In the current trend of holistic healing which involves making changes to your body in the metaphysical sense , our age-old wisdom of chakra cleansing has once again come in to prominence. Once considered knowledge of only the Sages and highly learned beings, the study of the 7 chakras and how to boost each chakra and gain higher energy is being done by new age holistic Gurus also. This chakra cleansing session involves scanning of the chakras and the aura in detail. Once the healer identifies any imbalanced Chakras it is cleansed using various crystals. This session helps let go of the negative blocks and psychic debris, thereby rejuvenating and recharging your spirit and helping you experience divine bliss. One of the simplest ways to help balance the whole chakra system is to place a stone of the appropriate colour on each area. This will give each chakra a boost of its own vibration without altering its energies or the overall harmony of the system.

For this you will need crystals each corresponding to the colour of a chakra and a tourmaline crystal to help ground you afterwards. Each Chakra has a corresponding colour which will be mentioned below. Choose your crystals and arrange them in sequence beside where you will be lying. Lie down and relax. To gently balance and realign your chakra energies, place one stone of the appropriate colour on each chakra area for a few minutes.

Crown Chakra-Violet

Place a violet crystal or clear quartz crystal just above the top of the head. This will integrate and balance all aspects of the self - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, and will promote positive thought patterns, inspiration and imagination.

Brow Chakra-Indigo or Blue

Place an indigo or dark blue crystal in the centre of the forehead to promote intuitive skills and memory and to increase understanding and self-knowledge.

Throat Chakra-Light blue

Place a light blue crystal at the base of the throat to bring peacefulness, ease communication difficulties and to promote self-expression.

Heart Chakra-Green

Place a green crystal in the centre of the chest to promote a sense of calm, create a sense of direction in life and to balance your relationship with others and the world. A pink stone can be added for emotional clearing.
 

Solar Plexus Chakra-Yellow

Place a yellow crystal between the navel and the ribcage to reduce anxiety, clear your thoughts and improve confidence.

Sacral Chakra-Orange

Place an orange coloured crystal on the lower abdomen. This will balance creativity and release stress and blocks in your life that prevent enjoyment.

Base Chakra-Red or Black

Place a red or black crystal near the base of the spine between your legs, or alternatively place two red stones, of the same sort, on the top of each leg. This will balance physical energy, motivation and practicality and promote a sense of reality.

But this cleansing is best done under the Guidance of an expert in Chakra healing expert, as his/her guided meditation and placing of the right crystal at the right place and energizing them will be more beneficial.
