What does Yin and Yang have to do with Chakras?

Yin and Yang are the positive and negative forces in all things. Yin is the feminine and Yang is the masculine. They are two parts of a whole and must be equal. To feel healthy physically, spiritually and emotionally you need to balance these out.

What Do Crystals Have To Do With It?

Crystals are amazing at working with our bodies energy. Crystals can decrease and increase our Yin and Yang energies if we choose the right ones to work with.

Yin crystals are amber, aquamarine, agates, calcite, fluorite, jade, moonstone, clear quartz, amethyst, and rose quartz.

Yang crystals are Sapphire, rutilated quartz, smoky quartz, obsidian, lapis lazuli, malachite, gernet, diamond, carnelian, fire opal.

Holding a smoky quarz in the right hand and moonstone in the left hand helps to restore the body.

How To Practice Grounding

Grounding is a healthy way for us to deal with change and unwanted energy.

“Like a lightning bolt hitting a tree and traveling through the roots into the ground, your surges of energy need a place to go where they aren’t going to cause harm to you, to your psyche, or to your loved ones.”
Healing Crystals: Discover the Therapeutic Powers of Crystals (The Awakened Life) by Karen Ryan

Try sitting or standing barefoot on the ground. Making sure you are flat footed, and close your eyes and envision your feet having tree roots growing out of them. Bring those roots through the floor, into the dirt under your house, and keep going as much as you can. Wrap your roots around something to anchor you there. You want to feel sturdy, strong, and immobile.
