Fifth Chakra: The Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra is the chakra of diplomacy, of pure relationships with others, and of playful detachment. It removes all our guilt and remorse when it is opened,  and gives us a kind and compassionate voice.

This chakra is placed in our necks, and is responsible for communication with others.

The Throat Chakra represents the need for harmony and collective living becomes important. It signifies the ability of the human being to rise above petty differences and strive to experience the unity of the spirit.

The Throat Chakra allows us to communicate our thoughts and feelings. It is directly connected to the ability to express inner creativity. Both teaching and learning are affected by the balance of the Throat Chakra.

Chrysocolla Healing Crystal Heart

Some signs that the Throat Chakra is out of balance are:

·      Difficulty expressing oneself

·      Poor learning ability

·      Habitual lying

·      Fear, doubt, uncertainty

The color associated with the Throat Chakra is blue. Blue is the symbol of inspiration, devotion, infinity and religious pursuits. It produces calm and peace. The Throat Chakra is the origination point of the spoken word, and the expression of our feelings via communication.

All the blue healing crystal gemstones - sapphire, lapis lazuli, blue topaz, aquamarine, turquoise, chrysocolla and sodalite - are used to help open and balance  the Throat Chakra.

For healing purposes, these stones are said to aid the treatment of any blockage or disease of the throat. It is also said to aid with internal bleeding and nervous conditions.

Deep blue indicates intense power, and light blue (or azure) symbolizes high levels of inspiration.

The Fourth Chakra: Healing with the Heart

The fourth or Heart Chakra, is physically located in the center of our chests. The Heart Chakra is the seat of compassion, oneness and of being connected. Through the heart, we find our commonality with others, our true oneness with all things, and our ability to connect and aid in healing. It is truly the chakra where all healing comes from.

Equally important is our ability to have love and compassion for ourselves. Just as being able to give unconditionally cannot exist without our ability to receive unconditionally, we must learn to care for ourselves in order to give to others. Through meditation, we can learn to create a continuous flow of energy through the chakra, bringing about the balance that we need and healing our own blockages.

Having a blocked Heart Chakra can result in many imbalances, including feelings of resentment, anger and frustration. In other words, our ability to give and receive becomes unbalanced.

Examining our heart relationships can be a very powerful exercise.

Open your heart, knowing that you are well protected and that energy can

flow evenly both ways.

Rose Quartz, Pink Tourmaline, Green Aventurine, Malachite and Jade healing crystals are all excellent gemstones to use when working with the Heart Chakra.

Healing the Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra is a center of personal strength, learning and comprehension. It guides you through life by creating a strong sense of self, setting personal boundaries and building self esteem and willpower. The ability to bring change into your life and to the world is born within this chakra.

The color for the Solar Plexus Chakra is yellow, and the Solar Plexus Chakra is located midway between the navel and the base of the sternum.

Citrine Crystal Sphere

Fire is the element of the Solar Plexus Chakra. Fire purifies the past and energizes progress towards mental awareness and spiritual development. This chakra is where we get our gut instincts, which guide us during difficult times.

A balanced Solar Plexus Chakra boosts self esteem, respect for others, calmness and initiative. It can help you feel friendly, joyful and confident. An unbalanced Solar Plexus Chakra can threaten your self confidence, and invite concerns about what others think of you. Lack of yellow energy may cause depression and confusion that also have bodily manifestations such as digestive, liver and respiratory problems.

Ways to strengthen your yellow energy include aromatherapy and the use of healing crystals.

Healing crystal gemstones that help balance and heal the Solar Plexus Chakra include citrine, imperial topaz, amber, tigers eye, sulphur, yellow jasper and ametrine.

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.

Healing Crystal Shapes: Towers and Pyramids

There are a variety of natural and created healing crystal shapes to choose from for your healing needs. Two of the more structural choices include the pyramid (considered a sacred shape) and healing crystal towers. 

Healing Crystal Tourmaline Pyramid

Rare Sacred Super Seven Amethyst Tower

Healing Crystal Pyramids

The very shape of the pyramid is inherently powerful. When crystals are shaped into a pyramid, this allows you to focus your mental, physical, and emotional energies through its apex, or tip.  The base of the pyramid provides a very grounding influence. Also, to maximize its focusing power, you may want to program, or “charge” your pyramid crystal to achieve certain goals. Pyramid crystals can also be used to fend off negative energy. Many people prefer the smoky quartz pyramids, the clear quartz pyramids, and the obsidian pyramids.


Healing Crystal Towers

The straight, tall, tower-like appearance of the tower healing amplifies energy and focuses it out through the apex, or top of the point. These crystals help people attain or maintain a good mental, physical, and emotional balance. It is also believed that tower healing crystals help reduce negative energy, making it a useful shape for locations like the workplace, or any room in which there could be stress or conflict. The amethyst healing crystal tower and the lapis lazuli healing crystal tower are two very beautiful and popular choices.
