Chakras are subtle, dynamic
energy vortexes and are as much a part of our bodies as arms or legs.
You can't
see electricity, but when you turn on the light, you see its effect. The
chakras can similarly be understood by their effects. Physical
organs and maladies in the area of a chakra can be treated with stones of
the colour relating to that chakra. It is not surprising that our subtle
energy centres are especially connected to the physical body in their
location. A basic example of this would be using green stones like
chlorite or peridot to treat heart or chest conditions, as that organ is
influenced by the 4th, or heart chakra.
The logic is
that as gross matter manifests from subtle energy, so strengthening the
chakras in the problem area would be a good start. Another point, is that
while the organ may be healed conventionally, if the underlying energetic
imbalance is not addressed, the condition may return. A man may have a
heart attack and blood thinners keep him going, but if the causes are not
addressed, stress for example, there's a good chance of more heart
problems. |

Chakra Healing
Technique
Find a quiet place where
you are unlikely to be disturbed for at least 10 minutes, turn off your
phone. Lay on your back and breathe deeply and slowly as this relaxes
the body and slows all physiological functions. If the sound of running
water, certain music or other practices relaxes you, include that
technique at this point. Imagine a healing white light entering the body
on the in-breath and all stresses and negative energies leaving the body
on the out-breath. This is not just imagination, energy follows thought.
This prepares your body to receive maximum benefit from the energy of
the stones.
Place each stone on its
respective chakra. Both the location of the chakra and correct colour
are shown on the above charts. |

You may want to imagine the chakras as
glowing sphere of the appropriate colour. As a prelude to meditation
or spiritual practice do this upwards, from 1 to 7. For general
health or to "set you up" for the day, do the exercise downwards
from 7 to 1. This stage is an extra and not essential if you would
prefer to just relax or even snooze. The colour and energy of the
stone will naturally resonate with each chakra, restoring structure,
harmony and balance to your entire system.
Another additional amplification
technique is to place a hand (or hands) over each stone for a few
minutes each. Visualise energy in the same colour as the stone,
passing through the stone and entering into the chakra until you can
clearly visualise that chakra as a large, glowing sphere of the
appropriate colour. |

Alternatively, use
inward pointing quartz crystals, 3 around each stone. If you have many
quartz points they can be placed around all the chakra stones, if not,
one at a time, preferably in conjunction with one of the above
visualisations.
Concentrate on the chakra closest to the area in which you have a
physical problem. Similarly, concentrate on the chakra that governs
qualities you may want to develop - see the keywords below. Have a clear
intention of your desired result. Remember to briefly cleanse all your
crystals in cold running water after a few sessions. Leaving on the
earth in sunlight will also help to keep their energies strong and pure. |
