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 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.

Heal by Shape: Crystal Healing Wands

Crystal Healing Wands

Since ancient times, crystal wands have been used for healing by healers all over the world. Today, crystal wands are still a common tool used by healers around the world.

Wands come in many different shapes and sizes, and also in many varieties of gemstone as well. Wands may be long or short, and the cylinder can be smooth or faceted. They can be pointed at one end and rounded at the other, or they can be rounded on both ends, or pointed at both ends. Some wands are wider at one end and tapered at the other, while others are not. Most wands are shaped and polished, but rough natural pointed crystals, such as quartz, can also be used as a healing wand.

Healing wands gather and direct energy. The elongated, cylindrical shape of a wand enables the stone or crystal to direct its healing energy in a straight line, and the wand's point focuses the crystal's energy so that it can be used on specific areas of the body.

Using Crystal Wands for Healing

Crystal wands can be used in many different methods of healing. They can be used to heal the entire body or aura, or they can be used on a specific area of the body, or on a particular chakra. They can be used to scan the aura and the chakras to locate blockages, and then cleanse and heal them.

Wands can also be used in massage healing. Massaging the body with a stone wand helps to release tension from the body, while at the same time the stone's healing energy is transferred to the body. Smooth, round wands that are rounded on at least one end are the best to use in massage healing as they will not scratch or cause other discomfort.

Pointed wands are good to use in reflexology, a healing method in which the stone's point is held at certain pressure points, mostly on the hands and feet, to heal ailments in particular areas of the body.

Selecting the Right Healing Crystal Wand
 

Wands come in a wide variety of stones and crystals, so there are many different wands to choose from. Different stones have different healing energies and, therefore, have different effects on the body, aura, and chakras. As each gemstone has different healing properties, it is nice to have a variety of wands to use for a variety of different purposes.
