How Chakras & Crystals can Influence your Wellbeing

Unsure what chakra influences which aspect of your wellbeing? Then this guide is for you as it gives an overview of each chakra and which crystals are ideal to support them.

Root Chakra

The Root Chakra, the first of the seven main energy centers in the body, is the foundation for our overall wellbeing. Located at the base of the spine, this energy centre is associated with our sense of grounding, stability and security. It is the anchor connecting us to the physical world and shaping our feelings of safety and survival. When the Root Chakra is balanced, it fosters a deep sense of rootedness and resilience, enabling us to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

Use black crystals such as Black Onyx or earthy Red Jasper to help balance this chakra.

Sacral Chakra

The Sacral Chakra, residing in the lower abdomen, is a vital energy centre that governs our creativity, passion and emotional wellbeing. As the second chakra in our energy system, it holds the key to our capacity for joy, pleasure and connection. The Sacral Chakra is linked to our creativity and sensuality, encouraging us to embrace the flow of life with enthusiasm. When balanced, it empowers us to express our emotions authentically and experience joy. By nurturing the sacral chakra, we unlock the potential for a more vibrant, expressive and emotionally fulfilling life, allowing our creative energy to flow freely to improve our overall sense of wellbeing.

Use orange crystals or Tiger’s Eye to alleviate fear, enhance your creativity and bring about courage.

Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra, situated in the upper abdomen, plays a role in our drive, confidence and self esteem. It empowers us to assert ourselves in the world and navigate challenges with courage. When balanced, it fuels a strong sense of self worth and integrity, enabling us to pursue our goals with clarity and determination. Exploring and nurturing the Solar Plexus Chakra invites us to embrace our inner strength and make empowered choices. By connecting with this energy centre, we can unlock the potential for greater self confidence, resilience and align with our authentic selves.

Heart Chakra

The Heart Chakra, residing in the center of the chest, holds the key to love, compassion and emotional balance. Serving as the bridge between the lower and upper chakras, the Heart Chakra supports connections with others and with ourselves. When in harmony, it allows us to experience unconditional love. It allows us to feel open and deserving of love, to love ourselves and to give love openly. Nurturing the Heart Chakra opens the door to healing emotional wounds, promoting forgiveness, building empathy and embracing a more compassionate way of being.

Rose Quartz radiates the healing frequency of unconditional love and green crystals such as Aventurine or Malachite support the Heart Chakra with their healing, forgiving energy.

Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra, positioned at the base of the throat, is the fifth chakra responsible for communication, self expression and our authentic voice. Acting as the gateway between our inner thoughts and the outer world, the Throat Chakra empowers us to speak our truths and express our creative ideas clearly. When balanced, it encourages open and honest communication, allowing us to speak our truth with confidence and integrity and to listen well. By aligning this energy centre we unlock the potential for improved communication and better connections.

To support this chakra use light blue or crystals such as Aquamarine, Blue Lace Agate or Amazonite which encourage truth and calm the mind to improve communication.
