Healing Crystals for the Second Chakra: Sacral Chakra

-->

Carnelian Massage Stone for the Sacral Chakra

The Second or Sacral Chakra is located just below your navel, and is associated with feelings and emotions, gut-instincts and intuition, creativity, passion and sexuality.

People who easily feel and express with their own emotions, as well as connect well with others on an emotional level tend to have this chakra open and flowing.  They tend to trust others while maintaining proper boundaries.  They let their feeling flow and listen to the messages
their emotions are giving them.

When the second chakra is blocked, it often indicates someone who is closed down on an emotional level.  Maybe that person has had painful experiences and no longer trusts.  They may not trust their own emotions, or they may not trust others enough to make emotional connections.  When this happens, one may experience lack of creativity and passion, and even depression.

Emotions are important messages to us, and the energy of those messages wants to move!  We are taught that certain emotions are okay, but we are also taught  that some emotions are bad.  These beliefs about what is alright and not alright to feel can block the Second Chakra and keep us from
being emotionally healthy. Clearing the Second Chakra can give us the freedom to fully express who

we are and what is emotionally and creatively important in our lives.

Healing crystals for the Sacral Chakra include Amber, Brecciated Jasper, Bronzite,Carnelian, Orange Chalcedony, Citrine, Goldstone, Orange Aventurine, OrangeCalcite, Orange Coral, Orange Jasper, Orange Sunstone, Rutilated Quartz, TigersEye and Topaz.

Chakra Healing Crystals Solutions: The Root Chakra

The Base or Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine. It is also known as the First Chakra, as it is the first of the seven major chakras.

This chakra is associated with feeling comfortable sexually as well as with your ability to feel grounded. This is the area of the body where your ambitions, interest in life and sex drive originates.

The Root Chakra relates to our sex drive, procreation, circulation, survival, base instincts and protection.

It is strongly associated with the colors red or black, but there are some stones of other colors that aid this area.

How Healing Crystals and Chakras Work

Many mysteries surround the energy currents of the body. Much confusion, and even fear, arises when metaphysical topics enter mainstream discussions. Largely, this is due to the fact that fear is simply a symptom of uncertainty about the unknown. Understanding healing crystals and their function can help to lift the veil of fear and doubt surrounding this practice.

Healing crystals work to absorb negativity and cleanse energy centers of the body. The seven main energy centers, or chakras, determine the sense of balance that an individual feels. A chakra that is clouded or closed represents an area of life that is presenting difficulties. The ability to identify and remedy the chakra problem can subsequently support a re-balance in life challenges, and ultimately help to eradicate the problems altogether when understanding healing crystals improves.

Chakras can be envisioned as seven individually colored pinwheels. Each should be spinning evenly in a positive and open direction: not too slowly or too quickly. If compared, however, the root and first chakra should spin more slowly than the seventh crown chakra.

Aligning with the spinal column, from the coccyx to the top of the head, the chakras are positioned at relatively equal intervals from one another. Their color vibration is said to radiate out from center to front and back. The color of each chakra has complements in its counterpart crystals.

The root chakra embraces the color red, which represents things fundamental such as food and shelter and materialistic pursuits. Next, the sacral chakra embodies orange: sexuality, confidence, and creativity, just below the navel. Yellow of the solar plexus chakra glows out from beneath the lowest central portion of the ribcage. Ego, passions, anger, energy and strength come from this place.

Green or pink symbolize the heart chakra and love, located in the center of the chest. The throat chakra’s blue hue is responsible for the literal and figurative voice. Indigo and the third eye incorporate vision, success, and higher understanding. The crown chakra, at the top of the head, embodies the purple or white pure state of enlightenment and wisdom.

Laying of crystals on the energy centers is said to purge the negativity and align the energy flow. Understanding healing crystals in this way can yield better life outcomes, reduce frustration, and promote an overall sense of well-being.
