Chakra bracelets are beautiful, but they're also essential in keeping your chakras, or energy points, open. You'll notice 7 colorful crystals on your bracelet—each of these represents a chakra. Some people believe that when they're activated and open, the crystals' natural vibrations can pick up good energy that you put into them. Read on to learn the simple process for activating your chakra bracelet.

1

Cleanse your chakra bracelet.

  1. Submerge the bracelet in a bowl of charging items. Spiritual Advisor Emily Christensen cautions, "neutral energy, something that is not tainted one way or the other, is the most balancing for our body. When you buy crystals, the energy of [anyone who has interacted with the crystal] rubs off. So make sure you're clearing your bracelet." She shares her own clearing process: "I make a healing bath for my crystals." She goes on to explain, "I have a salt bowl, and I bought hematite [and] rosemary [and] I have a bunch of tiny little crystals. And I just put [things that need to be cleared] in there. I have Amethyst in there too." She even clears her own energy by sticking her hands in the bowl from time to time. [1]

Remove negative energy from the bracelet.

  1. Expose the bracelet to sunlight, moonlight, or smoke. Spiritual advisor Emily Christensen highlights, "if you really want to charge [your bracelet] with good energy, use Reiki sunlight." She also cautions, "be careful with moonlight because you're working with the shadow elements of our psyche, so there's always more of a lesson involved in charging anything with moonlight." [3] There are lots of ways to cleanse negative energy from your crystals, so use your favorite method. You could set the bracelet out under sunlight or moonlight for instance, or burn sage, so the smoke can cleanse the crystals.[4]
    • You could even submerge your bracelet in dry, brown rice and leave it overnight. Then, discard the rice, so you don't consume the negative energy.
6

Focus your energy into the bracelet.

  1. Think about what you want the bracelet to do as you focus. Usually, when you charge crystals, you assign them a task to do. As Spiritual Advisor Emily Christensen shares, it's important to "understand what your intention is. Is it just to balance your chakras? Is it to amplify your energy, give you protection?" [8] Or maybe you're hoping for healing, new opportunities, more emotional connection, or relief from anxiety.[9]
    • Keep your intentions positive. For example, instead of dwelling on the anxiety you're feeling, visualize the calm, peaceful mindset that you're hoping to achieve.

Recite a mantra or affirmation.

    I mean, it depends on your intentions. You can go to a crystal therapist and ask them to recommend certain stones for what you desire. Or, you can check a crystal encyclopedia, where you'll find thousands of different stones you can use.

    When you wear a seven-chakra bracelet, you manifest healing energy in your body. In your active state, you don't feel them. But when you're in meditate state you feel the pulsating frequency from top to bottom.
