For more than 5,000 years, traditional Chinese and Indian medicine (as well as other ancient civilizations) have used crystals and precious stones to cure various ills; a practice that today we know as Gemotherapy or Crystal Therapy.
This medicine is based on the fact that the human being is part of a global cosmic energy. And each chakra has a specific energy that vibrates of a certain color, which when matching it with the stone of the corresponding color, it generates an emotional, spiritual and physical alignment.
How can we harness this knowledge to heal our body, mind, and spirit?
Let's first understand how the chakras work.
Each chakra is associated with specific parts and functions of the body, because they act through the 7 endocrine glands that affect body functions, mental balance and emotional balance.
The chakras reflect the decisions we make. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think and feel in certain situations. For example, when we are going through a situation of great economic stress, we close the energy valve of the solar plexus, the energy stops flowing and this causes a physical symptom such as gastritis.
Understanding the chakras, allows us to understand the relationship between our mind and our body.
How are stones used to harmonize the flow of energy in the chakras?
Traditionally, there are 7 known chakras linked to our physical body. However, we have others outside of our body that are linked to our etheric body. Here we leave you a basic table so that you know what stones you can use to balance these different energy channels:
