Which Crystals Resonate With Your Beautiful Soul?
Updated: Sep 12
Have you ever considered adding crystals to your self-care practice? They are so much more than pretty rocks! You may discover, as others have, that they are nurturing gifts from Mother Earth. Different colors correspond to different chakras (energy centers) within the etheric body, the energy layer closest to the physical body. There are 7 traditional (personal) chakras (see the table below) that govern how we react - or respond - to the world around us. Emotions are energy and how we express that energy (positively or negatively) is our choice. Sometimes the chakras are grouped into lower and upper chakras. The lower chakras (root and sacral) are below the waist and are grounded in the physical. The upper chakras are above the waist and govern emotional functioning, intuitive insight, and spiritual awareness. Some crystals balance all chakras, while others typically correspond to specific chakras associated with the same color.
Chakra | Location | Associated Color | Crystal Energy |
Root or Base (Muladhara) | Base of spine | Red | Stimulates and strengthens |
Sacral (Svadhisthana) | ~ 3 inches below naval | Orange | Activates and releases |
Solar Plexus (Manipura) | ~ 2 inches above naval | Yellow | Energizes and empowers |
Heart (Anahata) | Middle of chest towards base of breastbone | Green (or Pink) | Calms and rebalances |
Throat (Vishuddha) | Center of throat above Adam's apple | Blue | Calms and clarifies |
Third Eye or Brow (Ajna) | Between and above eyebrows | Indigo | Clarifies and intuits |
Crown (Sahasrara) | Top of head | Violet | Integrates and aligns |
If you are drawn to a particular crystal color, your intuition may be guiding you to something you need to regain energetic balance. When it comes to selecting crystals, always trust what you are drawn towards. It is less important to know the specifics of the crystal properties or chakra associations. There are plenty of crystal encyclopedias and guides out there if you are ready to learn more. The details can provide greater insights, but they are not necessary to energetically benefit from your crystal companions. In my own experience, I have always been drawn to the crystal(s) that I need at a particular time in my life. When I use my mind instead of my heart and get lost in the details, I end up with a lot of extra stones I don't actually need. So which crystals resonate with your beautiful soul?
