Crystals have been known for their natural healing powers. We believe you have read our articles ‘Healing crystals and the science behind it’ and ‘Healing crystals for each chakra’. In our previous article ‘How to heal others anywhere and anytime’ we have shared in detail the steps and the intentions you can set while healing someone else. Today we share with you how to heal yourself with a few simple steps.
Choosing a healing crystal. There are many ways to choose a healing crystal:
- Match the crystal to the chakra color: For example red crystals such as bloodstone for root chakra
- Match the crystal to the associated chakra: Example, Serpentine for the heart chakra
- Identify the goal and select the appropriate crystal: Crystals have unique properties for example Amethyst helps calm and relieves stress.
After you have selected the crystals, you will now need to place them. Generally there are 3 ways to place crystals
- On the body placement: Place crystals on the body
- Near the body placement: Place crystals near the body
- In the area placement: Place the crystals in the vicinity or the area where the healing session is being conducted.
Generally smooth crystals can be placed on the body while some big raw crystals could be placed in the vicinity. Sometimes it may be tough to balance a crystal on the body thus placing it near the body works too. Try to keep the crystal as close to the relevant chakra as possible.
There are 2 types of healing - Healing yourself and healing others. In this article we will talk about healing yourself. For healing others, please refer to our previous article - ‘How to heal others anywhere and anytime’

4. Relax:
Once all the crystals are in place, send positive energy and visualize energy flowing freely and harmoniously.
It is optional to cleanse the chakras by making “sweeping” motions during this time to help the energy flow freely.
You can spend 10 - 15 minutes, or as long as an hour. It really depends on what feels right for you. We recommend going with the flow.
5. Removing & Cleansing:
Once your healing session has come to a completion, go back and collect all the stones you placed. It is a great time for you to reflect upon your experience during the session while expressing gratitude to the Universe for healing you.
After each session, it’s critical that you must cleanse all the crystals you used to purify their energy for when you need them next time.
We hope you will harness the powers of healing crystals to benefit you physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Namaste🙏
