CHAKRA GUIDE
Gemstones and mantras have been used as a method of chakra balancing and healing for thousands of
years. Vedic texts describe how the reciting of mantras and the ritual laying of crystals on the body can be used to clear the chakras and
rebalance spiritual energy.
With a mantra-inspired chakra bracelet, you can bring the power of this ancient ritual into your everyday life.
Along with the inherent power of the gem, the bracelet also serves as a chakra balancing meditation tool. Akin to how you’d use a mala, you can focus your attention on each bead in turn as you meditate,reciting the given mantra and drawing energy towards the chakra each chakra stone represents.
Though there are many kinds of chakra bracelet, they typically come in two varieties. The first of these has seven different gemstone beads, each representing one of the seven chakras.
Another common design is meant to direct energy towards one chakra specifically. Since each chakra is associated with a specific colour, the beads of this type of bracelet will be made of a single gemstone to represent the targeted chakra. Certain gemstones possess properties which make them especially beneficial when used in a chakra bracelet or other chakra jewellery, so this should be what you look for.
If you’re interested in using a chakra bracelet but don’t know where to start, it’s helpful to familiarise yourself with each of the different chakras and corresponding mantra.

Which Chakra Bracelet is right for you?
Before choosing your chakra bracelet, spend some time reflecting on the areas of your life in which you need support or what your goals you might have for personal growth.
A single-gem bracelet may benefit you if you are experiencing a blockage in one chakra specifically.
Struggling with your self-confidence lately? You might want to wear a healing solar plexus chakra bracelet. If you want to improve your ability to express yourself, a throat chakra bracelet could be the right choice for you.
If you simply want to create a balanced and healthy flow of energy between all seven chakras, a bracelet with a gemstone bead for each chakra could be the choice for you.
Another alternative is to use a bracelet stack – comprising a bracelet with a gemstone bead for each chakra, and one or two single-gem bracelets as a boost for a particularly blocked chakra.
