Every crystal has its own healing properties and powers, Each of these spiritual energies connect to their own unique chakras, holding vibrational energy.
This energy can be transferred to the chakra to help your mind, body, and soul heal.

How to Activate Chakra Stones
You can activate your chakra stones in a number of ways. However, you should know that as long as your crystal or stone is charged, it will naturally activate.
If you want to personally activate your chakra stone, you can either perform asanas or repeat a mantra of your choice. Alternatively, any other kind of activity that focuses on the chakra stones will activate them.
Cleansing Chakra Stones
While activating occurs naturally, it is crucial for you to cleanse your chakra stones frequently. This is done to ensure that your stones are full of positive energy, and any negative energy is cast out.
There are lots of ways to cleanse your chakra stones, but below are some of our favorite methods to try:
Sage the chakra stones for one minute
Run the stones under fresh water for one minute
Allow the stones to sit in the sunlight for 10-12 hours
Soak the stones in salt water for a minute
Perform sound healing for 5-10 minutes
Place your chakra stone beside a larger stone with quartz clusters, selenite slabs, or amethyst geodes for 24 hours
Place your chakra stone beside a smaller stone with carnelian, hematite, or clear quartz for 24 hours (see also ‘Can Carnelian Go in Water‘)
Please remember that some crystals and stones should never come in contact with water (see also ‘What Crystals Cannot go in Water‘).
Some crystals cannot be submerged in any water, while others must only avoid salt water. Please refer to our list of crystals that should never come into contact with water to ensure that they are kept safe.
Doing this to crystals that are not water safe can result in the crystal or stone being damaged. This will change the internal structure of the crystal and negatively impact its ability to help in spiritual healing.
Why Use Chakra Stones?
Chakra stones have vibrational energy that work alongside the correlating chakra to help you heal. They have a number of health benefits, and can help you face challenges in your life.
If you find that you are struggling with any issues, chakra may be able to help you. From stress and anxiety to blood pressure and fertility, there are chakra stones that can help you on your healing journey.
How Can Chakra Stones be Used?
One of the most common ways for chakra stones to be used is through jewelry.
Most commonly, you will see chakra jewelry being worn in the form of necklaces and bracelets. However, chakra earrings and rings are also popular, and are stunning.
Stones such as turquoise, amethyst, and moonstone are some of the most popular options for jewelry. Anything can be used for this purpose, though.
Some stones should not be worn for a long period of time, though, as they can have very powerful effects.
Chakra stones can also be used alongside meditation. This can help to restore chakra flow while you focus on it and place it in the area it correlates with.
You can also use chakra stones during yoga to help you focus and amplify your health. The stones can help you get rid of stale energy that’s keeping you back, and allow you to unblock your full potential.
