Crystal Alignments and Red Garnet

Yesterday on "There's A Rock For That!" radio show I talked about how we can use different crystals to align our chakras.  I gave a lot of options for crystals that can be used for each of the 7 main chakras.  There are more chakras, but I was barely able to cover the main 7 in the time allotted on the show.  So we may revisit the topic of the chakras in a future episode and explore more of them.  

I shared lots of stones which can be used for each chakra.  There are many, many others as well.  That's why I find that working with the colors of the rainbow which correlate to the main chakras while following your intuition is a great way to discover the stones that may provide the best help to you for the specific issues you are dealing with in your life.

Here's a picture of my rainbow array of "chakra boxes" which I have found handy for storing stones which I like working with for each of the main chakras.  Over the years I've added stones to each box and given some away too.  When I have visitors, I'm always fascinated by how they always seem to be drawn right away to the boxes and to certain stones as well. 

Two books I mentioned on the show which I have found to be very helpful and to which I refer frequently are:  "Wheels of Life" by Anodea Judith and "Chakra Awakening" by Margaret Ann Lembo.  Both of these books have a plethora ideas about the chakras and ways of working with them.  "Chakra Awakening" in particular contains a lot of wonderful information about using crystals to work with the chakras.

The Crystal Guest on the show was Red Garnet.  This is a stone which I could have devoted the entire show to and still only scratched the surface.  So I hope, that if what I was able to share about it piqued your interest in this stone, you will explore it more on your own.
