2. Clear the Space for Your Healing Session

Before you have a crystal healing session for your throat chakra, you should prepare and clean the space.

The space you choose to have your 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 when using palo santo, make sure you ventilate the area very well afterwards and then invoke positive energy by burning white sage.

Once your space is cleaned and cleared, the next step is to prepare your crystals.

3. Cleanse and Prepare the Crystals

When you acquire crystals for your throat chakra and any crystal, you should clean them from any energy they may have picked in their journey.

There are several techniques to cleanse your crystals, the safest one for any kind of 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 clear, you need to charge them to unlock all of their energy. To charge your crystals, place them under sunlight. This will excite the atoms in the crystals and get them ready to share their vibration with you.

If you plan to place the crystals directly onto the skin, warm up the crystals under 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 the Specific Areas to Heal Your Throat Chakra

When choosing which crystals to use for your throat chakra healing, consider the properties of each crystal, such as if it has a calming effect, supports intuition or helps with expression.
Think about what you would like to alleviate, eliminate or balance. If you are unsure as to what are the signs that your throat chakra is out of balance, check out this article.

Lay down and make sure you keep warm during the crystal healing session.
To balance the throat chakra with crystals, you don’t need to place them directly on your throat, as this can be uncomfortable. Instead place the stones and crystals on the upper chest, shoulders and close to the neck, or the bed by the side of your neck.

You can enhance the effect of crystals on the throat chakra by wearing them as jewellery like necklaces, bracelets, anklets or simply by carrying them in your bag or purse. You can also spread them around your home as decorations. Focus on the places where you spend most of the time at home or your job.

5. Let the Crystals Do the Healing

Be open to feeling and experiencing your emotions, and allow the crystals to heal your throat chakra.

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

If you wish to create an ambience, you could also play a guided meditation, a mantra, affirmations or a binaural beat for your throat 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 stones and crystals and be open to receiving their guidance. You may fall asleep during your session, so ask someone to check on you to finish your session or set an alarm to wake you up. Consider setting an alarm that is mild and won’t wake you up too dramatically.

6. Close Your Healing Session

Once you finish your throat chakra balancing session, you need to clean your crystals from the energy they absorbed.

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.

7. Reflect on Your Throat Chakra Healing Session

After each throat chakra balancing session, it may help you write down how you felt before, during and after the session.

When healing your throat chakra you may expect changes with:

• Your self-expression
• Your communication
• Your confidence when you speak
• Your connection with yourself and others
• Your ability to openly express your emotions and opinions
• Your boundaries
• Your creativity

For the throat chakra healing, you would observe the power of your voice. You will have a sense of feeling heard and understood.

If you plan 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 each chakra, you can make an entry.
The entries can include the date, time, the healing method (e.g. crystals, asanas, meditation, oils, etc.), and what you felt before, during and after each chakra balancing session.
