How to choose your own chakra aligned crystals through colour, intuition and energy
Many people ask whether we sell formal chakra kits. Although we do not offer a set bundle, every crystal on the website includes its chakra alignment so you can choose the pieces that genuinely speak to you. This is often far more powerful than a pre selected kit because your body and intuition will naturally draw you towards the crystal you need.
Every crystal listing on the website includes its chakra correspondence, so as you browse you can notice which colours and stones you feel drawn to. This helps you choose pieces that support the chakra you are naturally working with, without needing a formal kit.
Crystals and chakras fit beautifully together because both work with vibration and colour. Each chakra is associated with a colour and specific emotional themes. When you understand that, choosing your own chakra aligned crystals becomes very simple and intuitive.
If you practise Reiki or other energy work, crystals can offer gentle support during sessions. Many Reiki practitioners place crystals near the corresponding chakra or hold them while sending energy. There is no right or wrong way. The most important thing is to stay present, trust what you feel, and keep it simple.
Below is an easy to follow guide to help you understand which crystals align with each chakra and why the colours matter.
Root Chakra
Colour: Red or black
Theme: Stability, grounding, safety
The Root Chakra is your foundation. It helps you feel steady and anchored. Red and black crystals hold a slow, grounding frequency that brings you back into your body.
Crystal examples: Red Jasper, Hematite, Black Tourmaline, Smokey Quartz.
Sacral Chakra
Colour: Orange
Theme: Creativity, emotion, sensuality
This centre governs emotion, flow, and your ability to feel inspired. Orange crystals carry warm, life giving energy that supports emotional release and creative expression.
Crystal examples: Carnelian, Orange Calcite.
Solar Plexus Chakra

How to choose your own chakra crystals
Crystals and colours offer a simple structure, but your intuition will always guide you best. Here are a few gentle prompts to help you choose.
-
Which colour am I most drawn to today
-
Where do I feel tension or emotion in my body
-
What support do I need right now grounding, comfort, clarity, strength
-
Which crystal feels good in my hand or catches my eye
There is no need to overthink it. Your body knows exactly what you need.
Using crystals with Reiki or energy work
If you practise Reiki, crystals can be placed:
-
On or near each chakra
-
Held in the hand during meditation
-
Around the body to create a supportive energy field
Some practitioners use a pendulum to check flow in each chakra then place the crystal that matches the colour of that centre. Others simply choose the stones they feel called to use. Both approaches are equally valid. Allow your intuition to guide you. You can read more about how to use a pendulum here.
Final reflection
When you choose your own chakra crystals rather than a pre made kit, you begin a more intuitive relationship with your energy. Notice the colours you feel drawn to. Notice where you feel things in your body. Notice how certain crystals make you feel supported and grounded.
Your energy shifts through the seasons and through your everyday life which means your crystals will shift with you.
