CHAKRA MEDITATION WITH CRYSTALS

Crystals have been found in the tombs and temples of ancient Egyptians; references to the magical powers of stone to care in Greek mythology; and Crystals were mined through out the Middle Ages for the magical and healing properties these beautiful "flowers of the mineral world" have been used for healing purposes throughout the ages and a cross cultural boundaries.

When you choosing crystals for a Chakra balancing you may find it useful to select Stones are traditionally traditionally related to each chakra, but it is most important to select crystals that "feel right" to you as you hold them. Be clear that your intention is to balance your chakras, and trust your intuition.

First, cleanse all the crystals you think he may want to use for the chakra balancing sitting comfortably on the floor, lay the crystals in front of you in a semicircle. As you focus on each charkra in turn, beginning at the base chakra and working upwards to the Crown, select the crystal that appeals post to you at that moment.

When you choose the crystal for that chakra, hold the crystal in your hands and position your hands over the chakra. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, allowing yourself to feel the energy of your chakra and imagining it's spinning motion. Visualise it gradually becoming stronger, steadier, and smoother in its movement. Trust that it is filling with exactly the right amount of energy for you at this moment in time. Hold the crystal over the chakra point for as long as it feels necessary or comfortable.

When you come to the Crown chakra, imagine the energy of this chakra flowing freely throughout your entire body and integrating the energy of the other six chakras. You may like to take some time in quiet contemplation before getting up after this chakra meditation.

CLEANSING CRYSTALS

Some crystals transform energies while others absorb or transmit energies. When you cleanse your crystals, the patterns of energy that the crystals are holding (which may or may not be appropriate to your current situation) are released. So, it is a good idea to cleanse the crystal before a meditation.

There are a number of different ways to cleanse crystals, but one that is easy and effective is Place your crystals overnight in a solution of water and sea salt or fresh seawater (this is not suitable for Crystal jewelry that is set in any sort of metal).

Here is another simple method: hold the crystal, take a few moments to still your thoughts, then imagine a clear white light flowing through the crystal, taking with it any residual energy.
