How to Use these Gemstones 

gemstone bracelets for balance

Bring yourself into daily balance by wearing gemstone jewelry every day. Having the stones pressed close to the skin is one of the best ways to tap into that well of energy and to let those healing vibrations shake you out. When crystals have direct contact with the skin they can transmute and connect sending all that potent chakra cleansing power exactly where it's needed.

Other ways you can welcome the healing power of gemstones is through reiki healing, meditation, crystal grids, holding the stones in hand during visualization and manifestation techniques, and placing healing spheres and stones upon your altar.

Conclusion

Balance comes from feeling whole and complete and as though nothing is tipping the scales and throwing you into chaos. It’s about having a strong foundation, free space inside to fluctuate and flow, and about knowing yourself deeply so you can sense when things are out of whack. Crystals help us to achieve all this and with balance comes the gift of a life well-lived.
