The Three Lower Chakras
The questions I receive most often from Readers to www.crystaltiger.com relate to
self-esteem issues,
how to
increase fertility and what can be used for protection from negativity.
These topics relate to wellness in the lower three chakras, or
the lower energy points on the body. The three
lower chakras are the Root Chakra, (also called the 1st Chakra), the
Spleen or Sexual Chakra (also called the 2nd
Chakra), and the Solar Plexus (also called the 3rd Chakra). If you are
unfamiliar with
the location of these chakras, please see The Chakras for
general information. Many people
experience a restlessness in these lower three chakras due to
imbalances that
affects our ability to feel comfortable about ourselves. Weaknesses and
imbalances often shut
down our creative life force and fertility, and can erode our
ability for
self-protection. The crystals I'd like to recommend are Hematite(
for the 1st Chakra) ,
Garnet (for the 2nd Chakra) and Carnelian (for the 3rd Chakra)
followed by a suggested easy crystal layout to focus on wellness for
all three chakras.
Garnet (Top Left), Carnelian (Right) and Hematite (Lower Right)
HEMATITE-
1st Chakra
The "Anti-Stress Stone".
(Colour – Steel Grey) When polished, Hematite looks like shiny
steel. The shiny surface reflects back any negativity and
helps reduce stress to the whole body. Hematite also helps to ground
energy so it doesn't fly away when challenged.
It grounds or "earths" creative energy to make one's
thoughts
more practical and focused and less up in the clouds like "pie in
the sky" or an unattainable dream. As a "Stress Stone", Hematite
reflects negativity back to the sender, so you don't end up with
someone else's stress. For backache or leg cramps, use surgical
tape to fix a few pieces onto painful areas. The crystal's energy
is like a magnet and effectively draws out pain related to
muscular or joint alignment problems. Hematite is also used to
reduce insomnia by relaxing the body and helps to reduce leg kicking
during the night.
GARNET - 2nd Chakra
The "Sex Stone" -
(Colour - Burgundy Red) Garnet strengthens
the Root chakra. and restores
physical and emotional energy lost through constantly ensuring
the protection and welfare of self and of others. When you feel a
bit lost or
abandonned in the chaos of daily life, Garnet helps to provide
the needed grounding, energizing and empowering to become more decisive
and
committed to a direction. It
helps to ground stress and retain feelings of self- power. Garnet is well-known for enhancing and
regenerating one's sexuality (the physical aspects) for your self
and partner. As Garnet helps to increase circulation to the legs and
pelvic
area, it is helpful for fertility. It also reduces menstrual pain when held or taped over the
ovaries and
uterus.
CARNELIAN - 3rd Chakra
The "Self-Esteem Stone".
(Colour – Vibrant Orange)
Carnelian eliminates feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth. The deep
orange colours relate well to strengthening and
blending the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
chakras, promoting self-security and self-love, and self-protection. This
stone is especially good for recovery after feeling rejection. It
transmutes sadness in your Heart into the initiative to do something
positive about the problem. This crystal encourages enthusiasm, and is
good for giving vibrancy to one's sexuality too!!.
The pinker shades
relate to enhancing love through
self-acceptance. This crystal is also used for dermatological
ailments such as acne, by holding the stone over the skin and
moving it in circles for several minutes, several times a day.
The Crystal Layout
You can try a layout of these crystals placing one crystal
at each
of the three chakras while laying down. For best results, use crystals
that are a minimum of 1/2 - 1 inch in diameter and leave them in place
for 15 minutes. For the 1st Chakra, simply place the Hematite
crystal on the public bone or drop
the crystal between your legs at the crotch. For the 2nd Chakra, place
the Garnet 4-finger lengths below the belly button. For the 3rd
Chakra, place the Carnelian at the Solar Plexus in the soft
centre below the point where the
rib cage joins. Chakras tend to move around, so feel free to make
personal adjustments. You can also move these crystals around - place
the Hematite at the 3rd Chakra, the Carnelian at the 2nd Chakra
and the Garnet at the first Chakra for a different effect.
