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.
