Amethyst crystals are purple-colored varieties of quartz that are relatively inexpensive, easy to find, and easy for beginners to use to open chakras. Even though Amethyst is frequently used to open the third eye chakra, brow chakra, or Anja chakra to heighten intuition, it can be used for unblocking all the energy centers called chakras. In this post, I’ll discuss the healing power of Amethyst, how to use amethyst to open the third eye chakra as well as provide ways it can be used to open all of the seven major chakras.

What is the healing powers of Amethyst?

Amethyst is a variety of Quartz with iron inclusions therefore, it has similar vibrational characteristics. “One of the most amazing properties of quartz is the ability of its crystals to vibrate at precise frequencies.” according to geology.com. If the vibrational frequency is able to resonate with the vibrational frequency of a chakra, a crystal can loosen stagnant energy from the spiritual energy point and unblock it to allow energy flow. The vibrational frequency of the Amethyst crystal has historically been used by healers to loosen stagnant energy in the brow chakra and unblock it even though there is no scientific evidence to prove it.

What chakra is Amethyst good for?

Amethyst’s vibration resonates most closely with the frequency of the Third Eye Chakra, Brow Chakra, or Anja Chakra. Amethyst can be used most successfully to settle the mental anxieties of the third eye chakra because of its association with thinking, planning, and organization. However, I find it calms and settles the energy in all of my seven major chakras. Here are my top 5 crystals for unblocking chakras.

HOW DO YOU USE AMETHYST FOR HEALING CHAKRAS?

Amethyst is widely used by healers to activate the spiritual energy point of intuition called the third eye chakra, brow chakra, or Anja chakra. It is also said to protect against psychic attacks for the same reason.

JEWELRY

Since Amethyst is a hard crystal and relatively inexpensive it is popular for jewelry designs like this. The darker more saturated purple color is the most sought after and therefore, the most expensive. In addition to its beauty, the benefits of wearing Amethyst are that it can balance chakras and calm anxiety.

HOME DECOR

Amethyst clusters and geodes are popular home decor items. Some pieces of Amethyst are large enough to stand on their own and can reach up to several feet across. Other pieces are smaller and can be attached to wooden bases and incorporated into desktop lamps like this. I prefer the rough, natural varieties of Amethyst over the polished varieties but it is a matter of choice and they all give off a vibration.

SLEEPING

Place a piece of Amethyst near your bed or hold a small piece of Amethyst in your hand while you sleep to align your chakras with its calming energy. I suggest using a tumbled variety of Amethyst if you are going to sleep with it in your bed. I have a few smaller Amethyst crystals shown below that I routinely use for sleeping.

HEALING

Amethyst wands like this are frequently used by healers to focus the energy of the brow chakra into a single point. Amethyst pendulums like this are used to heighten intuition.

MEDITATING WITH AMETHYST

I personally like to use crystals and stones for meditation as they are filled with potential energy just waiting to be released. As soon as I connect with a crystal or stone during meditation, the vibration can be felt and used to open chakras.

That’s it, a summary of ways I use Amethyst to open chakras. Wear a piece of Amethyst jewelry, add an Amethyst geode or lamp to your home decor, sleep with a piece of Amethyst in your hand, place some by your bedside or begin to meditate with an Amethyst to settle anxieties, open your third eye chakra and heighten your intuition.
