The basics
Your chakras are locations of concentrated energy located along your body’s midline, from the base of the spine to the top of your head.
Each chakra is associated with specific physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person’s life.
Crystals are believed to emit energy vibrations that wiggle at specific frequencies. When a crystal’s vibration aligns with the vibration of a chakra, it can help balance or cleanse the chakra’s energy.
To use crystals for balancing and cleansing chakras, place the appropriate crystal on or near the corresponding chakra during meditation or wear them as jewelry.
Each crystal has a different energy and color.
Each chakra is associated with specific colors and vibrations.
