“BALANCE YOUR CHAKRAS”

Annie Wilkinson-Gill from The Crystal Buddha shows us how crystals can be used to align your chakras

Chakra balancing is the process of restoring the harmonious flow of energy across the chakra system. The word chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means ‘wheel’ and refers to energy points in your body. The seven major chakras run from the base of your spine to the top of your head and if these get blocked, it is said that you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.

Chakra crystals are a good starting point for anyone beginning their spiritual journey. Chakra kits are made up of a group of gems, which can be used to unblock and align a person’s chakras. At The Crystal Buddha you can buy kits ready-made, or if you'd rather, you can put your own together. They are a great spiritual tool and there is no correct or incorrect way for chakra stones to be used. Why not try one of the following ideas?

• Meditate with your crystals, envisage the correlating colours swirling around each individual chakra.

• Place the stones on your physical body and position them at the seven chakra points.

• Wear them as a pendant or bracelet or keep them on your person.

• Create a crystal grid.

• Sleep with them under your pillow.
