Chakra and Crystal Meditation

Have you ever gazed into the depths of a crystal? It can offer you instant clarity and stillness of the mind. Providing a point of soft focus, crystals help you to stay attentively in the present moment without judging it or needing it to change.

The unique qualities of each crystal assist in switching off your mind's chatter or compulsive thinking. They can ease your anxieties, dispel your anger, show you how to forgive and let the past be, and so much more. Try one of my favourite chakra and crystal meditations below to connect you to yourself at a very deep level.

You may get a sense of clearing the throat and pouring out your third eye. Helps to expand and strength the auric field. Also known for its protective properties.

AMETHYST: Placed on the third eye.

FLUORITE: Place one in each hand.

Balancing and expanding with feelings of content. The words “Be” come to mind. Works on protecting all layers of the auric field.

Instructions

Once all the crystals are carefully placed on the body you are ready to begin a chakra meditation.

There are numerous chakra meditations but if you like a guided meditation, Doreen Virtue has a great morning and evening chakra meditation. I personally love this one. There are also ones you can listen to on YOUTUBE, especially if new to this type of meditation and chakras. Good for getting to know the position, energy and properties each chakra holds (which I'll write more about soon!)

If you already know the positions, colours and properties of each chakra you can simply do a colouring breathing meditation to activate and strengthen the chakras.

Or you can simply lay there with beautiful gentle music on and beginning with some deep breathing then letting your awareness drift to each stone placed on the body and with each inhale, breathe in the divine life force and goodness of that crystal and with each exhale, release any old and stuck energy.

Lay their and bathe in the magnificent energy each crystal gives. Observe the energy and shifts taking place.

Sometimes I find it that relaxing and powerful I drift off into a deep sleep and let the healing take place there.
