How To Choose The Right Chakra Stone For You

 

You might feel overwhelmed by the number of gemstones available on the list above (and there are much more available).

However, there's nothing to be worried about!

I found that one of the best ways of picking the right stones is to use your intuition and go for the ones that you feel most attracted to.

​

Here are a few useful tips on how to pick the right chakra stones:

  • Pick the ones that caught your eye immediately.

  • Try to examine the stone in person if possible, and hold it in your hand for a few seconds.

  • Do you like the glow and the texture of the gemstone?

  • How do you feel when you hold it in your hand?

  • If you feel a slight tingling sensation, excitement, or even have goosebumps during your examination - this stone is definitely for you!

  • If you don't have the opportunity to scrutinize the physical chakra stone, go entirely by the looks and your heart feeling.

​

How To Use Chakra Stones

​

There is no correct or incorrect way for chakra stones to be used. However, I am going to give you a few creative ideas on how to include them as a part of your daily routine:

  1. Meditate with your crystals. 
    This is probably my favorite way of using chakra stones (especially during my concentration meditation). The main idea here is to hold the stone(s) in your hand or place them near you and put your entire attention on a specific chakra center during your session.
     

  2. Place the stones on your physical body (and position them at the 7 chakra points).
    This is a very popular method, which is very often used during holistic therapy known as crystal healing. During the session, you normally lay down on your back, relax for 20-30 minutes, and let your crystal therapist do the magic.
     

  3. Wear your chakra stones as a form of jewelry.
    This is considered to be the most convenient way of using chakra stones, as you will always have them around you in the form of bracelet, necklace, ring, or earrings.
    Feel free to check out our website for some of these products.
     

  4. Use them during your bath time.
    This method might require a bit of research, as certain stones might change their properties, and they shouldn't get in contact with water.
     

  5. Create your own, beautiful chakra crystal grid.
    Crystal grids are extremely powerful as they often combine sacred geometry to enhance the healing properties of your chakra crystals.
    This is probably a more advanced way of using chakra stones, and you can look into it later on.

What Are Chakra Stones

​

Now that you know how to pick the best chakra stones and how to use them, let's get familiar with some of the most popular gemstones for each chakra center.

All chakra stones are unique in their properties, mineral composition, and energetic charge.
Some of the gemstones listed below are more universal than the others, and they can be used to balance multiple chakras.

12 Step Stones/Crystals

STEP 1 - Acceptance
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.
​

  • Amethyst - is the First Step stone because it symbolizes Sobriety and Abstinence from any substance.

  • Citrine - Success in any new endeavor - promotes a positive outcome

  • Peridot - Detoxing: Nice stone for someone in their first year. Processes, Releases and neutralizes toxins on all levels.

  • Tiger Eye - Newcomers, people who are easily distracted, adults with A.D.D. or who are Manic/Depressive, emotionally immature people, procrastinators, people in emotional turmoil, people in transitional states, need this stone, as it grounds them as soon as they are in its presence. If you feel nervous, anxious, or fearful much of the time, this is a great stone for you.

You could also use any of these Acceptance Stones for the First Step:

​

Step 2 - Faith
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
​

This step speaks of opening the door to the possibility of SOMETHING that can do for us that which we can not do for ourselves. No ACTION is required here, but rather the belief that the possibility exists that we do not have all the answers, or we would not be here.Within this step lies HOPE that there IS a way out. (Green is the color of Hope and Re-Birth) Help with this step:

​

  • Peridot - A good first "Spiritual Stone" for people who have not yet had a spiritual awakening, or are having trouble relating to a "Higher Power" as it helps people who are having trouble relating to the reality of a world beyond the physical world, or that some outside influence is willing to support and aid.

  • Citrine - Opens the mind to new ideas

  • Golden Topaz - Helps to initiate faith and further the quest for the enlightened state.

​

Step 3 - Surrender
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
​

This is an ACTION step. It is about making a choice.

​

  • Azurite - Known as "The Stone of Heaven", it promotes the pursuit of the Spirit. Azurite is a BEACON. A lantern in the darkness... Azurite is also a stone for "Letting Go"... of old behavior, old patterns, old way of seeing the world.

  • Smokey Quartz - It helps to set aside willfulness (turning over our own self will) and headstrong behavior.

  • Ruby - The Stone of Wise Choices, helping you to make decisions that lead to your Ultimate good.

  • Black Onyx - Excellent stone for initiating the process of centering and alignment of the total person with a Higher Power. It helps us to absorb whatever energy we need from the Universe.

​

Step 4 - Honesty
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
​

Help with this step:

​

  • Apatite helps us to see the truth about ourselves.Turquoise - A truth stone, it symbolizes a time to be honest with yourself. Much will be gained when you become still, and see yourself as your truly are.This stone is a reminder to share your vision and WALK your TALK! This step is not a "think it" step... its a "DO IT!" step. The truth is very motivating to those ready to hear it. By doing so, you make it okay for them to believe and follow.

  • Obsidian - Personal Insight - Its mirror like surface reveals its special ability to act as a mirror and help you see your own flaws honestly. It doesn't abandon you there, but will also provide insight into correcting those flaws.

​

Step 5 - Courage
Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
​

This step calls for some courage. To believe we will still be loved. To walk forward in spite of fear. To take the ACTION of selecting one to whom we will bare our soul. It also is a motivator, as this step seems to be on that many people procrastinate about taking, and can be stuck on this step a long time.Help with this step:

​

  • Sodalite - Eliminates Shame, Fear and Guilt better than any other stone! Many times, shame, guilt and fear of revealing our past to another human being will hold someone back from being able to take this step.

  • Malachite - This is particularly useful for people on a spiritual path, or in recovery, for releasing guilt from past events that are hazy or difficult to remember.

  • Carnelian - Stone of Action

  • Courage - Agates, Tiger Eye, Aquamarine, Bloodstone, Citrine

​

Step 6  - Willingness
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Help with this step:
​

  • Fluorite - Letting Go of Defects: builds purity of spirit and helps to clarify those aspects of our spiritual nature that it is time to release and let go, as they no longer serve our higher good.

  • Charoite - Change, in behavior, in acceptance of need to change

  • Blue or Golden Topaz - Helpful in correcting unwanted, unloving behavior patterns.

​

Step 7  - Humility
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
​

  • Clear Quartz - The symbol of Universal Wisdom, and Healing. This stone amplifies heart felt prayers, wishes and positive visualizations. Keeps you in touch with your spiritual side, and reminds you that you are a spiritual being, having a human experience. All spiritual pursuits can be stimulated and amplified using this stone's energy. It helps you to be receptive to higher guidance.

​

Step 8  - Forgiveness 
Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
​

I personally believe the hardest part of "becoming willing" in this step is letting go of the resentments, anger, and bitterness we feel toward the very people we are trying to make the amends to. Rationalization, justification, and self righteous anger can keep us stuck on this step a long time.Help with this step:

​

  • All Agates: Blue Lace, White Lace, and Moss Agate,

  • Forgiveness: Moss Agate, Amethyst, Rhodochrosite

  • Resentments: Agates

  • Bitterness - Agates

  • Peridot - Helps us deal with anger, jealousy, envy, and other strong emotions particularly in relationships with others, which might get in our way or "becoming willing" to make amends to those people. In healing these past hurts, and getting these strong emotions under control, we begin to see the part we played in any given situation on a more detached intellectual level rather than an emotional level.

​

Step 9 - Freedom
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
​

I believe this step becomes possible when love replaces anger, fear, and guilt. The process of amends releases the burden of guilt and remorse we have carried for so long, and finally sets us FREE. This is the step that gives you WINGS.Help with this step:

​

​

Step 10  - Perseverance
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
​

  • Obsidian - Ego - Obsidian is an "ego buster" - reveling the truth about ourselves in a none too gentle manner. Sometimes, an illness can be treated with medication, and other times, surgery is required. Obsidian cuts through all our defenses and exposes us naked to ourselves. Wear obsidian to stay "right size". Obsidians forceful dose of cutting reality can be softened if necessary for shy or timid people by combining it with Aventurine, Rose Quartz, or Chrysocolla.

  • The other alternative is to use Snowflake Obsidian, which has many of the same properties but a softer touch.

  • Pearls - Understanding - Pearls symbolize the best within us. Honesty, Purity, Wisdom and Integrity. They remind us to walk with Dignity. Pearls not only provide a mirror in which to see ourselves, but give us insight into how we appear to others.

​

Step 11  - Patience
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
​

  • Meditation stones are Water and Air stones: Dark Green, Blue, Indigo, or Purple Iolite - Higher Awareness - One of its primary functions is to stimulate us as spiritual beings, guiding us to a higher awareness, and awakening us to the inner knowledge that so patiently waits within each of us.

  • Turquoise - Native cultures held the belief that by wearing it the human mind becomes one with the universe.

  • Azurite - improves communication with the spiritual world. (thereby promoting conscious contact) Kyanite - If you have difficulty in sitting still, your mind drifting to you current worries, or being distracted while meditating,

  • Kyanite is one of the best stones to use. Its ability to calm and quiet the chattering, busy mind is unequaled.

  • Jade - Meditation - Jade is said to encourage self-realization and help us to recognize ourselves as spiritual beings.

  • Serenity - Aquamarine

  • Balance - Aquamarine, Green Aventurine,

​

Step 12  - Love 
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
​

  • Labradorite - The FLASH will remind you of this stones purpose. Like "a flash of light in the darkness", Labradorite will help reveal your spiritual destiny to you. Labradorite brings forth each person's strengths to share with the world, and each other. (to carry the message... to those who still suffer...)

  • Azurite - Not only does it help you to understand spiritual ideals, but also helps you to communicate those ideas to others in a way that other people can understand.

  • Dumortierite: It will assist you in communicating spiritual concepts to others and better understanding unusual or mystical events you experience.

  • Enhance Communication Skills to Carry the Message: Aquamarine
