“I don't think it's by happenstance that everything is set up this way at all,” Hopkins says, “Basically you have your endocrine system, which is your adrenals - flight or flight,” she notes. She notes that this chakra is very near the adrenal system. It represents your foundation, safety, and security, Hopkins tells NYLON. The first chakra is the root chakra, or Muladhara in Sanskrit, and is located at the base of the spine. “It’s definitely a tried-and-true guide.” “ is certainly something I recommend to beginners,” Anjie Best, founder and owner of Peach and Pixie, tells NYLON.
Each chakra is tied to a color, making it pretty easy to guess a crystal’s general properties or associated chakra even if you’ve never heard of the stone before. Each has a slew of correlating crystals, but luckily, you don’t have to memorize everything individually.
While there are hundreds of energy wheels throughout the body, there are seven main chakras: the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third-eye, and crown. “Then when it comes to crystals, they too have their own meanings and vibrations.” You can match up the meanings of different crystals with certain chakras and use the stone’s energy with that of the chakra.
You cannot pass go if that's not met,” she notes, explaining that often it’s a good idea to start chakra work with this first base chakra and work your way up from there. “The first chakra and the first base of that pyramid is safety and security. “I almost liken the chakras to like Maslow's hierarchy of needs,” Hopkins tells NYLON. This can be done through a number of practices like yoga, mantras, meditation, and crystal healing, to name a few. The goal with chakra healing is to align and “open” these energy centers for an overall sense of harmony through the mind, body, and spirit. “They’re energetic centers, not things you can see,” Paula Hopkins, founder and owner of Chakra Zulu Crystals, tells NYLON, “and they have emotional ties, everything is connected.” The different chakras rule over various emotions, and this explains why you can physically feel things like guilt, shame, joy, and excitement in certain areas of the body. The word chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, representing the wheels of energy that flow through the body. Originating in ancient India, the chakra system is a pillar of practice within certain forms of Hinduism and Buddhism. In fact, there are tons of crystals for each chakra to help keep your energy in check. Rose quartz correlates to the heart chakra, aka the energy center for love, while citrine connects with the powerful solar plexus chakra. So what does rose quartz have to do with love? Why is everyone so adamant about getting their hands on citrine to help them manifest? It all comes back to the ancient system of chakras. The earth’s stones are believed to hold all kinds of different properties to harness positive energies and ward off bad vibes. Natural substances have been used for physical, spiritual, and emotional healing for thousands of years.
It’s no marketing gimmick that pretty pink rose quartz is known as a “love” crystal.
