Chakra Balancing

I knew it had been a while since I last worked on getting my chakras into alignment, but it turned out to have been even longer than I originally thought - almost an entire year! I began feeling like I needed a tune-up so I decided it was finally time (well, yeah...) to do something. I took the opportunity to do a layout on myself using these crystals.

red jasper, carnelian, citrine, green aventurine, blue lace agate, amethyst, and clear quartz.

I have found these seven crystals to be the best when working on my chakras, probably because they'll all members of the quartz family and tend to resonate and work well with one another. I can only speak from my own personal experiences, of course.

There are many crystal associations with each of the chakras, but my suggestion is to focus on color more than any of the other aspects of the crystal's energy. The frequency on the color spectrum will help your chakras reset and get back to working for you in no time. I spent all of ten minutes doing this process and I felt rejouvenated and calm for the remainder of the day.

I suggest you give it a try if you're feeling fatigued, anxious, agitated, or just because it's something new to try. And most importantly, let me know how it works for you.

If you're a little rusty on chakras or just want a refresher course, head on over to this link to get some information from Bernard Charles. He's one of my favorite people working with color - in fact, the best I've come across thus far in my journey.

Day 2 - Blue Lace Agate

Yesterday's "Passage" speaks to us about communication. There are dozens of gemstones and crystals aligned with the Throat Chakra and are thus great for increasing our ability to communicate. My go to crystal for this Chakra is Blue Lace Agate and I knew that this stone would fit in perfectly.

Judy Hall's "101 Power Crystals" states that "Blue Lace Agate dramatically changes your ability to communicate and to speak your truth." 

This gemstone can be used in crystal grids and mojo bags, or just by carrying a tumbled piece in your pocket. Wearing this stone as a pendant is perfect because of it's potential proximity to your Throat Chakra. With a Mohs hardness of 7 it is a perfect stone to use to create a gem elixir.

Do you have a crystal or gemstone that you use to aid in communication? Please leave a comment to let me know what it is.
