Chakras bring in and emit energy that flows in our everyday lives. Each one of the Chakra’s correlates to a different part of our being and life. In a time of struggle or change, the energy may stop flowing freely and prompt the Charka(s) to become blocked or imbalanced.
These blockages can manifest in many negative ways. For example, the throat chakra is firmly linked to communication. Therefore, if you are in a relationship where you can’t say how you sincerely feel, you may lose your voice physically. They are also connected to your emotions and aura, so blocks may be deep rooted.
The Chakra system is attributable to one of the most authoritative Hindu texts, the Vedas- from the second millennium BCE and is present in Tantric Buddhism. Whenever a belief system has survived for that long, there must be the reasoning for it.

Certain crystals can be used on and around each Chakra to bring it into balance. For example, sometimes a Chakra can be under energised or over energised. The crystal restores it back to a natural flow.
When our chakras are out of alignment, we feel unease in the physical body, mental or emotional body.
HOW I WORK WITH CRYSTALS AND CHAKRA’S
I work intuitively and assess the whole client and what is going on for them. I then pick a crystal for their healing properties and what the person needs on each Chakra at that time. It isn’t just a yellow crystal for the yellow solar plex. However, this is a great way to start. So, for example, if you had a job interview and your belly was a little nervous, where your solar plex is, you may be needing a little confidence to get through the interview. Therefore, a yellow citrine crystal used with intent to help that solar plexus (your personal power) boost your confidence for the day would be a great choice.
But working on a deeper level in my therapy sessions is not just about matching the colour of the crystal to the Chakra colour. I work on an individual basis and can use tumbled stones on the Chakra or in a web or grid. Sometimes a pendulum is needed or one of my other tools to bring the chakra system into alignment. If you feel like you may be in need of a Chakra rebalance, then book in with me for a healing session.
