Gemstones also play an important role in chakra balance, while laying a gemstone upon each chakra point. Each chakra can reach the well being of balance by leaving a gemstone on the area for at least three to five minutes, depending of course on the level of balance you feel each chakra requires. To do this, you will begin with the root chakra and work your way up the body.

Since everyone is different you may find that some individuals recommend a specific gemstone for individual chakra centers, however, you can use any type of gemstone that feels right for you personally. By experimenting with various gemstones you can find the right one for your personal chakra work. You will know if you are using the right gemstone for you, after you place the gemstone on your chakra, when you experience a good feeling or notice a low humming. However, if you do experience any negative feelings or if the gemstone does not feel right, actually some gemstones will remove themselves if they are not right, by falling away from the chakra point. Any time you find they are not the right gemstone, you should not use them for chakra balancing.

Experiment with various gemstones until you find the one that provides you with the best feelings and then make a list of the chakra and the type of gemstones you use. For example, you may wish to use a black onyx on your root chakra, which is popular with many individuals, however, it may not be the best choice of gemstone to use for your chakra. Never assume that a suggested gemstone is the best choice for you to use, since what works for some, may not work for others. Experiment until you find your perfect gemstone.

A chakra balance can also be done all at once, put your gemstones on each chakra point at the same time, and then leave them on for three to 25 minutes, again depending on how much your chakra’s need to be balanced.
