As part of my long wish, the introduction to stones and crystals for sacral chakra healing is one of the three foundation bricks upon which you can then start building your energetic body development.
The second chakra or the sacral chakra is the center of your creativity, passion, and sensuality. It’s the center of your pleasure, whether sensual or through your everyday life experiences.
The sacral chakra, or by its Sanskrit name Svadhishthana, is the center of power and the center of passion.

How to use the stones and crystals for sacral chakra healing
The best method is by placing the respective crystal or stone over your energy points, such as chakras.
But, having the majority of stones aesthetically pleasing it’s very easy to wear them as jewelry.
Bracelets or pendants being the most popular because these locations place the stones over your vital pulse points.
You could choose the more discreet approach by wearing them as rings or earrings.
Crystals and stones could be placed in key locations inside your living environment.
For example, you could place them on your desk or near you while doing meditation. Also, you could place them in the main four corners of your room.
There are some stones, like Orange Calcite, for example, that can be placed under your pillow. Doing so will ward off nightmares.
Another method to use these stones and gems is the crystal or gem water bottle.
There are many options to choose from on the market, but if you’re a DIY fan you can make one yourself.
Have your preferred crystal placed inside a glass bottle and then fill that bottle with fresh water. Ideally, you should allow a small period of time to pass before consuming it.
That way you allow the crystal water bottle to revitalize and restructure your drink(s).
Nowadays, it’s easier and cheaper to artificially produce crystals, stones and gems. Not saying that man-made crystals are not efficient, but if you do that choose some that have a little life prior to their shelf life.
That’s why I insist on always choosing to use natural crystals and stones since most of them are widespread and relatively cheap.
By doing so, you can be sure that those gems and stones are very well charged.
Take Amber for example which is believed to be millions of years old. Imagine what kind of powerful energies this stone can hold.
Choose the properties, not the package.
So, to recap here is how you can use stones and crystals for sacral chakra healing:
- Can be worn as jewelry
- Placed on vital points on your body – chakra stones
- Used in key locations inside your living environment
- Inside a crystal water bottle
Here are some basic usage tips:
- Avoid combining soft and hard stones. For example, amber is very soft, while hematite is very hard.
- Do not spray or use any beauty products on them.
- Do not wear them during sunbathing.
- To be washed regularly with room temperature water and mild soap. Do not use detergents or other cleaning products.
- Clean and dry them with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing them to extreme temperature variations, especially from very cold to very hot.
- Take them off when going for a bath in swimming pools and/or ocean/sea. Swimming pool water has a lot of chlorine and ocean/seawater is salty, both can alter your crystals.
- It goes without saying but try not to wear them during workouts. Sweat can cause corrosion.
Not all stones can be washed!
Please make sure that you can expose them to water before cleaning with water.
For example, Angelite turns to gypsum when it comes in contact with water.
