We as humans have differentiated ourselves from all other animals by our ability to create and use tools.

Tools have been an integral part of our existence all throughout history as they allow us to do extraordinary things like moving heavy loads with the use of a lever, capturing moments in time with the use of a camera, and even speaking to each other through long distances with the use of a cell phone.

We have tools for pretty much everything we want to do in our life, including the fulfillment of our spiritual goals with the use of chakra beads.

There are many different ways people use their chakra beads in their day-to-day lives. For example, some people like wearing them around their neck or wrist as an accessory because they believe it helps with balancing out the energy centers of the body – essentially keeping them grounded. Others like using them during meditation sessions by counting the beads to track the number of mantras that are being chanted during the meditation.

In this blog post, you will learn exactly what these chakra beads are, and why they are so powerful for your spirituality.

What Are Chakra Beads?

Chakra beads are a powerful tool for physical, mental, and spiritual healing. They are beads made with specific crystals or gemstones that naturally vibrate on high frequencies and are able to restore the original vibration of each one of your 7 chakras, healing your body back into balance.

The word “chakra” has been translated to mean “wheel” in Sanskrit; these beads are used to represent the belief that there are 7 energy centers in the human body that correlate with different physical, emotional, and spiritual states.

They are specifically used to maintain balance, carry protection from negative energies, aid energy healing practices, enhance yoga sessions, and work as focal points for meditation. They can be worn as jewelry in the form of bracelets, necklaces, anklets, rings, or earrings.

Chakra Beads (also known as mala beads) were originally inspired by a Hindu practice of using 108 prayer beads for meditation, plus another bead known as a guru bead that is moved between various points in the sequence as a way to tally how many times the prayer has been chanted.

The chakra beads are a very simple and interactive way to learn about your chakras. They also make a very nice subtle addition to your jewelry. They help you become attuned to your 7 energy centers, which are the basis for everything from your physical health to your emotional balance.

Thus, learning more about them will benefit all areas of your life!

What Are Chakra Beads Made Of?

Authentic chakra beads are made of natural crystals and gemstones that have been extracted from the Earth. These gemstones are carefully cut and polished into the shape of round beads to create a huge variety of jewelry.

There are tons of different crystals and gemstones out there in the world, but they are not all useful for creating chakra beads because the gemstones have to carry some specific properties in order to have an effect on your chakras. 

For example, ruby, red jasper, and smoky quartz crystals are great for balancing your root chakra, while emerald, jade, and green tourmaline are better for balancing your heart chakra.

You should always make sure that your chakra jewelry uses authentic crystals and gemstones because this kind of jewelry has become extremely popular, making many stores pop up with fake or altered gemstone beads.

Also, make sure to cleanse the beads before you start wearing them because in some cases they might bring negative energy stored in them which can make the chakra beads dangerous as you will absorb this negative energy.

What Do The Chakra Stones Mean?

The gemstones or crystals of the chakra beads symbolize our connection with the world around us and the chakras represent our core relationship with ourselves. Each one of the 7 chakras is associated with a color, an element, an emotion, and even some specific organs or body parts.

When your chakras are out of balance or blocked, there can be negative effects on your mental health, physical well-being, and even spiritual development.  Sometimes it’s hard to tell if your chakras are unbalanced because they’re subtle imbalances that may not have visible symptoms at first glance. 

Gemstones found on the Earth with specific colors and properties actually vibrate on the same frequency as our chakras with the same colors and are able to bring back balance to our chakras through resonant frequency whenever you bring the gemstone close to its corresponding chakra.

Here is the meaning of the 7 chakra stone colors:

1. Red: The Root Chakra

This chakra is located at the base of your spine. Its color is red and it is associated with physical energy, our sense of security, and our ability to be grounded in the present. When this chakra is balanced, we feel safe in our environment.

Red is the color of passion and desire that can be aggressive or nurturing.

2. Orange: The Sacral Plexus Chakra

This chakra is located in your lower abdomen, around the area of your navel. Its color is orange and it is associated with your ability to be creative, self-confident, loving, and your physical drive. When this chakra is balanced you feel vibrant and full of energy.

4. Green: The Heart Chakra

This chakra is located in the upper chest and has a green color. It represents our love, creativity, and compassion. When this chakra is balanced we are able to love ourselves and others unconditionally.

Do Chakra Beads Really Work?

The effectiveness of these chakra beads, like any chakra stone, is dependent upon a number of factors:

1. Intention – The main thing is to have an intention when you are working with your chakras. If you believe that the stones will work for you, then they will act as a catalyst to help you reach your goals.

2. Frequency – There are many different frequencies on this planet and some of them are not compatible with each other. If you want to have a harmonious relationship with your chakra stones, you need to be very mindful about wearing them. 

3. Meaning – chakras are not just physical stones. They represent something more than just physical objects. It is important that you are attuned to the meaning behind the stones that you use in your meditations and rituals.

4. Attunement – wearing chakra stones is not like wearing any other jewelry. You need to be attuned to the properties of these objects and have a balanced relationship with them. This can be achieved by using visualization.

5. Gems – If you want your chakra beads to work for you, you need to pay attention to the quality of the gems that they are made of, as well as their color and size. Every gemstone has specific properties and it is up to you to choose the stones that resonate with you.

Each chakra bead represents a special part of our body and personality; it also stands for a different level of consciousness. Working with your chakras is like working with your thoughts, emotions, and energy. The power of these beads lies in their color and shape. The more you wear them, the more effective they are.
