BALANCING YOUR CHAKRAS WITH CRYSTALS

What I didn't know back then is that nature, as well as our bodies, is in a constant state of flux and by bringing a part of nature into our homes, we create an environment that allows a deep connection to our Mother Earth. There’s a steady flow of energy between us and our surroundings and by opening our hearts and minds towards the powers of nature, we become one step closer to finding our true selves.

Crystals have been used for thousands of years to balance our emotional, physical and spiritual selves. In Ancient Egypt the dead were buried with a quartz on their forehead to ensure a safe transition into the afterlife. The Greeks believed that crystals are eternal ice sent from heaven and the Romans wore crystal amulets and talismans to protect them in battles. In Eastern philosophies, crystals play a central role in balancing the base chakras, the seven energy centers in our body.

As history shows, crystals have always been thought to have a healing effect on our body. Everything vibrates at its own frequency and we, as humans, are affected by dissimilar as well as similar vibrations. Crystals resonate with these vibrational frequencies and therefore, trigger biochemical shifts that have a healing effect on our physical, mental and emotional health. Crystals are not only a useful resource/ or handy tool in colour therapy, also their geometric shape is believed to have an influence on their metaphysical properties.

The energy vibrations of crystals correspond with our individual chakras. Green stones like Green Kyanite or Malachite, for example, best align with the frequency of the heart chakra. The vibrational frequencies of the different energy centers in our body are reflected in colours, following the order of the rainbow, from red to purple and white.
