Chakras are thought to be spinning disks of energy that should stay opened and aligned. Each disk corresponds to bundles of nerves and major organs and can affect our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. To learn more about each of the seven chakras click the link below!
A Bit About Frequency
I think it's important to know just a little bit about frequency. So I will try and keep it short and easy to understand.
Everything in existence is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. When you combine something with a low frequency with something with a high frequency they will balance out to a middle ground. Think of it like this: when you are in a really good mood and you come across someone that is a real 'downer' your frequency will drop and theirs will rise because each of your frequencies will affect the others, positively or negatively.
Each chakra has its own frequency and each crystal has its own frequency. The frequency of a crystal however, is very hard to measure. It depends on its size, its shape, its origins, where it was cut and so on. What I can tell you is the frequency of crystals are much higher than the frequency of a human body. Why do I believe this? Well because crystals have the lowest state of entropy (destruction). Humans, animals and plants have a high state of entropy, they are constantly breaking down and regenerating until they no longer can do so. Crystals are billions of years old they don't break down.
With that being said what would you believe to have the higher frequency, humans or crystals? I think crystals! Crystals will dominate the energies and our bodies will begin to sync with the crystal. Which is why you may experience tingling, movement and pulsing when you touch a crystal. We are adjusting to the vibration of the crystals frequency.
You know what else has frequency, colours! So, the colour of the crystal can determine the frequency as well. In general, darker crystals (black, brown, silver, red) have a lower frequency than lighter coloured crystals (blue, violet and white) which have a higher frequency. The frequencies of our chakras range from 396Hz - 963Hz with the root being the lowest and the crown being the highest. The lowest frequency colour is red which is why the root chakra is associated with the colour red and the crown chakra, being the highest frequency chakra is associated with the highest frequency colour, purple or white.
So, now you know why I combine crystals in my practice. I also love to pair crystals and essential oils but lets save that for another time!
