Crystals have long been companions on the path of self-connection and subtle healing. Each chakra carries its own energy, qualities, and rhythm, and certain stones are traditionally associated with supporting these centres through their colour, vibration and presence.
Working with crystals is not about forcing change but about creating space for awareness, grounding and alignment. When placed on or near the body, or held with intention, they invite us to slow down, listen inward and reconnect with our inner wisdom.
Here is a guide to the crystals most commonly associated with each chakra, offered as gentle allies to support balance, openness, expression, insight and connection:
