How to Energize Your Body & Soul with a Chakra Balancing Bath

Collect all gemstones that you would like to use – specifically those that correspond to each of the chakras and any you would like to use to surround you in the tub as a mandala with you in the center. (Make sure they are NOT water soluble.) If you have negativity or outside stress factors or feel as if you have hooks, attachments or darkness around you, grid the doorway (and window if you have one) with selenite and black tourmaline. Smudge all the stones, the bathtub, bathroom and yourself before starting the water.

Place a rose quartz in the water as you are filling up the bath placing it in the middle of the tub. You want to be surrounded by unconditional love. If you wish to use essential oils, Himalayan salt, homemade bath salts (baking soda and sea salt with essential oils) or Epsom salt, add them after the rose quartz.

Starting with a clear quartz crystal, hold it in your hands and see yourself relaxing and clearing your mind. Just quietly breath in and out and feel the peace. Once you feel comfortable, place the clear quartz crystal in front of the rose quartz crystal, away from you, in a line.

Use a Red Jasper to represent the base chakra. Ask the stone for healing and balance. When you feel ready, place the stone into the water at the farthest point from you between your feet.

Repeat with a carnelian stone for the sacral chakra. When ready, place the stone into the water in front of the root chakra stone (or heading towards you).

Continue with a citrine stone for the solar plexus. Breathe in deeply and exhale even more deeply – pushing out all of your breath that you can envisioning all the negativity and darkness leaving your body. Do this three more times for a total of four times. On the last exhale, breathe in slowly and easily, envisioning clear healing light entering your body and expanding your lungs. Place the stone in the water in front of the sacral chakra heading towards you.

Continue to place each of the following stones in a line getting close to you or to the rose quartz and clear quartz. Use bloodstone or another stone for your heart chakra. If you are going through emotional trauma such as a break up, argument with your spouse or a friend, grieving for a loved one, etc. take your time on this chakra, Take as long as necessary to feel calm. Let the tears flow if that is how you feel.

Move onto a blue lace agate for your throat chakra. If you are a person who has a hard time speaking up for yourself, allow yourself a little more time working on this chakra.

Next use an iolite for the third eye.

You can work with a rhodochrosite or dioptase for your ears to aid psychic hearing and clear communication.

Amethyst is best for your crown chakra. Envision this stone’s purple ray filtering throughout your whole body bringing healing, distressing and allow inner peace.

When you are ready, pick up the clear quartz stone at the base of the rose quartz and continue your healing and envision a white light surrounding your body as well as filtering through it and out your feet. Feel the energy in the water as well as around you.

At this point you should be extremely relaxed and feeling more positive. Remember to cleanse and recharge the stones.
