Other crystals can be used to balance the solar plexus chakra. But, you may need more experience to combine the energies they create and how they combine with other crystals. So, keeping it simple with a few crystals will have the desired effect.

2. Clear the Space for Your Crystal Healing Session

Before you have a healing session with crystals, you should prepare and clean the space.

The space you choose to have a crystal healing session should be comfortable, quiet, and without drafts so that you can fully concentrate and be present during the healing session.

You may do the session yourself or ask someone to help you place the crystals on your body.

To cleanse the space, you can burn some incense and allow the smoke to fill the space.

The incense recommended for cleansing the space are:

• White sage clears the air of energetic impurities.
• Palo santo clears all the energy of the space, both positive and negative.
  Be mindful that when using palo santo, you need to ventilate the area, and then invoke positive energy by burning white sage.

3. Cleanse and Prepare the Crystals

When you acquire crystals, you should clean them from any energy they may have picked in their journey.

There are several techniques to cleanse your crystals, but one that is safe for any crystal is brown rice.

Use a glass or plastic container to avoid any reaction between the crystal and the material of the container
Place the rice in the container, put the crystals on top and leave overnight
Discard the rice in the morning

Once your crystals are cleansed you need to charge them to unlock all of their energy.

To charge your crystals, you can place them under sunlight. This will excite the atoms in the crystals.

If you plan to place the crystals directly onto the skin, warm up the crystals under the light of a lamp, or place a towel on a heater and put the crystals on top. This can also be useful if there is no sunlight when you are planning to do crystal healing.

4. Place the Crystals in Specific Areas to Heal Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The solar plexus chakra is located just below the central area between your rib cage.

• Place the crystals below the rib cage area, just above the navel. You can place them by the side of your body at the level of your diapragm. Use all of the crystals Amethyst, Citrine and Yellow calcite to get a more balanced outcome.

Stones and crystals can help you balance the vibration of your solar plexus chakra. Crystals for the solar plexus resonate to a certain vibration which excites the chakra and aligns it to that vibration.

5. Let the Crystals Do the Healing

Be open to feeling and experiencing your emotions. Allow the crystals to heal your solar plexus chakra. The stones and crystals will direct the right frequency to your solar plexus and balance it.

You can choose to be in silence and observe the thoughts and feelings that may come and go during this experience.

You could play a guided meditation, a mantra, affirmations or a binaural beat for your solar plexus chakra during the crystal healing session.

Leave the crystals to do their work for 10-20 mins.

Close your eyes and breathe deeply during your healing session. Connect to the crystals and be open to receiving their guidance. You may fall asleep during your session, so you may set a soft alarm to let you know when the time is up or ask someone to check on you to finish your session.

6. Close Your Healing Session

Once you finish your solar plexus chakra healing session, you need to clean your crystals from the energy they absorbed during their travelling.

You can do this by using a glass bowl filled with a mix of citrine and hematite chips. Place the crystals you used during your session on the chips mixture and leave them overnight.

Drink plenty of water after your crystal healing session.

7. Reflect on Your Solar Plexus Healing Session

After each solar plexus chakra healing session, it may help you write down how you felt before, during and after the session. A longer time observation can include the changes in different areas of your life.

When healing your solar plexus chakra you may expect positive changes with:

• Your confidence
• Your personal power
• Your life purpose
• Your decision making
• Your job and your work relationships
• Money
• Opportunities coming to you
• Increase emotional and physical strength
• Your liveliness

It is not uncommon to feel worse after a crystal healing session. This may be caused by the crystals drawing out the stuck energy from your body, as part of the healing process.

Continue having more sessions depending on how you feel, if you find your symptoms are getting better, you may only need one or two sessions more. If you find you are not seen many changes, you may need more sessions for the energy to flow effortlessly again.

If you are planning to work through all your chakras, it is a good idea to have a journal.
You can divide the journal into 7 parts with the colours of the chakras and whenever you do a session for a chakra, you can make an entry that includes the date, time, the healing method (e.g. crystals, asanas, oils, meditation, sound, etc), and your experience before, during and after the healing session.
