath through your left nostril for aproximately three seconds.

Repeat this exercise, while alternating nostrils for approximately three to five repetitions.

To purify the aura, one can perform the cleansing vortex exercise.  In this exercise, one visualizes a whirlwind of purifying, healing, white light which surrounds the auric body (beginning at the Causal/Ketheric Body) and removes all negative energy and transmutes it into positive energy.  This positive energy is released into the earth for the good of all beings when the vortex departs from the etheric body and moves into the earth.

Once the aura has been strengthened, protected, and cleared, one is ready to absorb the healing energy of the crystals.

very comprehensive information crystalhealer.  My swadishthana chakra is overactive( You know what happens when that is not balanced with other chakras). I experimented with Zen meditation. But didnt complete the process. It opened the swadisthana and I discontinued unknowingly without taking it to the next logical step of opening the higher chakras and raising the energy.  I am involved in that process now.  You have mentioned serpentine and tiger's eye(blue, golden, red ) for helping with Kundalini. Do they open the chakras as such?  Is there crystal to open the chakras. I heard rose quartz can open Anahata. Could you suggest a crystal for overactive swdisthana? All these crystals are so wonderful.  Can I just buy a bunch of them and put them in a bowl?
