Crystal Healing for Muladhara Chakra
People have been entrusting crystals for healing since the dawn of time. These are Mother Earth’s treasures, glittering gems, gemstones, and rock crystals formed by fundamental energy. They can catch the sun, moon, salt oceans, dirt, and mountains in a single shimmer and return all of their healing power to humankind.
Healing crystals have a long history, having graced the breastplates of priests and warriors, been used in shamanic rituals, served as guiding lights for ancient tribes, and been tucked away in the pockets of princesses, mariners, and healers.
In nowadays society, these powerful gemstones have enormous power. They support us in channeling our intentions, raising our vibrations, and bringing forth all of the latent energies, grace, beauty, and charisma we already possess. Everything in life has its own vibration, and if we can align our inner vibrations with the things we want in this world, we may be able to materialize them into our lives.
Crystals, with their purifying power and uplifting vibrations, may well assist in bridging that gap. These glistening gemstones of enchantment also inspire us to cleanse our thoughts, sit in meditation, and ponder how we might quiet our monkey minds and go into deeper healing through our energy centers or chakras.
Crystals and gemstones are used to stimulate, balance, or increase the chakras’ energy. They have a natural healing frequency that may be engaged to help move or balance energy around them. Every crystal vibrational resonance matches distinct energy centers (chakras) through our body.
Each crystal has the capability of intensifying or balancing the energy center you are focused on. To choose a healing crystal, consider numerous aspects of the gemstone, such as its energy quality, color, and the intuitive or personal connection you feel with it. You may activate the healing potential of the gemstones by using purpose and intuition. Active imagination aid in reaching the area where gemstones or crystals may be used in conjunction with chakra healing.
Through the crystal, the energy is directed and intensified. It then impacts or resonates with the vibration or frequency of the chakra being focused on. At the same time, adequate sun exposure while wearing the crystals allows the sunlight to pass through them taking their healing energy and disseminating the frequencies of its colors into our chakras bringing them to balance.
Healing gemstones and crystals that have been cleansed and charged are most effective when placed near the dysfunctional chakra. They are often worn as jewelry or put directly over a chakra in need of balance. There are several methods to include healing gemstones into your daily life and surroundings. You may, for example, place them in a fixed position in your dwelling, scatter them over your house and workplace, carry them with you, or for more effective and sounding healing results wear them as jewelry.
Physical and non-physical indicators develop whenever there is a blockage in the chakra system. However, since the Root (Muladhara) Chakra is where energy is first raised up, any disturbance in energy flow via this chakra makes achieving balance in the other chakras difficult. Therefore, when it comes to balance our energy centers (chakras) and raising up the kundalini energy through them it is very important always to start taking care of our Muladhara to make sure we are building a healthy energetic structure all across our body, which can be done by using the correct crystals attuned to the energies of our root chakra.

The first step in preparing is to create an environment that resonates with the energy of the Root (Muladhara) Chakra. To balance this energy center, you must be relaxed and connected with Nature’s grounding senses of sight, smell, and sound coming from these natural surroundings, so that you feel that connection with the Earth element, which will make you more receptive to the energy of the crystals and also set them up in the right environment to make the most of their properties. Notwithstanding if this not possible to do, you can do this at home, as crystals work very effectively over your physical body at any place.
One of the most effective methods to use crystals and gemstones to balance your root chakra is to relax and lie down in a comfortable position at home, preferably with open windows so that you still receive alfresco energies from nature being clean air, sunlight, sounds, smells, etc. This also helps you to relax your breath and calm down for an enhanced experience and receptivity. Anything coming from outdoors may it be the sound of chirping birds, the smell of the trees, the sound of sea waves, and everything else produced by nature will help to attune.
Balancing Muladhara with crystals is way straightforward because this energy center is related with anything physical as our bones and structures, thus simply holding the chakra healing crystals on our body already makes Muladhara absorb their energies as per the gravitational pull of the Earth. Keeping laying down in a relaxed breathing interaction with nature works wonders by itself. Chanting the beej sound of the Root (Muladhara) Chakra which is LAM or listening to it while doing the above will help even more to attune us to the energy of the crystals.
Wearing the same crystals along the day will increase their balancing properties, as the most they keep in touch against your skin the faster and deeper you allow their vibrational healing energies balance your root chakra and hence, all the area surrounding the physical location of Muladhara in the body.

It is recommended that you always consult with your crystal’s provider expert to better guide you about which finger or in which wrist (right or left) to wear them on, in order for them to be really effective for you.
Crystals and gemstones are also considered as storehouses of divine energy. Gems absorb, reflect and radiate different frequencies of light and with their constant contact with the skin bring about changes in the body’s energy field. Each color ray is connected with one or more of the Chakras. Sun rays passing through a gemstone make it emit a cosmic color that is absorbed by the body Chakras, bringing the affected Chakra to a state of balance.
