Here's how to open each chakra:
  • Root Chakra (Muladhara): Meditate with red jasper, ruby, or garnet, and chant the sound "LAM." Repeat an affirmation like “The earth is a safe place for me” or “I love and trust my body.” Do the mountain pose in yoga.
  • Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthana): Meditate with carnelian, citrine, or orange sapphire and chant the sound "VAM." Repeat an affirmation such as “I am creative” or “I embrace change.” Do the knees-to-chest yoga pose.
  • Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Meditate with yellow jasper, citrine, or pyrite and chant the sound "RAM." Try affirmations like “I am open to new ideas” and “I am powerful.” Do spinal twists in yoga.
  • Heart Chakra (Anahata): Meditate with jade, malachite, or emerald and chant the sound "YAM." Use the affirmations “I am worthy of love” and “I am lovable.” In yoga, do the fan pose.
  • Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Meditate with turquoise, angelite, or aquamarine and chant the sound "HAM." Repeat the affirmations “My honesty attracts honesty” and “I communicate clearly.” Try neck stretches in yoga.
  • Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Meditate with sodalite, lapis lazuli, or sapphire and chant the sound "OM." Use the affirmations “I trust my intuition” and “I am one with the universe.” In yoga, practice the gaze (looking up toward your brows).
  • Crown Chakra (Sahastrara): Meditate with amethyst, clear quartz, or selenite and chant the sound "AUM." Use the affirmations “The world is my teacher” and “I honor the divine power within me.” Do the yoga pose downward dog.

According to ancient Yogic practices, chakra centers can be activated through meditating, chanting mantras, doing specialized breathing exercises, using certain ayurvedic herbs, and doing physical exercises like yoga asana.

School stresses me out SO much! Why??
Is school designed to be stressful? I feel like me and my friends are always stressing about the next test or assignment. We spend all day at school and then have to go home and do homework for hours on top of extracurriculars and chores. Some of us even have to juggle a job too. How are we supposed to do well in school and take care of ourselves and have a social life? Is there anything I can do to make school less stressful?
