Meditation and Crystal Healing
How Meditation With Crystals Is Accomplished
You can use crystals to heighten your meditation experience. This is because they provide different types of healing energy. There are some religions and cultures that believe that the body has several energy centers known as chakras. Each chakra links to different energies and organs in the body. There are some crystals that are believed to have healing properties. They can heal different organs and unblock the energies in the body. Before performing meditation with crystals, it is advisable that you know where and how to place them.
The hematite, which is a black stone, should be placed on your base chakra. It is situated in the pelvic region. Another stone that you will be using is the carnelian. It has a reddish-orange hue. Place it on your spleen chakra. It is located between the belly button and the base chakra.
Put the citrine stone on the area above the belly button, also known as the solar plexus. The stone is yellow in color and usually has a healing effect on that energy center. At the center of your chest, you will place two stones. They are the rose quartz and amazonite. They are pink and green respectively. Place them in such a way that they are aligned with your heart. They will help unblock your heart chakra.
Blue lace agate should be placed on your throat chakra. It is located at the center of the throat. Place the purple stone, known as the amethyst on the third eye. It is situated on your forehead between your eyes. Finally, place the crystal quartz on a pillow that is situated behind the bed. It corresponds to the crown chakra.
Once all the crystals are in position, inhale and exhale slowly until you feel as if your body is sinking into the floor. Imagine that your heart is slowing down and your body starting to float. Visualize a sun on top of your head and a bright white light engulfing you. Continue this process of visualizing energy emanating from each chakra until you feel a complete synchrony between them.
If you want to meditate with a specific goal in mind, you do not have to use all the stones. Instead, choose a serene place where you will not be disturbed for about an hour. Select what you want to focus on during the meditation process. For example, you might want to concentrate on healing, for clarity when you are stressed or to calm the mind among many others.
Select the appropriate gemstones according to your purpose. Sit in a comfortable position. You can hold the gemstones in your hands or place them in front of you where you can see them. Inhale deeply severally so as to clear the mind and start meditating by concentrating on your goals.
Once you are through with your meditation session, take some deep breaths and allow your focus to go back to normal. That is how meditation with crystals is done. All you need to do is know the healing properties of each gemstone.
