Boost Your Workspace with the Crystals Based on Chakras
Want a super quick and easy way to jazz up your workspace? Well, look no further than crystals! With so many minerals and crystals out there, it can feel overwhelming to pick the right ones for your desk. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with 7 crystals that align with the chakra system to bring balance to your own energy, amp up the good vibes in your space, and create some serious harmony.
Now, let’s talk about the 7 chakras – these are like energy hubs in your body, with 7 points running from your base to your head. Each chakra is linked to specific emotions, organs, and functions, and there are special stones and minerals that can help channel those energies. These points vibrate at different frequencies, which are tied to colors used in chakra meditations.
By visualizing the corresponding colors and harnessing the potent “Qi” (pronounced ‘chi’), you can harmonize and rejuvenate these energy points, which in turn enhances the ambiance of your workspace.
Here are 7 crystals for clarity and productivity based on the chakras:
Black Tourmaline
This black beauty is great at cleansing cyber smog and effectively eliminating all electromagnetic waves from devices such as your computer or cell phone. It is very efficient at creating a sense of empowerment and mental clarity.
This stone activates the root chakra (Muladhara), the first chakra located at the base of your spine. Black tourmaline is known as a grounding stone and its electrical nature triggers the first and all following chakras, but also creates a complete sense of balanced power.
Citrine
Known as the stone of success, Citrine will help you find your true purpose in life. This stone opens the second chakra, or Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – the center of creativity and imagination helping you manifest your dreams into reality. It aids in attracting more joy and success along your journey to finding your purpose and being successful at it.
Tiger’s Eye
Keep things flowing and focused with this gem nearby. Tiger’s eye is very effective at de-scattering your brain and aiding in making confident, well-thought decisions. It works from your power center, the Solar Plexus or 3rd chakra (Manipura) which houses self-esteem and confidence.
In terms of monetary means – Tiger eye stays focused on the prize, and guides you in the direction of profits in all your business endeavors
Green Aventurine
No business or business-minded individual should be without this in their pocket. Related to the Heart Chakra (fourth chakra or Anahata) this stone opens up our worth in receiving luck and prosperity… I mean, we all need money to live right?
Green Aventurine neutralizes stress and anxiety related to work, allowing us to stay cool, calm and collected in order to attract the success we seek. Don’t leave home without it.
Amazonite
The color of the Caribbean ocean, this blue green Peruvian pebble excels at eating up cyber smog and emitting other positive energy into your environment. The color and nature of this stone stimulate the 5th chakra, or Throat Chakra (Vishudha) by helping with effective communication and integrity with coworkers, especially those of the opposite sex.
Amazonite balances the male and female energies (yin and yang) making the differences between the two indistinguishable so ideas and opinions are able to flow freely.
Amethyst Cluster
The sixth chakra is known as the 3rd Eye (Ajna), its purpose is to allow us to view things and situations around us subjectively and not wrapped up in emotions. Amethyst speaks to this chakra with its various shades of purple from a soft almost clear or white color to a deep almost black purple.
It represents a sense of community and brings harmony to anyone who works with teams. Placed in the center of a table during a meeting or near a screen during a conference call – its high vibrational field will also assist with removing electromagnetic waves.
Selenite
Located at the top of the head, is the Crown Chakra (7th chakra or Sahasrara). Selenite is a guiding stone and works hard to clear any bad energy circulating around you or your workspace. It is a power house at eliminating stress and allowing you to make good choices by listening to your inner voice or intuition.
This stone is a must for high stress environments or individuals who are easily annoyed or sensitive to other people’s energies.
