Top 4 Crystals to Own 

The easiest way is to gather a basic starter pack for crystals.

Number one: everyone should have a Selenite for cleansing you and your other crystals

Number two: You should have a Clear Quartz. This holds cleansing properties that uplift, soothe

Number three: Rose quartz- This because our largest energy center in the body is our Heart Chakra. This quartz harmonizes and will provide more energy to the rest of our spiritual centers. 

Number four: Tourmaline for aura protection.

How do I know which ones to get for my personal use?

Your Zodiac sign can be a resource on how to start. Each zodiac sign will have unique vibrations that match crystals with similar energies and properties. You can buy crystals your sign pairs with.

You can buy crystals based on what you aim to have more or less of in your life. Figure out what exactly you are looking to enhance on your healing journey.

Can you buy fake crystals?

Unfortunately, yes. With a rising market of popularity plastic or glass crystals are widely sold for decor or jewelry pieces. Fake crystals have no healing properties or elements. So it is important to choose locations that are widely known and housed for rocks, crystals and minerals. 

Can I use crystals and mess something up?

Keep in mind that crystal energy is very subtle. It is entirely possible to “overdose” but typically the side effects are small and very easily reversed or rendered. 

Such vibrations are called photons. Their interaction with the electrons that hold the crystal together is partly responsible for the crystal’s optical properties. It also affects its ability to conduct heat or electricity. Furthermore, it contributes to the crystal’s vanishing electrical resistance if it is superconducting.


How to cleanse, use and recharge my crystals

Crystals need to be charged if their natural frequency gets out of tune. If a crystal is not in tune with its natural frequency. You can do this easily. Allow your crystals to sit on a window sill. They should get both the sun and moon’s light for cleansing.

This is why interacting with focused intention and even crystal grids is all you really need to do.

Interaction looks like cleaning them, lightly dusting or rinsing. Repositioning them with the moon cycles. For instance every full moon lay them out and reposition them. Try to set and place intentions for the months. Using this time for new affirmations and small goals. This ritual practice can help keep a healthy balance of your crystal’s energy.

How To Heal Your Own Chakra

Remember that chakras are the seven energy centers inside our bodies, located up and down the spine. When chakras are imbalanced, our bodies and moods are affected. In order to be in perfect harmony, our energies must be healed and balanced.

The goal with healing our chakras is to achieve balance and congruence with one’s spirit and body. When we do this, we feel grounded, healthy, and enlightened.

Here are some ways you can heal your own chakras through different frequencies: light, sound, food, the senses, and crystals. We will go into much deeper detail about these in subsequent blog posts.

 

Healing Chakras through Light

Each chakra has a different color of light associated with it. To heal a particular chakra, add more of that color into your life via clothes, foods, pictures, etc.

  1. The Root Chakra – red light
  2. The Sacral Chakra – orange light
  3. The Solar Plexus Chakra – yellow light
  4. The Heart Chakra – green light
  5. The Throat Chakra – blue light
  6. The Brow Chakra (a.k.a The Third Eye) –indigo light
  7. The Crown Chakra – violet light

 

Healing Chakras through Sound

Like light, each chakra has a different sound or chant associated with it. Try some quiet meditation: find a quiet place to sit comfortably with your back straight, breathe deeply, and chant the sound for the chakra you need to heal. Do this for at least a few minutes, and try to keep your mind focused on that chakra. They all are pronounced as “__OM.”

 

  1. The Root Chakra – “LAM”
  2. The Sacral Chakra – “VAM”
  3. The Solar Plexus Chakra – “RAM”
  4. The Heart Chakra – “YAM”
  5. The Throat Chakra – “HAM”
  6. The Brow Chakra (a.k.a The Third Eye) – “OM”
  7. The Crown Chakra – “OM”

 

Healing Chakras through Foods

A healthy diet is just as important for our minds and spirits as it is for our bodies. Here are some ideas for foods that you can eat on your own to help balance your energies.

  1. The Root Chakra – red foods such as tomatoes strawberries; root vegetables such as carrots and turnips; protein-rich food such as beans and lean meats
  2. The Sacral Chakra – orange foods such as peaches and oranges; nuts and seeds; and spices such as cinnamon
  3. The Solar Plexus Chakra – yellow foods such as bananas and lemons; complex carbs and whole grains such as oats and brown rice
  4. The Heart Chakra – green, raw foods such as spinach, broccoli, and kiwi
  5. The Throat Chakra – blue foods such as blueberries; soothing foods and liquids such as herbal teas and coconut water
  6. The Brow Chakra (a.k.a The Third Eye) – purple foods such as purple grapes and purple kale; cocao
  7. The Crown Chakra – meditation herbs or essential oils such as juniper, lavender, and sage

 

Healing Chakras through the Senses

Being present-minded and mindful of our senses is very important for chakra cleansing. Each chakra is associated with a different sense. The five senses are associated with our first five energies, and the last two energies are associated with spiritual senses. To balance a chakra, focus on that particular sense.

  1. The Root Chakra – sense of smell; scent
  2. The Sacral Chakra – sense of taste; appetite
  3. The Solar Plexus Chakra – sense of sight; vision
  4. The Heart Chakra – sense of feeling; touch
  5. The Throat Chakra – sense of hearing; listening
  6. The Brow Chakra (a.k.a The Third Eye) – sense of intuition; insight
  7. The Crown Chakra – sense of empathy; unity
