Using Chakra Healing Stones

Cleansed and charged healing stones are most effective when they’re in close proximity to the affected chakra. The most common approach is to wear them as jewelry or place directly over the chakra in need of healing. To bolster the effects of healing stones, you may also place them around your home, personal space, or office.

Learning how to use healing stones and gems properly is key. All stones possess their own vibrational frequency. So it is important to understand the meanings and properties of gemstones before employing their help. Choose stones that have the same vibrational frequency as the chakra in need of cleansing and balancing.

As with any energy healing approach, remember, it can take a while for stones to heal chakra imbalance and for signs of imbalance to completely subside.

An open solar plexus chakra enables you to feel confident and empowered.

When this energy center falls out of balance a variety of physical and non-physical signs may manifest. In addition to feeling emotionally unsteady, lethargic, and sometimes even aggressive, you may also experience:

• eating disorders
• digestive problems
• anxiety

As always, a healthy diet and regular exercise are essential to maintain chakra balance and keep energy flowing.
