Meditation with Crystals!
Healing crystals are semi-precious stones that align with the aura and chakra system for physical, spiritual or emotional healing. By restoring balance and revitalizing energy centers and fields, healing crystals have the power to soothe, calm, stimulate, energize, amplify, and protect the energy of all living beings.The healing component of these precious stones is in their vibration. Made inside the earth’s layers, each crystal has a specific mineral composition. For instance, sipping a magnesium-based beverage helps induce sleep, as does the frequency of the magnesium-rich, blue crystal, Dumortierite. Naturally knit together according to the laws of sacred geometry, each crystal also has a unique frequency and magnetic charge. Just like the aura and chakra system. Pairing the right crystal with the corresponding chakra, can heal, unblock, activate or amplify the energy of that chakra and unlock healing.
What is the purpose of having a healthy, active aura and chakra system? Holistic wellness! Physical, spiritual, mental and emotional balance and health can be achieved when energy is aligned. Much like a consistent meditative practice contributing to health and balance of mind, body, and spirit. Crystals and meditation can achieve common goals, by common means. They raise vibrations through healing frequencies.
Pairing crystals with meditation can help surmount challenges that make meditation difficult, facilitate processes that support meditation and amplify higher vibrations and frequencies that can be reached by meditating. Sometimes, with great effort, a deeper state of consciousness cannot be achieved. Healing crystals help unblock and activate chakras that may be limiting the benefits of meditation. To do so use a crystal for each primary chakra or use a crystal that resonates within all the chakras, like rainbow moonstone or amethyst. A lack of grounding can also allow errant thoughts and energies to disrupt meditation. Dark, red, brown or black crystals serve to ground and protect against factors that may impair the ability to concentrate or focus. To get the most out of a meditation routine, selenite, clear quartz or Herkimer diamond, can amplify the vibrations inner and surrounding energies to achieve the greatest benefit of the practice.
Being familiar with the colors of each chakra simplifies the crystal selection process. A good rule of thumb is each chakra responds best to crystals of the same, or similar color, or color family. Some allowances are clear crystals also work for the crown. Pink and red crystals also work for the heart. Orange crystals also work for the solar plexus. Brown and black crystals also work for the root. You will find a helpful chart below with some suggestions for crystals.
To get the most from healing crystals, it serves well to experiment. Some people like to place the crystals directly on their chakra spaces, others prefer to have their crystals at a distance. That is because some people are very sensitive to the vibrations of crystals and may get woozy, experience headaches or vertigo when in direct contact with the stones. Holding the crystals by hand may be better suited to those who like to sit while they meditate, as opposed to lying down. Crystal grids are also very helpful but may require other tools and a bit of research.
Most importantly, everyone is different, don’t be afraid to explore. Try different crystals, placements, combinations, and methods to achieve different meditative goals. You embarked on a healing journey by beginning a meditation practice, embrace crystal healing as a supportive new facet to your expanding discoveries.
