How do Chakra Crystals Work?
Chakra crystals or stones have healing properties thanks to their vibration and interaction with the body chakras. The stones are associated with one or more of our energy centers and their color matches the color of the chakra they interact with.
Much like healing sounds, colors also give off vibrations with specific frequency and wavelength, thus interacting with specific parts of the body’s energy field.
In this way, chakra crystals and stones can help activate, balance or create a healing process related to individual chakras. When you are using your imagination to visualize energy during meditation, your chakra crystal can magnify this energy or channel it towards a specific energy center.
Due to the vast number of chakra crystals, it might take you some time to gain experience and knowledge about the links between certain crystals and the chakras. So, when choosing your first chakra crystal, you can simply let your intuition guide you. Most people initially feel attracted to specific chakra crystals due to their glow or the sensation they create on the skin. As your body unconsciously reacts to vibrations and energies, it might, guide you to the stone you need. Aster a while, you will be able to choose chakra crystals based on your knowledge and their heath benefits.
