The Balance Bag was designed to provide a portable tool for balancing the energy centers of your body anytime. It holds 7 tumbled stones that correspond to your 7 main energy centers.
These specific stones were selected based on their universal usage and ability to bring balance.
Use one, a few, or all of these energy balancing stones based on your desired results.
Your 7 main energy centers and the 7 corresponding stones in The Balance Bag
- Crown – Clear Quartz
- Brow or 3rd Eye – Amethyst
- Throat – Sodalite
- Heart – Rose Quartz
- Solar Plexus – Citrine
- Sacral – Carnelian
- Root or Base – Smoky Quartz
The energy center at your crown is the connection to your higher power/higher self. Clear quartz is considered the master healer, restoring you to your highest frequency and bringing balance to your crown.
Your 3rd Eye is the energy center at your brow which brings insight and heightened intuition. Amethyst supports a calm, clear mind balancing the energy center at your brow and bringing clear vision.
The energy center at your throat facilitates communication. Effective communication is supported by sodalite as it restores balance to your throat.
Your central energy center, your heart, is the energy center that supports compassion and Universal love. Rose quartz emanates energy at this same frequency, balancing your heart energy. This in turn balances the energy between your upper and lower energy centers.
Your solar plexus is an energy center and nerve center. It balances your ego and will. Citrine brings balance as it resonates with this energy and supports a self-confident attitude.
Your sacral energy center is the seat of your creative abilities. Use carnelian to support your creativity in every way as it brings balance to the sacral energy center.
The energy center at your base is what roots you, creating stability and security. Smoky quartz balances this energy center, and creates a line of balance upward to your crown stimulating a sense of balance.
The stones in The Balance Bag can best be used to create crystal elixirs, in gazing meditations, placed in your hand to draw balancing energy, or placed on your body near the corresponding energy center to create a balancing energy circuit.
Crystal Elixir
Crystal elixir brings the benefits of each stone in liquid form.
Make your crystal elixir in the morning sunlight by placing your chosen crystal between the sun and a clear glass vessel containing spring or distilled water.
Store your completed elixir in the refrigerator for short periods or freeze for longer storage.
Once you have crafted your elixir, you can:
- add a few drops to your drinking water or herbal tea and sip through the day
- anoint the energy center, or centers, that you want to support
- mix a few drops with oil or moisturizer and massage into your body
Crystal Gazing Meditation
In a crystal gazing meditation, your focus on your chosen crystal is the key.
To prepare, place a crystal at eye level. Dim the light in the room and highlight your chosen crystal. Sit comfortably in front of your crystal and fix your gaze on it.
Allow your gaze to soften but try not to blink. Imagine your inhalation filling you with the energy of this crystal and your exhalation releasing any residue.
Set a time then sit it in this way for your chosen time. Begin with 1 to 3 minutes, then try working up to 15 minutes, directing your attention back to your crystal if it wanders. Be sure to close and rest your eyes for the equivalent time after your meditation is complete.
Clear and store your crystals.
Receiving crystal balancing energy through your palm
For this practice, you will draw balancing energy from the crystals through visualizations and your breath.
Place your chosen crystal, or crystals, in the palm of your left hand.
First, soften your gaze, or close your eyes if that feels comfortable, and focus on your inhalation and exhalation.
After a few breaths, envision your breath coming in through your left side, then leaving through your right side. Slowly fine tune your focus so that what is coming into you moves through the crystal, or crystals, in your left hand, bringing in their benefits and balancing their corresponding energy centers. Release what feels like imbalance back to the Universe through your right hand.
Continue in this way until you feel balanced.
When you feel ready, bring your attention back to your breath moving in and out through your nose. Breathe this way for three to five breaths, bringing your attention back to the present and releasing your focus.
Clear and store your crystals.
Create a crystal energy balancing circuit
For this practice you will create an energy balancing circuit using your crystals and visualization.
Choose a location where you can recline comfortably. Place your crystal, or crystals, close at hand. You may choose to also have some paper tape to hold your crystals in place.
Begin at your feet, placing your smoky quartz between them. Envision energy flowing from the earth upward into your feet. This energy may take the color of your smoky quartz or some other rich earth tone. It may create a sense of security and stability.
Move up your body, placing each stone on the corresponding energy center. As you do so, visualize balancing energy moving upward from the last energy center. You may also choose to see the energy shifting color in your mind’s eye.
Once all the stones are placed and you are reclining, focus on your breath, the in and out rhythm. After a few breaths, envision your energy moving in the same rhythm, up the left side of your body, down the right.
Visualize the support of the Earth flowing in through the sole of your left foot, moving upward lighting each energy center through to your crown where the energy shifts back downward balancing each energy center on the way back to the soles of your feet.
Your focus is on the energy circuit that you create and on the balance that it brings.
When you feel balanced, bring your attention back to your breath moving in and out through your nose. Breathe this way for three to five breaths, bringing your attention back to the present and releasing your focus.
Remove your crystals and clear them before storing.
