How to Use Chakra Jewelry to Balance Your Energy

Energy imbalances and chakra blockages happen to all of us and can manifest in a variety of ways. From low self-esteem, anger, and harmful thinking patterns, to feelings of apathy and resentment, these imbalances can have a negative impact on our lives, so knowing how to address these spiritual issues and right the balances is one of the keys to a prosperous lifestyle.

Chakra jewelry can be used to help correct energy imbalances through the use of powerful healing stones and spiritual imagery. Along with positively charged intent, such pieces of energy jewelry can be a surprisingly effective way to correct your energy field and invite healing into your life.

In this guide, we will take a close look at the different chakras and detail which crystals are best suited for working with each of these energy centers of the body. We will also provide some helpful information on meditation and how this ancient mindfulness practice can assist you in cleansing your energy.

What is Chakra Jewelry?

First, it is important to know exactly what these jewelry pieces offer in terms of spiritual benefits, and how they differ from other kinds of spiritually crafted talismans and tools.

Natural gemstones have an array of intrinsic qualities that make them effective for use in spiritual practices. It is thought that various healing stones vibrate at certain frequencies that are aligned with particular chakras, which makes it easy to utilize them to positively affect our energy field.

Whether it’s due to their special atomic structure or something more esoteric in nature, crystals seem to have an array of positive and uplifting benefits when used in spiritual rituals and practices. They promote clear thinking, healthy and balanced moods, inner peace, fortitude, and are even known to help you attract better things into your life.

Where chakra jewelry differs from other kinds of spiritually-enhanced jewelry pieces is in the specific materials that are used and the intent that goes into making the item in the first place.

Not every gemstone is naturally attuned to certain chakras. There are actually very specific chakra crystals that are typically used for these purposes because they are more effective when it comes to clearing energy blockages and improving the aura in general.

For instance, if you are intending on wearing a piece of jewelry that will help you open your third eye and receive greater mental clarity, you wouldn’t want a necklace made of ruby, which has nothing to do with the Third Eye Chakra. While you might receive some unrelated positive benefits, because rubies are powerful stones in their own right, the results you would get would be erratic and not aligned with your intent.

The purpose of chakra necklaces, pendants, and bracelets is to help you specifically address issues related to your energy centers. In this way, these pieces of jewelry can help you align your energies in order to experience a greater sense of balance in your life. When your chakras are completely opened and unbothered by blockages and negative energy, it’s almost like experiencing life in a whole new dimension.

This is because such energy blockages are thought to be responsible for a myriad of ills. Feelings of depression, chaos in one’s life, a lack of creativity and confidence, and even runs of bad luck can all be attributed in different ways to how balanced your chakras are. This is one reason why so many spiritual practices tend to encompass chakra work because clearing the energy centers has such a profound impact on our health, wellness, and overall prosperity.

Understanding How Healing Crystals Relate to the Chakras

So which crystals correlate to which chakras? In this section, we will dig a little deeper into each of these importante energy centers and point out which stones are commonly associated with them.

When it comes to spiritual practices such as balancing your energy, it’s worth learning as much as possible about the subject, which will enable you to find and utilize the best tools for the job. You can use this information to enhance your life in a multitude of ways, from knowing which kind of gemstones to wear when you are feeling tired and depressed, to knowing which crystals to have around during a meditation session.

No matter what your goals are from a spiritual perspective, you can benefit from a deeper understanding of what certain crystals do and how to align your chakras properly through the use of particular tools and techniques.

It’s also worth noting that some chakra gemstones, such as the sunstone, are often utilized to improve the entire energy body, making them useful for work related to any chakra.

Crystals Associated With The Root Chakra (Muladhara)

Working with the root chakra is one of the most important steps when it comes to cleansing our energy. When the root chakra is blocked, it can be hard for energy to move throughout the rest of the chakras and nadi, or energy channels (also known as meridians).

Root Chakra problems often manifest as the lowest vibration emotions, such as rage, despair, and anxiety. By using stones with an earthy, reddish hue, you can help clear out these blockages and help promote balance throughout the body.

Stones such as garnet, mookite (also known as mookaite), and ruby are often used in jewelry designed to help this chakra. Garnet, for instance, is associated with purification and balance and is commonly used to activate the Base Chakra. The energy earrings featured above use garnet as a means of helping to clear the first chakra in order to help the rest of the body.

Crystals Associated With The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)

When the Sacral Chakra is unbalanced, the signs typically manifest as an inability to express, sexual dysfunction, a fear of intimacy, or a lack of creativity. This chakra is associated with relationships and connections, as well as our vitality.

Carnelian is one of the most reliable gemstones to work with for this chakra, as it is said to stimulate creativity and restore vitality and increase passion as well. Its beautiful orange glow resonates well with the second chakra, as do stones such as amber and orange calcite.

Crystals Associated With The Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)

Some refer to this chakra as our “energy center,” as it is associated with balance, power, control, and comfort. When the Solar Plexus Chakra is out of alignment, feelings of aggression and impulsiveness can set in. Those who have trouble in this part of their energy body often possess a victim mindset and lack motivation.

To balance this chakra, crystals such as citrine and topaz are often used. These stones, with their bright yellowish hues reflective of the sun’s light, help to warm the soul and improve self-esteem and inner joy.

One piece of finely-crafted chakra jewelry that we carry here in our store is this beautiful “Divine Lightworker” Citrine Healing Ring, which carries with it the joyous and lighthearted energies that help to open up and cleanse the Solar Plexus Chakra effectively. Wearing this could certainly help you dispel an apathetic mindset and embrace a life of happiness and higher purpose.

Crystals Associated With The Heart Chakra (Anahata)

Most of the stones associated with the Heart Chakra have a noticeably pleasant green color to them. The color of growth, compassion, and renewal, stones such as jade and green chrysoprase are most often used when working with this kind of chakra energy.

Jade in particular has a long association with abundance, growth, restoration, and kindness, which is what the Heart Chakra governs. This energy center is also often associated with healing, as well, and we find that many of the stones that resonate with this color and vibration offer similar qualities.

Love, of course, is one of the key components to understanding the meaning behind this chakra and the stones that are useful in dealing with blockages in this area of the energy body. The best chakra jewelry that addresses this energy center should utilize stones that are known to help us “open our hearts” (literally and metaphysically!) such as serpentine and green chrysoprase. Our Venus’ “Awakened Love” Necklace is perfectly suited for just this purpose, designed with Heart Chakra-aligned stones and loving intent.

Crystals Associated With The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)

The throat chakra represents our ability to communicate and express ourselves properly. When this energy center is unbalanced, it can be difficult to speak your mind, feel heard, or have your needs met.

There are a variety of bluish-colored stones that resonate well with the Throat Chakra and seem to be effective when it comes to clearing blockages in this area. Turquoise, for instance, has long been considered a spiritual tool for matters of emotional health, friendship, speech, and communication with the spiritual realm. Other stones such as apatite and labradorite also possess similar qualities and can be used to open up your throat chakra to enjoy a higher degree of connection in your life.

We have a powerful "Blessings From Heaven" Necklace that utilizes Throat Chakra stones like turquoise and labradorite in order to enhance spiritual communication. For anyone interested in working to cleanse this part of their energy body, this piece of spiritual jewelry might be the best option.

Crystals Associated With The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)

This chakra perhaps gets the most attention out of any of the others. This is because the Third Eye Chakra is associated with spiritual insight, mental strength, psychic gifts, and intuition. When this chakra is blocked, you can feel cut off from your spiritual capacities and your inner self, which can result in a feeling of being lost and without purpose.

Very often, the opening of the Third Eye is a big part of our spiritual journey, so it’s important to have the proper chakra jewelry on hand that can facilitate this process. Stones such as lapis lazuli and moonstone are recommended here, as these mystical crystals carry with them energies that seem to be ideal for stirring the Third Eye and imparting spiritual wisdom and intuition.

If you are looking for yoga jewelry that specifically addresses the Third Eye Chakra, our beautiful Lapis Visionary Seer's Energy Necklace features stunning lapis lazuli amplified by sunstone, for an effective means of unblocking this particular energy center.

Crystals Associated With The Crown Chakra (Sahaswara)

While many clear stones are associated with cleansing the crown chakra, amethyst seems to be by far the most commonly used stone for purposes related to balancing this energy center.

With its unmistakable purples and pinks, this mystical stone is associated with powers of healing, tranquility, higher knowledge, spiritual communication, and heightened awareness. Amethysts simply possess a high vibration that makes them ideal for any work associated with the higher chakras, specifically the crown.

We have a gorgeous amethyst necklace that doubles as a divination tool for those who are seeking the peace and balance that this stone imparts. When used as a means of dispelling fear, loneliness, or other problems related to blockages of the crown chakra, amethyst can be quite effective at giving you that higher spiritual perspective.

Meditating With Chakra Jewelry

While wearing such powerful handmade jewelry pieces can be effective at helping to cleanse your energy and unblock your chakras, meditation can be a useful spiritual practice to get in the habit of doing, which can help this process along.

Meditation can help you get in tune with your body, imparting a greater awareness and sense of self. By meditating while wearing your chakra jewelry, you can better tap into the channeled energies in these pieces and also use visualization techniques to help stimulate your chakras even further, for a more comprehensive and holistic experience.

Finding The Best Energy Jewelry For Your Needs

To get the best effect from your chakra jewelry, you will want to make sure that the pieces are handcrafted with high-quality stones and other premium materials. Ideally, the jewelry in question should not only be chakra balanced but carefully crafted with positive intent.

Whether you are looking for an attractive and energy-balanced chakra bracelet or a powerful pendant necklace that is infused with chaka-clearing intent, you are sure to find a piece that speaks to you here in our store. All of our pieces are not only designed with quality gemstones, metals, and other materials but each of them is personally blessed and full of positive energies that can help you reach a higher vibration.
