![]() The hurt and sadness that had engulfed me since my dad was first diagnosed with cancer had softened its grip on my heart, so I could begin to heal. In time, I felt ready to engage with the world again, to explore new ideas and places, and to get back to living and loving fully and unconditionally. As with any successful healing or opening, having the right tools on hand is key. In this case, chakra crystals and gemstones are the keys to the kingdom. And laying the stones couldn’t be simpler: you simply place one or more of the 7 stones outlined below or crystals of a color that corresponds to one of the seven chakra points on or near that point, then leave them there for a period of time to help open the chakras. Don’t let the simplicity of the ritual fool you; I find using incredibly effective for moving stagnant energy. If you don’t experience movement, small clear quartz apexes placed strategically around your body can assist in amplifying another stone’s energy. You may, as I did, feel your chakras open after just one clearing session. But if you don’t, keep at it. Moving energy that has been stagnant for months or even years is a process, a practice, and a slow build. As with exercise, you’ve got to keep at using the crystals to see and feel the changes in energy flow, which at times can be subtle. How long should you set aside to perform the laying of chakra stones rituals outlined in this chapter? I suggest at least fifteen to twenty minutes, although leaving them on longer is fine. ![]() If you feel uncomfortable at any point remove the stone, cleanse it, and try again at another time. After the first week, during which you’ll start slowly by laying just one crystal each day on a corresponding chakra point, aim for three sessions a week. Remember, clearing out the residue from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances can lead to positive opportunities personally, professionally, and spiritually, so the time you invest in yourself can yield valuable dividends.
