Mustika Pearls

Chakra meditation is a very popular method of opening blocked chakras. For many years, the idea of chakra work, or opening the 7 chakras for a more balanced life, has been growing increasingly in the New Age community. There are a variety of ways in which this healing or opening can be achieved. This calls into play meditating on the chakra in question and visualizing its openness and expansion. If balancing is desired, many people find that employing chakra meditation by envisioning all the chakras in the body as being aligned and balanced helps achieve this result. Some also use chakra meditation to simply work on focusing one chakra a day, in turn, until a sense of balance is achieved. Chakra meditation is simple to do and only requires a silent room, free of distractions, for twenty minutes or so per session. Some who use chakra meditation enjoy making use of tools such as stones, pearls or crystals to minister to the process. Chakra stones, or stones thought to benefit the chakras, are chosen for their energies and powers specific to releasing the chakras. Similarly, chakra crystals are chosen for the qualities they possess that are thought to enhance, cure, or balance the chakra points. Practitioners of Reiki healing most often use chakra stones and chakra crystals to re-direct and balance chakra energy.

There are particular chakra crystals that match with each chakra in the body, they are used by chakra healers to support and balance the chakra energies. There are many combinations of crystals that are deemed “chakra crystals.” One configuration, in the eight chakra system is as follows: Rock crystal is used for the top of the head (Sahasrara chakra) Amethyst is used for the center of the forehead (Bindu chakra), Sodalite for the eyebrow area (Ajna), Blue Agate for the neck or throat (Vishuddha chakra), Green Aventurine for the heart area (Anahata chakra), Citrine for the navel (Manipura chakra), Carnelian for the tailbone (Swadhisthana chakra) and Red Jasper for the genital area (Muladhara chakra).  Other practitioners select the chakra stone or crystal by its color, for instance, in a seven chakra system the tailbone would require a black, brown or red stone, the genital area a red or orange stone, the navel would take a yellow stone, the heart a pink or green stone, the throat a blue colored stone, the eyebrow a purple stone and, lastly, the crown or top of head a clear, colorless or “white” stone such as quartz crystal. This second method allows for more flexibility when choosing which stones to assist in unblocking the chakras and opening the flow of energy.

Mustika pearls or crystals can and are used in the same way that chakra crystals and chakra stones are in healing the chakras. Their various hues and elements may be matched up with the elements denoted by each chakra. For instance, the tailbone or root chakra’s element is the Earth so a wonderful Mustika pearl for this chakra would be an Earth Dragon pearl or one of the many plant pearls, since they come from the Earth. The second chakra is associated with water, thus Water Mustika pearls or those from sea creatures such as fish would be great choices for cleansing and healing this area. The navel chakra is symbolized by fire, thus a Fire Dragon pearl would work very well. The heart chakra is adjoined with air. Air Dragon pearls are not only beautiful, but they embody this chakra precisely. Mustika pears are an stimulating new addition to the chakra healing toolbox for professionals and lay people alike and are well worth looking into for this purpose and others.
