Do you often find yourself staring at a blank computer screen, struggling to find the creative inspiration you need? If so, it could be because your energy and life force aren’t flowing freely, causing a blockage in your sacral chakra.
When working on a creative project and the ideas aren’t coming, I like to get up, move around, dance, or take a hot shower. Another sacral chakra healing activity I find beneficial is working with crystals. Sacral chakra stones can activate the creative energies in your lower abdomen, balance your emotions and bring a sense of joy into your life.
In this article, you’ll learn about twelve sacral chakra stones you can use daily to balance your body’s energy flow. And be sure to read until the end, as I’ve included a simple meditation to cleanse your second chakra.

What Is The Sacral Chakra Responsible For?
The sacral chakra (Svadhisthana) is your body’s center for pleasure, playfulness, and creative expression. It governs our ability to express our ideas out into the world, connect to our senses, and manage our emotions. It is the second of the seven main chakras, aligned down the body’s centerline. It sits below the belly button and a few inches back, above the root chakra.
Ancient theories suggest chakras serve as a guiding force, helping us work with our bodies’ subtle energy. Science has yet to prove if chakras do or don’t exist, but people who have experienced positive benefits from chakra healing don’t need scientific evidence to support their beliefs.
Signs Of A Blocked Sacral Chakra
If you suspect an imbalance in your second chakra, you may experience some or many of these symptoms. However, note that the symptoms of an overactive sacral chakra and an underactive sacral chakra differ, as described below.
Signs of an overactive sacral chakra:

Wearing a delicate orange calcite bracelet on your wrist will awaken creative energy in your body. Bringing your skin into contact with this stone will help you feel optimistic about your creative undertakings. It also quickly clears congested energy in your environment.
Citrine
Citrine is like carrying sunshine in your pocket and reminds you that joy and light exist all around you. With this much positive energy, this crystal never needs to be cleaned. It absorbs negative energy and sends it back into the Earth to dissipate. This is helpful for the sacral chakra since it sits right above the root chakra and aids in grounding.
If you are working on a creative endeavor, use citrine to inspire joy and playfulness. It’ll bring in a warm energy to attract fresh ideas and success. This stone’s vibrations will decrease sensitivity, so you can freely create without fear of criticism.
Citrine will help you go with the flow instead of being stuck in the past if old difficulties are congesting your sacral chakra. Wear a citrine ring on your finger or a necklace with the point down for an energy boost. The point guides higher spiritual healing energy into your physical body.
If menstrual cramps or PMS throw you off every month, try this glass water bottle. Citrine-infused water can direct soothing energy into your system.

Wearing amber for long periods can encourage a deep sense of grounding, so you trust in your own wisdom. A bracelet on your wrist is a comfortable way to have amber on your skin for long periods of time and promote healing.
This stone imbues the wisdom of the Earth into your energy centers to neutralize depressive thoughts and tendencies. With negativity cleared and a patient mindset, amber fills your mind with peace.
Sunstone
The solar plexus and sacral chakra stone, known as sunstone, brings radiant energy and allows your authentic self to shine. Meditating while holding a sunstone will help you feel connected to the light and bring in the nurturing powers of the Sun. It brings a sense of sweetness to your life that may be missing and counteracts dark moods.
While sunstone can cleanse all the chakras, use it to cleanse the sacral chakra of physical and emotional connections to your past. Sunstone can help cut the strings to move forward and extinguish codependency.
Sit in the Sun and wear a sunstone necklace with a long chain to accentuate its healing properties. When you use sunstone to clear your sacral chakra, you’ll find it clears your mind. An unclouded mindset will bring increased confidence and self-worth.

Golden healer quartz, also known as tangerine quartz, encourages growth and acceptance. If you have experienced trauma, these are excellent stones to help you heal. You’ll find a way to see your inner emotions and issues with an open mind and without putting yourself down.
It’s possible to carry trauma from past lives. These orange stones will help you see that past issues may have important lessons. But these crystals will help you let go of whatever does not serve your highest good in this life.
Golden healer and tangerine quartz will help lift your vibration and let go of the past. You’ll awaken a youthful energy that inspires your creativity and passion.
Aragonite Star Clusters
Aragonite star clusters have the greatest grounding effect out of all the sacral chakra stones. This connection to the Earth Goddess’s compassionate energy will recharge and align your entire system.
When you feel rooted to the Earth, you release excess energy trapped within. If this imbalance is causing you to feel restless at night, place a small aragonite star cluster under your pillow to ease agitation.
Your sacral chakra benefits from the stability and inner peace this crystal plants within you. Aragonite star clusters connect and align your lower chakras to Earth’s healing energy. Moving forward, you’ll be able to spread compassion to others.
How To Meditate With Sacral Chakra Crystals
Before you begin, choose one or two sacral chakra stones to enhance your meditation. Here are some suggestions:
- Hold a citrine sphere in your hand and focus on the smooth shape
- Hold a sunstone if you are meditating in the sunshine to bring in light energy
- Place carnelian around you to stop your mind from wandering
- Lay down and place a fire agate on your lower belly to aid relaxation and help you feel calm
- Use aragonite star clusters to raise your vibrations and bring high spiritual energy into the body during meditation
Find a quiet spot to sit or lay comfortably. Lengthen and align your spine, and with your crystals in place, close your eyes. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Repeat this three times.
Bring your awareness to the area two inches below your belly button and a few inches back, towards your spine and your sacral chakra. Envision orange rays of light moving in, out, and around your sacral chakra. Imagine the light wiping away and releasing energetic blockages and negative energy from the area.
Visualize this orange wheel of energy as you chant the sacral chakra mantra “Vam” as many times as it intuitively feels good.
Stay in the meditation as long as you wish. When you are ready to come back to the present, wiggle your fingers and toes, take a slow, deep breath, and slowly exhale. Slowly open your eyes.
