Cleansing and Programming Healing Chakra Crystals
Chakra healing stones or chakra crystals can be used like a storage battery for thought energy. “Clearing” deals with the energy of the stone or crystal. Chakra healing stones and crystals can also be “programmed” with our thought energy and then act as our subtle chakra energy fields. They can also help create situations in our life that will lead us in directions that allow for positive growth and healing.
Clearing a chakra healing crystal or gem stone is a simple process and the purpose is to ensure that there no left over negative energies from the person who owned it before you, which includes the store owners and employees that may have handled them.
Clearing is a way to personalize your Chakra healing stone and create a new energy bond between you and your new gem stone partner.
There are many ways you can clear your stone. Here are 3 of the easiest ways:
- Hold your new crystal under cold running water, and as the water pours over it, close your eyes and imagine all of the negative energies being washed away down the drain and out into the vast ocean to be purified by Mother Earth and the cycle of life.
- You can leave your chakra crystals in the warm sun and allow the power of its light to purify the crystal with “fire”.
- Place a teaspoon of sea salt into a bowl of water. Place your gem stone in the water and let it sit for an hour. Both sea salt and water are natural and allow for the release and balancing of energies.
To program your new chakra healing crystals, hold it in your hand, close your eyes, and in your imagination create an image of what you want your crystal to help you create.
Keep your chakra crystals close to your skin, and when you can’t wear them, store them in a special box or bag, which has also been purified and blessed. The more you fill your crystals with love, the more you will receive back threefold.
Chakra Healing Essential Oils
Just as colour, sound and healing stones have certain resonance
with the chakras, so do different plants and their essential oils.
Essential oils are the fragrant distilled essence of plants, and can be used to help balance the chakras.
Use the fragrance which most appeal to you and blend the pure essential oils with a carrier oil such as almond oil.
Essential Oils That Resonate With the Chakras
Root Chakra:
To balance the root chakra (base chakra) use corn, clematis, rosemary, ylang ylang, myrrh, frankincense, benzoin, patchouli, and/or sandalwood.
Sacral Chakra:
All citrus oils like neroli, melissa and orange. Also rose, hibiscus, jasmine, Indian Paintbrush, and Lady’s slipper.
Solar Plexus Chakra:
Yarrow, chamomile, peppermint, lemon, juniper, vetivert, petigrain, and marjoram.
Heart Chakra:
Holly, poppy, rose, eucalyptus, and pine, bergamot, melissa, jasmine or rosewood.
Throat Chakra:
Cosmos, trumpet vine, larch, blue chamomile, sage, lemongrass, geranium or hyssop.
Third Eye Chakra:
Wild oat, Queen Anne’s Lace, madia, rosemary, lavendar, peppermint, spruce, frankincense, patchouli, elemi, or clary sage.
Crown Chakra:
Lotus, angelica, star tulip, frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh, jasmine, benzoin, neroli, lavendar, angelica, or St. John’s Wort.
How To Use Essential Oils For Chakra Balancing
The easiest and most direct way of using essential oils for chakra balancing is to rub a drop or two, blended with a carrier oil, onto the skin above the chakra you wish to treat.
You can also rub the oils into the palms of your hands, and then wave your hands through your aura, rather than placing the oil directly onto your skin. This will disperse any negative energy that may have collected in your aura. Swirl your hands first in a counter-clockwise motion to break up and dispel unwanted energies,then go clockwise to rebalance your aura.
You can also treat your environment by using an oil diffuser. An oil diffuser is a small ceramic piece with a shallow bowl shape at the top, and a hollow area underneath where you place a small candle. Place a little water and a few drops of essential oil in the shallow bowl and light the candle underneath. As the candle warms the bowl, the oil will begin to burn off and diffuse the air, purifying then environment of negative energies.
