This post discusses how to balance your chakras using crystals.
Our bodies can hold, emit, and transmit energy, just like crystals. Scientists have found that our DNA molecules emit photons of light. Also, our bones and teeth are composed of a type of calcium phosphate crystal, similar to the crystal Apatite.

Who is Betsy Leighton?
I’m a writer, blogger, and healer dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their innate peace and wholeness by healing nervous system dysregulation. My personal experience with chronic illness called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) shapes my work, and my content offers tools to empower those with chronic illness to improve their well-being and take charge of their health.
I created the Sacred Self-Healing Method and am a trained and certified Safe and Sound Protocol provider, an author, blogger, and A Course in Miracles Teacher. I hold a Master of Divinity in Spiritual Counseling and am a trained spiritual mentor, with certificates in sound healing, aromatherapy, nutrition, and Sacred Deathcare. I offer a self-study certificate program in the Sacred Self-Healing Method, provide spiritual counseling and coaching, courses, and supported subscriptions for the Safe and Sound Protocol.
What is MCAS?
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. It can cause severe, disabling symptoms every day, including potentially fatal anaphylaxis. MCAS often occurs with other chronic conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Managing MCAS is challenging because many healthcare providers are unaware of it, and diagnostic tests can be unreliable. Treatments include antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers. Check out this post on managing MCAS.
Intention
Sacred Self-Healing relies on intention and frequency. Intention directs frequency to bring about healing. The universal formula for healing is:
Intention + Frequency = Healing.
In this expression, “frequency” refers to the specific healing modality being applied. Setting an intention is particularly beneficial when utilizing self-healing methods such as frequency and forgiveness. This post covers more information on the power of intention.
Beneficial Frequency
Beneficial frequency refers to natural vibrations that synchronize biological and Earth systems, to support overall harmony. For instance, visible red and blue light from the sun are beneficial frequencies because they regulate circadian rhythms. Likewise, Earth’s Schumann resonance is a naturally occurring frequency that aligns internal and external rhythms for health. This post discusses beneficial frequency in more depth.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness, like love, is seen as a high-frequency energetic state connected to compassion and gratitude. In contrast, emotions such as resentment and anger are thought to have lower frequencies, constricting rather than elevating well-being. Forgiveness helps elevate energy, promote emotional healing, and support physiological balance. Science hasn’t measured the frequency of forgiveness, but studies show that forgiveness can improve heart and brain patterns and help the body work more smoothly. Forgiveness brings balance, healing, and peace—both emotionally and physically. This post delves deeper into forgiveness.
What are crystals?
Crystals are stones comprised of atoms arranged in regular patterns. They can hold and emit energy because of these properties. When put under pressure, some crystals emit light. Crystals are used to transmit radio waves in the memory components of computers, watches, and clocks because they provide stability to the flow of electromagnetic energy. Crystals can be used to cleanse or remove negative energy. They can be used to activate parts of the body and to maintain a certain vibratory level. Crystals can also be used with sound to initiate healing.
Connecting with crystal energy
In this post, I shared a meditation technique for connecting with the energies of crystals. By using this technique, you can begin to feel which crystals work well for balancing your chakras. Generally, what feels good will be balancing. I have found that the size of the stones doesn’t matter for chakra balancing. In fact, it is often preferable to have smaller stones so that you don’t overwhelm your senses.
Purchase a set of chakra-balancing crystals
There are chakra-balancing crystal sets available for sale on the internet, or you can visit your local rock shop and put together a set of crystals to balance your chakras, one stone for each chakra. Typically, sets of stones follow the rainbow:
Red – root
Orange – sacral
Yellow – solar plexus
Green – heart
Blue – throat
Indigo – third eye
Violet – crown
However, the set of stones that will balance your particular energies might not follow that pattern. This is why I recommend that you learn to feel the energies of the rocks yourself, in a quiet, meditative space, using the exercise in this post.
Choosing chakra balancing stones
Some chakra balancing sets use complementary color stones; so, you would balance your throat chakra with an orange stone, your heart with a red stone, etc. I encourage you to find what works for you. Chakra balancing stones don’t need to conform to a set color scheme. If you determine through your meditations that a certain stone feels great on a particular chakra, go with it.
Here is an example of a set of chakra-balancing crystals.
Rhodochrosite – Root
Orange Carnelian – Sacral
Yellow Citrine – Solar Plexus
Malachite – Heart
Aquamarine – Throat
Lapis Lazuli – Third Eye
Amethyst – Crown
Balancing your chakras with crystals
Once you have obtained a set of crystals, lie down and place one stone upon its corresponding chakra and lie still for several minutes, noticing the sensations in your body and energy field. Imagine that each chakra is in perfect balance, radiating the appropriate vibrant color, and swirling in a vortex of energy. Journal about your chakra meditation, noting the qualities you experience with each crystal when it is placed on the appropriate chakra, the images you receive, and other impressions you have with using each crystal individually.

The bucket theory
The bucket theory simplifies understanding symptom reactions with MCAS. Imagine your body as an empty bucket you don’t want to overflow. Reactions to various stimuli fill the histamine bucket at different rates, forming the total histamine level (how full your bucket is). More histamine means more symptoms. By managing triggers, reducing exposures, and taking medications and supplements, you can control your bucket’s level.

Sign up for the SSP!
I’ve found the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to be the most helpful bottom-up healing strategy if your nervous system has been overloaded with toxic exposures, including mold or non-native EMFs, chronic infections, concussions, stress, or trauma. The SSP is a passive listening therapy based on Polyvagal Theory that helps heal nervous system dysregulation. Many people with MCAS and other chronic conditions have nervous system dysregulation stemming from infections, toxic exposures, concussions, and trauma. The SSP is an easy-to-use app that lets you listen to specially filtered music for 30 minutes each day as part of a 5-hour cycle. Studies show the SSP has a profound effect on mental health and chronic conditions. Here’s a short podcast describing the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Heal your mind!
While the SSP is a bottom-up, somatic therapy for healing the nervous system, the Sacred Self-Healing Method I offer is a top-down nervous system-healing modality that focuses on cognition, attention, perception, and emotion, using the mind’s higher functions. The SSP and the Sacred Self-Healing Method complement each other and together produce lasting results. Here’s a short podcast on my self-healing practice.
