Before we get started with how to use 7 chakra healing crystals, here are their chakra meanings: 

7 Best Crystals for Each Chakra

Seeing the many crystals associated with each chakra may be overwhelming if you’re new to crystal healing. But it’s easy to understand if you focus on one crystal per chakra.

Root Chakra Crystal: Red Jasper 

Red Jasper is a balancing stone that tethers you to Mother Gaia with the root chakra energy. It also gives you courage, stamina, confidence, stability, focus, security, health, and strength.

Moreover, this crystal is ruled by the God of Energy – Mars, and the Fire Element. 

Sacral Chakra Crystal: Carnelian 

Blazing with a fire inside, Carnelian is the best crystal for beginners to open the sacral chakra. It fills you with creativity, passion, courage, vitality, confidence, and commitment by awakening your life force or Kundalini energy.  

Solar Plexus Chakra Crystal: Citrine 

Yellow crystals like Citrine are believed to awaken your inner power. By working on the Solar Plexus chakra with Citrine, you’ll find physical health, strength, stamina, luck, prosperity, confidence, and motivation in life. 

Heart Chakra Crystal: Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is the best choice for finding unconditional love in and around your heart. The Pink Quartz crystal is best for support, comfort, healing, energy, self-love, friendship, and deep healing for trauma. It’s ruled by two elements – Earth and Water.

Throat Chakra: Turquoise 

The most sacred major chakra in the seven chakra system, the Throat Chakra stands for truth through self-expression. It’s great for charging people, places, chakras, and things with positive affirmations. Turquoise attracts confidence, truth, protection, communication skills, and self-esteem.

Third Eye Crystal: Lapis Lazuli 

When you go higher up in the seven chakra system, you’ll find the third eye opens your inner vision or sixth sense. You’ll discover intuition, clairvoyance, protection, spiritual awareness, and psychic abilities with Lapis Lazuli.

Crown Chakra Crystal: Amethyst 

Amethyst is synonymous with the purple and Crown chakra for most crystal users, because it’s a high-vibration crystal for enlightenment. 

Amethyst broadens your mind and spirit to welcome positivity, wisdom, psychic powers, spirit contact, protection, and cleansing into your life.

How to Use the 7 Chakra Crystals? 10 Simple Ways 

Now you know why you should open the seven chakras with crystals. But how do you actually use a chakra crystal? 

While there are endless ways to use crystals for chakra, aura, physical, mental, and spiritual healing, I’ll tell you my ten favorite ways next! 

Jewelry 

First, most chakra crystals are available as rings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and even tiaras. So all you need to do to charge your chakra with crystals is by wearing the crystal jewelry on, or near, the chakra location.

The following table shows where to wear your crystal jewelry on the body:

Elemental Charging

Every chakra is associated with a specific element, such as fire, water, air, earth, light, space, and thoughts. So, you can cleanse and charge your crystal using energy rituals associated with their ruling elements.

Visualization and Meditation 

A good technique for using 7 chakra crystals is visualization. Essentially, you focus on the thought of clearing or activating your chakra with the help of your crystal.

Each chakra is represented by a specific color of lotus, its petals, and other characteristics. You can use the chart below to meditate with 7 chakra crystals.

Mantras and Affirmations 

Do you know there are seed mantras associated with every chakra? You can chant mantras, verses, prayers, or affirmations to cleanse and charge your chakras with crystals. 

If you don’t connect with the seed mantra, write your positive affirmation. Then, hold the crystal in your hand and chant the mantra, or the affirmation, by the seven chakras.

Reiki 

Reiki is an energy ritual for channeling positive energies from the universe into your chakra locations. Practitioners use Reiki chakra crystals associated with specific chakras to cleanse, heal, protect, or nourish your mind, body, and spirit. 

Here’s where the seven chakra crystals are placed on the body during Reiki:

Feng Shui

By placing crystals by their associated chakras and Feng Shui directions, you can attract health, harmony, success, joy, prosperity, love, and abundance into your space.

Here’s how to use the 7 chakra crystals using Feng Shui: 

Yoga Poses 

Yoga is an exercise or energy ritual where postures, gestures, and breathwork come into play. Keeping the healing crystals on your yoga mat before the session allows you to charge your chakras and crystals easily. 

Try the following yoga poses to charge with the seven chakra crystals.

Chakra Bowls 

Each of the seven primary chakras is associated with specific natural resonant and solfeggio frequencies. Use the following information to charge your 7 chakra crystals by listening to music, songs, or sounds of singing bowls by their chakra frequencies. 

Crystal Grid 

One of the most powerful ways to use chakra crystals is by creating grids specific to the seven chakras. 

For instance, you can set up a grid using chakra crystals in the symbols, shapes, and lotus petals we discussed. Finally, you can activate the grid with a wand made of the same crystal.

I’ve compiled the best chakra crystals you can use to set one or more crystal chakra grids:

Sun and Moon Energies 

Sunlight and moonlight charging are simple, accessible, and easy ways to charge your 7 chakra crystals. But first, ensure your crystals are safe in the sun and overnight under the moon.

You can charge chakra crystals by holding them for a few minutes at dawn, dusk, new moons, full moons, supermoons, lunar eclipses, solar eclipses, and other special events. 

FAQ on 7 Chakras Crystals, their Meanings, and Uses 

If you’re just getting started with crystals, here are some tips and tricks to get started on the right foot.

What Crystal is Good for Chakras?

You already know from the above that every crystal is ruled by one or more of the seven chakras. So, you should use associated crystals for cleansing and charging chakras instead of randomly.

The only natural healing crystal that can open all the chakras at once is the Super Seven crystal because it’s made of seven crystals (each associated with one of the seven chakras). 

These seven crystals are – Amethyst, Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Crystal Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Cacoxenite, and Rutile. 

Which Stones are There in the 7 Chakra Bracelets?

Seven chakra bracelets are typically made from Black Obsidian, Carnelian, Tiger’s Eye, Green Aventurine, Turquoise, Sodalite, and Amethyst. 

But the selection of stones specific to chakras is based on the brand or seller. So they may substitute black obsidian with red jasper, or green aventurine with rose quartz, etc. 

How Many Chakra Crystals are There?

Humans have 114 chakras in total, which includes seven primary and several secondary chakras. The major chakras are Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown, being the primary chakras. Therefore there are 114 chakra crystals. 

How Do You Unblock Your Chakras?

You can unblock chakras using crystals, food, herbs, yoga poses, intentions, affirmations, karma, and lifestyle. But it’s better to amplify the power of meditation, yoga, affirmations, or chants with crystals. 

How Do You Choose Chakra Stones?

Beginners often find it hard to pick chakra stones with gentle and welcoming energies without help. If you feel lost, here are five steps to pick the right crystal for your chakras:

By Your Intention 

You can pick a healing crystal based on your manifestation or purpose. 

For instance, go for a Rose Quartz crystal if you’re looking for love. Alternatively, Amethyst is the best one for the crown chakra.

By Your Intuition

Your gut instinct, heart, vibes, or spirit might lead you to a crystal or vice-versa if you want to use chakra crystals. So, it’s good to pick crystals you’re naturally drawn to. You can learn about their chakras, powers, and ruling elements later.

By your Chakra Needs

Choosing crystals for your weakest, or strongest, chakra is good for flushing out negativity, or raising positivity. For instance, if you’re feeling powerless, get a Carnelian, because it awakens the life force energy. Alternatively, Turquoise is great for self-expression.

By Your Technique 

I love picking chakra crystals based on how I plan to charge the crystal. For example, crystal wands are great for grid rituals, tumbled stones for Feng Shui, mirrors for scrying (foretelling the future), and spheres for psychic abilities, etc. 

Also, choose crystals safe under the sun, in water, near the fire, and so on. 

By Your Zodiac Sign

As every zodiac sign has a power chakra, working on that first with its crystal is a good place to start. 

• Root Chakra Crystals for Capricorn and Aquarius
• Sacral Chakra Crystals for Aries and Scorpio
• Solar Plexus Chakra Crystals for Sagittarius and Pisces
• Heart Chakra Crystals for Taurus and Libra 
• Throat Chakra Crystals for Gemini and Virgo 
• Third Eye Chakra Crystals for Cancer 
• Crown Chakra Crystals for Leo
