In my research on crystal color meanings, I came upon the work of Edgar Cayce. A great psychic who had contributed a lot to the studies and uses of crytals.

I was prompted to look into the uses of crystals many years back. Some friends asked whether there is any amulet for their newborn babies. I recommended them to use crystals.

However, please do not think of crystals as "talismans" or "good luck charms". Cayce said this:

"We find that the crystal as a stone, or any white stone, has a helpful influence - if carried about the body; not as an omen, not merely as "good luck piece" or "good luck charm" but these vibrations that are needed as helpful influences for the entity as well to be kept close about the body."

Crystals have been used for ages. And the healing powers are known to many psychics. Among them is of course Edgar Cayce.

Now, discover the healing power of crystals of different colors according to Edgar Cayce.

Here is just a partial list of crystal color meanings. They are just a general guideline. Every individual is different and reacts differently to the color and type of crystals. If you feel uneasy or your skin reacts badly to the contact of a particular crystal, stop using it.

This color radiates with vitality. As an animating force, it promotes circulation and gives impetus to the procreative process and creative endeavor. Red is used to treat blood diseases and colds. It is anti-depressant and combats lethargy. Nervous complaints, however, are only aggravated by red.

Crystal: Sardonyx, carnelian, ruby.

Chakra: First chakra or root chakra. It is related to your basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. Blockages in this area make it difficult to manifest life's most basic necessities.

Treats: Anemia, paralysis, circulatory problems. Carnelian treats sinus very well. Ruby heals the heart both physically and emotionally. The study of 5 elements associated the heart to fire element which is also red color.

Orange is expansive mentally and physically, assisting in the assimilation of thought as well as food. Its vibration bears upon the procreation process. The blend of red and yellow arouses the mind to greater awareness. It is used to relieve repressions, while excessive exposure to orange may lead to overindulgence, in some cases.

Crystal: Citrine

Chakra: Second chakra or sacral chakra. It is about sexual energy, the process of creation, and your ability to manifest abundance. Blockages in this area could lead to creative blocks, poor finances, or health problems in the reproductive areas.

Treats: Cholera, bronchitis, kidney ailments.

Yellow is associated with the mind. Its forces act upon the nervous system and digestive functions. It is strengthening in its effect on the nerves and helps in cleansing the system through its vibrations by stimulating the intestines and liver. This color is also used for skin problems.

Crystal: Topaz (in yellow).

Chakra: Third chakra or solar plexus chakra. It is about your power and your ability to stand up for yourself and how secure you feel in the world on more of a mental level, than in the survival mode of the root chakra center. Blockages in this area mean you are having a hard time facing things, or standing your ground. An overactive solar plexus, however, leads to greed, lack of feeling or regard to others, and ruthlessness.

Treats: Diabetes, constipation, liver ailments.

The color of nature and abundance, green is the renewing force, bringing strength and harmony. Calming to the nervous system, it works to revitalize the nerves, circulation, and heart. It offers enriching and restorative vibrations to mind and body through the powers of blue and yellow components.

Crystal: Topaz, chrysolite, peridot, jade, emerald.

Chakra: Fourth chakra or heart chakra. This is related to life and growth. Blockages in the heart center cause all kinds of health problems including heart attack, stroke, and blocked and crooked arteries. Emotionally, they can cause people to be cold, unfeeling, or withdrawn.

Treats: Ulcers, cancer, neuralgia. Topaz brings so much light and joy to people, it would surely lift the spirit of anyone who uses it. Chrysolite and peridot aid in depression, to quiet and calm worries, and to bring peace to the mind. Jade brings a calm dignity to those who wear it.

Serenity and peace are promoted through the cooling effect of blue. It is antiseptic and works to rid the body of infections. Blue is soothing to the nervous system and helps reduce agitation and related stresses such as insomnia and nervousness. It also helps combat fevers and skin irritations.

Crystal: Blue chalcedony, blue opal, aqua aura, azurite flower, aquamarine.

Chakra: Fifth chakra or throat chakra is associated with light blue color. It relates to how you express yourself to the world. Blockages in this area can cause all kinds of problems both physically and emotionally. Cancers, nervous tremors, thyroid conditions and gum diseases can all result from the frustration of feeling unable to express yourself.

Treats: Epilepsy, jaundice, childhood diseases.

Indigo is a good color for a variety of conditions, particularly mental disorders. It arouses the mind to higher purposes through pragmatic application from its spiritual influence. The effect is both expansive and purifying upon the emotions as it acts to stabilize nervous disorders much in the way blue does.

Crystal: Amethyst. Lapis.

Chakra: Sixth chakra or third eye chakra. Blockages in this area can cause life to be difficult. You may find yourself running into walls by not listening to the tiny voice within. These can also cause headaches and strain on the physical eyes.

Treats: Paralysis, asthma, lung diseases. Amethyst is a meditation aid, quiets the mind, eases depression, and assists those who wish to develop skills of a seer, or psychic.

This attains to the highest in healing - the energy of red joined with the spiritual healing of blue - to bring regeneration. Violet is especially stimulating to the nervous system, helping to activate healing of brain damage and relieving neuroses, as well as inflammation of nerves and eye injuries.

Crystal: Amethyst.

Chakra: Same with indigo.

Treats: Rheumatism, neuralgia, bladder, kidney.

The seventh chakra is the crown chakra. It is white color.

There you have it, the crystal color meanings and their uses. You can wear the crystals like a pendant or a ring. Some people put the crystals near their beds. Or by the pillows. Some carry them in the pockets. Direct contact with the body is the best. I wear them near my heart.

From time to time you can wear different type of crystals according to the crystal color meanings above. Also what your body tells you to wear. Sometimes we feel like wearing a blue crystal. Sometimes red. Just listen to the voice in your body. Refer to the above crystal color meanings often as a guide.
