Chakra Bracelet Benefits – Balance & Healing
Mar
Chakra bracelet benefits are numerous. Each crystal on the bracelet represents a chakra in your body. The crystals vibrate with energy that affects your chakras and can help balance and heal them.
If you’ve been feeling off a 7 chakra bracelet can help bring balance back into your body. If you’ve been dealing with anxiety and stress it can help calm you.
If you have a big deadline coming up but have been experiencing a creative block, a chakra bracelet can help with that. It can help with any imbalance in your 7 chakras. If one chakra is off then its likely that the others are imbalanced too.
What are the 7 chakras?
The 7 chakras are energy centers that run through your body starting from the root chakra at the base of your spine all the way up to your crown chakra above the top of your head. The 7 chakras connect your physical and etheric bodies.
The physical body is made up of your skin, bones, organs, fluids, thoughts and beliefs while your etheric body is made of your energy, spirituality, emotions and your connection to the higher realms.

Do Chakra Bracelets Work?
When there’s an imbalance in one of your energy centers or chakras it affects the others. Working with crystals can help bring balance back into your energetic systems and ease physical ailments.
Chakra bracelets may be an effective way to bring alignment and balance to all 7 chakras. 7 chakra bracelets are designed to help balance your body and bring about healing.
How do I know if I need a chakra bracelet?
If you feel any of the imbalances listed in the chakra descriptions above or feel a sense of unbalance than wearing a chakra bracelet may help.
Wearing a chakra bracelet and setting an intention for wearing the bracelet can help balance and ground you. It may open you up and bring clarity to your purpose.
Do you feel drawn to the chakra bracelet? Let your intuition guide you. If you came to this post, chances are you’re feeling drawn or being intuitively led to a chakra bracelet.
I wear crystal jewelry and choose bracelets I want to wear for the day based on what I feel drawn to at the moment. Usually when I look up the crystal meanings of the bracelet I chose I find it’s what I need or I’ll feel a sense of calm when wearing it.
If you feel drawn to a particular piece, trust your intuition that it’s a piece you need right now.
How to wear a chakra bracelet
Cleanse your chakra bracelet
Proper care of your chakra bracelet will help the crystals maintain the highest vibrational energy possible. This will allow them to function the best they can for you.
The crystals in your 7 chakra bracelet have a pure vibration. As you wear them or as they travel from place to place before you own them, the energy they’re exposed to affects the vibration of the crystals. So you need to cleanse them of the energies they picked up before you wear them.
You should cleanse them weekly for the highest vibration. I don’t mean dusting them or washing them with soap and water. I mean cleansing their energy with smoke, moonlight, sunlight or sound so they can vibrate at their highest level.
Cleanse your chakra bracelet when you first receive it and then cleanse it weekly or less often depending on how often you wear it.
How to cleanse your chakra bracelet for the highest vibration
Smoke is an effective crystal cleanser and is super easy to do. There are many herbs and woods that produce cleansing smoke like palo santo, white sage, lavender, cedar and frankincense. Smoke your crystal bracelet by lighting your herbs or wood on fire, letting it burn a little until it begins to smolder and then blowing it out. Hold the crystal bracelet over the smoke or lay it down and direct the smoke to the crystal bracelet with a feather for at least 30 seconds.
I like to say an affirmation three times when I smudge my crystal bracelets.
“I cleanse this crystal bracelet of stuck energies so that it may vibrate at its highest level.”
There are other ways to cleanse your chakra bracelets including placing them in the moonlight during a full moon, in the sunlight, and using sounds like Tibetan singing bowls or chimes.
Set an intention for your chakra bracelet
I love this practice of setting an intention for your chakra bracelet before wearing it, because it lets the universe know your desires. In turn the universe can help you manifest your intention. Setting an intention can be as easy as saying an affirmation or writing the affirmation down. The more specific you are with your intention, the better the universe will understand and support you.
Hold your chakra bracelet in your dominant hand and say out loud your affirmation three times.
For example, if you have a big presentation at work that day you might say an affirmation like “I speak with clarity and my peers understand me.”
Or maybe you’re wearing the chakra bracelet to bring overall balance into your life. In that case you may affirm
“I balance all areas of my life. All is well”.
Meditate with your chakra bracelet
Use your chakra bracelet in your meditation practice to help you focus and bring in the crystal energies. Simply hold the crystal in your hand while you meditate.
You can use it as a guide for a chakra meditation by focusing on each crystal related to your chakras.You can also place the crystal bracelet on a specific chakra while you meditate to help balance it.
Wear your chakra bracelet often
To ensure you have crystal energies with you throughout the day, wear your bracelet. Wear it on whichever wrist feels right to you and for as long as you want to channel the energies of the chakra crystals. If you wear it daily don’t forget to cleanse it more often, to get the most out of it.
