Chakra & Crystal Healing
By Connie Islin (part II)
The fifth chakra – the throat chakra (Visuddha)
The throat chakra symbolizes our ability to express ourselves. Since it links the heart chakra to the third eye charka, it represents the ability to express verbally what we think andfeel. It is the source of communication, creativity, and belief.
The color of the throat chakra are blue, light blue, and turquoise. Most of the crystals used to balance and stimulate the chakras, including blue lace agate, blue topaz, and blue
sapphire, are in these colors.
The sixth chakra – the third eye chakra (Ajna)
The sixth chakra symbolizes intuition, intellectual power, will power, and
knowledge. It is responsible for the balance between the two cerebral hemispheres – the right and the left – and between intuition, emotion, and mysticism on the one hand, and logic and reason on the other.
The colors of the third eye chakra are indigo and purple. For this reason, most of the crystals thatare used to stimulate and balance he chakras, such as sodalite, azurite, and
sugalite, are in these shades.
The seventh chakra – the crown chakra (Sasharata)
The crown chakra symbolizes enlightenment and cosmic knowledge, linking up to
the highest levels of awareness, and spiritual openness. It is located in the middle of the head, on the crown.
The colors of the seventh chakras are purple and white. For stimulating and opening the chakras, we use crystals in these colors, as well as channeling levels, such as selenite
and apophylite.
When we set about treating the chakras with crystals – cleansing, stimulating, balancing, and opening them – we can simply look at the color of the crystal in order to know the chakra for which it is appropriate.
Of course, it is possible to use the list of crystals that appears at the end of the description of the actions of each chakra in order to choose a suitable stone for our needs and
purposes.
However, if you feel that you are drawn intuitively to placing a particular stone (purified and cleansed, of course!) on a particular chakra, try it.
The possibilities for combinations and matches are endless. If by chance you need a particular stone for treating one of the chakras, and you do not have it, you can use clear quartz crystal.
You will have to program it with the same properties that you wanted in the crystal that you do not have.
