Everything you need to know about the chakras
Chakra is a term that means “wheel of light” or “disc” and is mainly used in energy medicines. These bring together traditional treatment methods practiced in different Asian countries such as China.
We have taken an interest in all these arts and doctrines, and have brought together some of their tools in this collection dedicated to meditative spiritual practices.
What is chakra?
First of all, it must be emphasized that there are several chakras. These are the energy centers or points of passage of vital energy on the human body. They are located along the spine, from the base of the spine to the top of the skull. Their main function is to receive this vital energy and ensure its distribution throughout the body.
When the 7 chakras are in perfect harmony, vital energy can flow correctly. This provides physical, mental and emotional well-being. On the other hand, an imbalance in the energy centers could hinder the circulation of this energy. This will have a harmful impact on health. It should actually be mentioned that each chakra corresponds to a particular organ or part of the body.
What are the 7 chakras?
The root chakra
Also called Muladhara in Sanskrit, it is located at the bottom of the spine. This chakra is represented by the color red. It is associated with stability, physical strength and vitality. This is the chakra that can ensure your survival and your ability to keep both feet on the ground.
The sacral chakra
Svadhisthana in Sanskrit, located just below the navel. This second chakra is represented by the color orange or black. It is associated with serenity, creativity, sensuality, emotions and sexuality.
The solar plexus chakra
The third chakra, also known as Manipura, is symbolized by the color yellow. This energy point is located between the navel and the sternum. It is associated with feelings, will, power as well as mental abilities, including self-esteem and self-confidence.
The heart chakra
Anahata in Sanskrit is the 4th chakra and is located at chest level. As the name suggests, it is linked to emotions like joy, love and forgiveness. Rose is its color. It contributes to the functioning of the cardiac and pulmonary systems. It is also associated with the thymus which regulates the immune system.
The throat chakra
Located in the center of the neck, it is also known as the laryngeal chakra or Vishuddha in Sanskrit. It is symbolized by the color turquoise or navy blue. It is the chakra of communication, eloquence and self-expression.
The frontal chakra
Well known as the third eye chakra, it is called Ajna in Sanskrit. Regarding its location, it is placed on the forehead, between the two eyebrows. It is the chakra of clairvoyance, intuition and the realization of one's inner being. Symbolized by the purple tone, it is also associated with the head, the pineal gland and the optic nerves.
The crown chakra
Sahasrara in Sanskrit, the crown chakra or sky chakra is located at the top of the skull. It is represented by the color white and is considered the chakra of the universal. It provides the connection between the mind and the universe. It is therefore associated with time, space, spiritual energy, beauty and well-being.
What is the importance of chakra harmonization?
As mentioned previously, the harmonization of the 7 chakras allows a fluid and optimal circulation of vital energy. It can reach all organs and it also allows a balance between the physical body, the mind and the mental body.
If one of the chakras is blocked, there is an energy imbalance. In fact, vital energy will no longer be able to circulate freely. This will obviously impact mental, emotional and physical health. However, stress, physical fatigue and many other negative emotions such as fear and anxiety could cause the chakras to be blocked.
Harmonize the chakras with natural stones
How to use natural stones to open the chakras and harmonize them? The first thing to do is select the minerals to use. Then, simply place the selected stone at the location of the chakra to be worked.
If you're having trouble determining which chakra to act on, don't worry: we found this particular bracelet made from stones acting on each of the chakras. With him, there is no doubt, you will definitely do the right thing!
For the operation to be successful, it is strongly recommended to isolate yourself in a calm and soothing place. You must also adopt a comfortable position. The ideal is to lie down so that the chakra stones can act effectively.
When you place a crystal on an energy point, you will bring positive energy into your body and eliminate negative waves. A good dose of concentration is necessary in order to feel the circulation of energies and their vibration. This is why it is advisable to start the healing session with a meditation.
What about the length of the session? It can last around 10 minutes. This is more than enough to benefit from the benefits of natural stones. Two or three sessions per week are also enough.

Natural stones and their effects on the chakras
Natural stones are healing tools used in an alternative medicine called lithotherapy. We are also interested in lithotherapy, and have dedicated this special collection bringing together stones and crystals to it.
In short, stones contain multiple benefits and can also act on the chakras.
What are the benefits of stones?
Like other alternative medicines, lithotherapy focuses on natural care. Above all, it uses the power of natural stones to improve well-being and optimize the body's ability to achieve healing. Crystals are indeed real mines of positive and warm energies.
There are different types of natural stones and each of them has its own virtues. For example, labradorite is effective in boosting memory, reducing headaches and stimulating intuition. Jade, on the other hand, is a stone capable of restoring inner peace or bringing wisdom.
What are the effects of crystals on the chakras?
The real question that arises is this: what is the connection between stones and chakras? In reality, crystals act on energy centers. Indeed, they are capable of ensuring the alignment of the chakras, purifying them and eliminating blockages that could prevent the circulation of vital energy in the body.
However, it must be emphasized that each chakra corresponds to one or more stones in particular. In other words, the use of lithotherapy in the harmonization of energy points requires a certain caution. You must carefully choose the crystals to use.
The stones that correspond to each chakra
Depending on the problem that presents itself, you will need to identify the chakra concerned. This then allows you to know which mineral stone to use, but also a whole bunch of other things.
Look for example at this link made by the karmaweather site between chakras and colors, or this one which links them to our food : clearly, certain things must be done to act on specific chakras, and others not.
In short, here are some tips that could make your task easier.
Stones associated with the root chakra
In general, blockage of the root chakra results in discomfort in the lower limbs, high blood pressure or dysfunction of the sexual organs. It can also manifest as anxiety, insecurity, selfishness, procrastination or fear.
To open this chakra, you can use red or black colored stones. This is the case for red jasper, bull's eye stone, ruby, garnet, obsidian, black tourmaline and smoky quartz.
Stones associated with the sacral chakra
An imbalance of the sacral chakra manifests itself through stress, great emotionality, lack of affection, melancholy, loss of joy of living or even sexual disorders. It also promotes aggressive behavior and lack of creativity.
To remedy this, you can rely on the energetic power of orange-colored stones. These include orange calcite, topaz, carnelian, amber and sunstone. The combination of amazonite and aventurine can also restore the functioning of the base chakra.
Stones associated with the solar plexus chakra
When the solar plexus chakra is out of balance, it causes lack of self-confidence and loss of self-esteem. It can also make you hateful, indecisive, suspicious and proud. On a physical level, a blocked solar plexus chakra can cause digestive disorders or blood circulation problems.
To open this chakra, it is advisable to use yellow stones. This is the case for citrine, yellow jade, calcite, tiger's eye and lemon amber.
Stones associated with the heart chakra
The imbalance of the heart chakra gives rise to many negative emotions. It also promotes behavioral changes. You might become self-centered, possessive, narcissistic, materialistic, or lonely. Blocking this chakra also promotes heart problems.
To open this chakra, green or pink stones are preferred. You can opt for unakite, emerald, morganite, malachite, green aventurine, rose quartz or even rhodonite.
Stones associated with the throat chakra
The imbalance of the throat chakra manifests itself by aggressive behavior, shyness, nervousness or even bad faith. It can also cause throat pain, slurred speech, or other problems with the thyroid gland.
The blue stones will allow you to restore order. This is the case for aquamarine, blue topaz, blue calcite, celestine, turquoise, angelite and chalcedony.
Stones associated with the third eye chakra
In general, third eye chakra imbalance is linked to high exposure to magnetic waves emanating from electronic devices. This could harm eye health. But it can also make you indecisive and irrational.
To open the frontal chakra, you should turn to precious or semi-precious stones with an indigo blue, dark blue or purple tone. This is the case for kyanite, lapis lazuli, sodalite, azurite, apatite and blue sapphire.
Stones associated with the crown chakra
The imbalance of the 7th chakra results in a strange and unpleasant feeling of being disconnected from the real world. It's like you don't belong there anymore and you'll feel like you're in prison.
To find well-being, you must open the chakra using white or purple stones. Among others, we should mention amethyst, milky quartz, lepidolite, rock crystal and moonstone.
Tips for optimizing the effectiveness of treatment
At first, you may have difficulty feeling the benefits of this energy treatment. But over time, you will be able to detect the slightest tingling caused by the contact of the stone on your skin. Obviously, you have to learn to listen to yourself to take full advantage of this treatment session.
If you want more advice for purifying your stones, here is an article from a lithotherapy site which will provide you with some interesting food for thought. Otherwise, we also have some advice for you.
You can also start by establishing a connection with your chosen stone. To do this, you must sit comfortably and hold the stone in your hand. You must observe it carefully to feel every vibration it produces.
For the stones to always be effective, they must be cleaned and recharged after each use. How to proceed ? Purification can be carried out in various ways. In general, you must place the stone in contact with running water or salt. You can also bury it in the ground.
Be careful though! Some crystals cannot tolerate water or salt. It is therefore necessary to find out about this. Regarding recharging, exposure to sunlight or moonlight is the most common. But you can also place the stone on a pile of rock crystals or near a geode.
