WITH FLO JEWELLERY Know Your Crystals

Crystals have been used for thousands of years as a source of healing power. Ancient cultures such as Egyptians and Sumerians used and wore healing crystals and stones to align, clear and transform their energy and ward off negativity.

As different crystals possess properties that vibrate at certain frequencies, they intermingle with our body energy system and raise vibration to facilitate emotional, mental, spiritual and physical healing. Here are our tips to choose crystals and stones by knowing your Chakras:

As each of our energy centres vibrates at a frequency with a color, corresponding crystals can be used to balance the specific chakra. The crystals can be worn or placed on the body for healing. Healing crystals are also powerful for chanting and meditation to help balance the chakras. Some sample chakra healing crystals:

Rose quartz is known for opening heart chakra with vibration of unconditional love. It can be used to attract love and balance emotions.

Amethyst is a natural tranquilliser that relieves stress. It can also be used to enhance intuition and protect from negativity.
