It is the first day of August. A new month to talk about Chakra Balance. At the beginning of each month, we go back to My Head Knows…But My Heart Still Hurts to speak about daily Montras for each month. July we were concentrating on declaring your independence by releasing anger, guilt. Finding forgiveness and kindness. Not giving up and being proud of how far we have come.

After doing all of that work in July, now is the time to balance all that was released by concentrating on our Chakras. We have 7 basic chakras. Each chakra is connected to a different energy source and different color to concentrate on. This falls in-line with our daily “mantras” and “to do” for each day of the week.

Mondays: Root Chakra – Red – To Do: Focus on being grounded. Take your shoes off and stand in the grass. Common stones to use in meditation are Red Jasper: the supreme nurturing stone. It aids in endurance, and stamina and pushes through whatever you are faced with. I also like to use black tourmaline for protection of the roots with which I stand.

Tuesdays: Sacral Chakra – Orange – Pleasure. To Do: Focus on a relationship that brings you pleasure. Common stones to use in meditation are Carnelian which enables you to flourish, gives you creativity and gives your spirit vitality. I also like to use Orange Calcite to aide in your daily life expression. Removes tiredness and sparks positivity.

Wednesday: Solar Plexus – Yellow – Self Esteem. Mantra: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Common stones to use in meditation are Citrine which is the stone of sunshine and harmony. It removes issues and boosts confidence. I also like to use Amber to aid helps to connect to your sensual side to show love to self.

Thursdays: Heart Chakra – Green – Love, compassion. Mantra: I love myself. Common stone to use is Azurite. It remind us to listen to our heart and body.

Fridays: Throat Chakra – Blue – Communication. Mantra: I will speak in truth and love. Common stones to use are Turquoise as it enhances communication, and confidence to speak. Blue Kyanite helps bring you out of a bad mood to speak nonjudgment on others.

Saturday: Third Eye – Indigo – Intuition/Imagination. To Do: I will be aware of my gut instincts. Common stones to use are Lepidolite to help overthinking in stressful situations and Amethyst to help heal, soothe and restore clarity.

Sunday: Crown Chakra – Violet or White – Awareness. Mantra: I will see clarity today. Common stone to use are quartz to offer Insite and clarity and moonstone which opens the heart light bringing wisdom to teach us our path.
