The body's chakras have different colours and different gemstones are associated with them.
Many people follow intuition when it comes to picking the right stones, and they often choose by colour rather than by the endless amounts of lists that can be found online and in books.
On the weekend, I decided to pick the following stones:
Crown: Amethyst
The amethyst is a pure powerhouse of a stone, and is associated with intuition, meditation, protection, purification and wisdom.
Third Eye: Clear Quartz
Clear quartz is a very versatile stone and is associated with meditation, purification and manifesting.
Throat: Sodalite
In terms of colour, the sodalite is often confused with the Lapis Lazuli, and is associated with clarity, creativity, focus, inspiration, intuition, meditation, visioning and wisdom.
Heart: Rose Quartz
Undoubtedly one of the most favourite stones, the rose quartz is associated with emotional healing, hope, joy, love, nurturing and self-love.
Solar Plexus: Citrine
One of my personal favourites, the citrine is associated with abundance, clarity, creativity, focus, inspiration and money.
Sacral: Carnelian
Easy to spot, the carnelian is associated with confidence, empowerment, physical health and vitality.
Root: Black Tourmaline
Tourmalines come in a variety of colours, the black one specifically is associated with grounding, mental health, protection and purification.
I have also picked up a raw amethyst and a raw citrine, simply because I like both stones very much.
I will cleanse them before first use, and see if I see their benefit of the stones during and after my chakra and Reiki meditations.
