Crystal Chakra Layouts:
I. General Layout - incorporates the use on any kind of crystals or stones. Stones are placed upon the chakra centers that are imbalanced. At least one stone corresponding to each chakra is placed upon the chakra with other stones surrounding it. However, there may be times when only one chakra needs to be worked with. After the stones are placed, a quartz crystal is passed above the body to direct the flow of energy.
The type of result the client is trying to achieve will determine the stones that will be used
over specific chakras. It is important to attune to the client and to guide the client to direct his/her
breath and energy into the area that needs balancing. Encourage the client to verbally express and
share what he/she is experiencing.
II. Chakra Balance Layout - can be done with any seven stones that correspond to the colors of the chakras (refer to chart below). Any number of stones can be used. Stones should be placed on each chakra and in a direct line with one another. A quartz crystal is then passed two to six inches above the stones to balance and align the chakras. Other stones can be placed around the main chakra stones to accentuate the healing force.
Group Exercises:
I. Crystal and Stone Ritual - place a quartz crystal, stones for the chakras, and a candle in the center of a circle. Have the group members sit around the stones and the candle. Burn sage and pass it over the stones, then pass the sage to each group member to cleanse him/herself. Leave the sage in the center of the circle. Have each group member state his/her desire for healing and ask the stones to help him/her heal. After each group member has spoken, have everyone join hands and shut their eyes. Visualize the stones healing each member. Ask the group members to open their eyes and describe what they experienced.
II. Crystal Meditation - place a selection of crystals and stones in the center of a circle. Light a candle and burn sage next to the stones. Ask each group member to choose a stone. Direct the group members to focus all of their attention on their stones, observing the size, shape, color, and texture. Play music for the group, and ask the members to move to the music as they connect with their stones. Direct the members to dance, allowing their stones to guide their movements. Turn off the music and ask the group members to sit in a circle. Have each member describe his/her experience and what he/she learned from his/her stone. Gently place the stones back in the center of the circle and thank them for their help.
