The 43 Best Chakra Stones for Your Chakras

Have you had days where you've felt out of balance and weren't sure why?

Those are your chakras telling you they need some tender loving care.

They align you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually to create harmony. The daily demands and stressors of life lead to energetic blocks which cause you to feel out of sync. You aren't alone when this happens. Everyone deals with energetic blocks.

But what's cool is you can get yourself back in alignment as quickly as you fell out with (yep, you guessed it!) chakra stones.

Let's take a peek at your chakras and how you can balance them using chakra stones.

All About Your Chakras

Chakras are the concentrated energy centers of your body.

There are 7 main chakras located along your spine, each with a corresponding name, number, color, specific location, and health focus.

There are also Chakra Stones you can use to unblock and re-align your chakras. A good guideline to follow is to choose one Chakra Stone that's the same color associated with the specific chakra.

How to Use Chakra Stones to Align Your Chakras

Lay down on the floor (on a yoga mat, rug, or anything else that's comfortable for you) and place a Chakra Stone on each of your chakras. You don't have to worry about placing each of them perfectly. Your chakras are large energy points, and your intention behind wanting to align your chakras is what will make your Chakra Stones work.

Once your Chakra Stones have been placed on your body, close your eyes, and take a few moments to breathe. Focus on one chakra at a time, starting at your Root Chakra and ending at your Crown Chakra. Visualize the Chakra Stone color sending energy to your chakra, letting your chakra heal and become nourished. Do this for a few minutes before moving onto your next chakra.

The Chakra Stones create a tangible connection between your mind and body. When you combine this connection with your awareness, your chakras become balanced.
