CHRYSOCOLLA CHAKRAS

The turquoise and blue hues of Chrysocolla make it a powerful stone for use when working on clearing the Throat Chakra. It will help to open the Throat Chakra, allowing you to speak your truth without fear or apology. It also facilitates the accessing of internal wisdom that may have hitherto remained hidden. It is the stone of communication, and this applies to the communication you have with yourself as well as to your interactions with the outside world.

It will help to address any internal dialogues you may have built up throughout your life in which you are less than kind to yourself. It will bring to light the negative self-talk that may be causing you emotional and physical distress, and its gentle, calming energies will help to re-program your thoughts and speech so that you can release anything that is no longer serving you, It helps to repair the damage we may have inflicted on ourselves through lack of confidence or self-belief.

Because the Throat Chakra is also the Voice of the Body it acts as a conduit for all of the other Chakras to give expression to their needs. If it is blocked, as in the case for many of us for much of the time, it can throw the whole Chakra system out of balance. This in turn leads to sickness of both mind and body if we allow it to continue unchecked.

By using Chrysocolla to clear and cleans the Throat Chakra regularly, we can bring an easy, free flowing energy into our bodies and spirits, we can then address any “lies” we may have told ourselves in the mistaken belief that these keep us safe. Truths can be given expression in healing and liberating way, leading to a lightness of spirit and the natural release of pain, both emotional and physical.

Chrysocolla also has an affinity with the energies of the Heart Chakra and can be used to cleanse, open and balance the Heart Chakra so that we increase our capacity to love. It can help to ease the pain of emotional heartache and bring courage and comfort to those who may be grieving for the loss of a loved one.

The Heart Chakra governs many of our interactions with the external world and gives us the messages we act upon when we either embrace or resist something. If the Heart Chakra is blocked for any reason the messages we receive may be based upon a perceived need to stay safe, so we may actually embrace damaging relationships or activities in the mistaken belief that these are what we must have in order to be ourselves, and to prevent us from coming to harm.

Using Chrysocolla to perform a Chakra balance of the Heart will begin to break down the blockages in the etheric body that may have led to a closed or frozen heart. This can be a powerful experience, and can also feel uncomfortable at first, but it is well worth persevering with because the rewards are so great. You may wish to work on your own Heart Chakra little and often in order to make the process less traumatic. In this case, take a piece of Chrysocolla and hold it first in the palm of your hand. Consciously send love to the stone before placing it over your Heart Chakra and breathing deeply. Allow any fears to surface, but know that they cannot harm you. They are simply feelings, and as such they will fade away if you withdraw your attention from them. Focus on the beautiful crystal you hold in your hand and set an intention to gently, slowly, release all of the negative emotions, thoughts and behaviors that may have resulted in your building walls around your heart. Visualise the walls coming down stone by stone. When you begin to feel distressed, stop. Relax your shoulders and the muscles around your solar plexus, breathe deeply. Close your fingers around the stone and mentally give thanks for the process that you have begun. Repeat the process every day until you feel the “shift” that is the signal that your Heart Chakra is coming back into balance, to the place where it deserves to be.
