Chakra

Aligns all Chakras - Crown - Third Eye 

Herkimer Diamond is able to vibrate at all color frequencies stimulating all 7 chakras simultaneously while keeping them in alignment. However, it is most powerful on the Crown and Third Eye chakra. The Crown chakra aligns the other 6 chakras. The crown is our connection to the universe beyond our physical, it controls how we perceive and respond to the world around us. The Third Eye is the chakra of perception, intuition, and perspectives. It will connect a person to higher thinking, higher self, and to see things in a new light. 

Herkimer Diamond focuses on blocking negativity and enhancing positivity, while stimulating all the chakras. This gives the mind a more enlightened perspective and connects the physical, to the mental, to the ethereal realm of higher planes of existence and universal truths. When the chakras are in full balance, and the crown is in full connectivity we understand our place in the universe, with a knowing that even the dark times are essential parts of life.

Uses

Herkimer Diamonds are six sided, double terminated Quartz. Their double termination allows them to transmit their powerful energy, as well as take in energy, amplify energy, and direct it. Making it extremely powerful for energy healers, and practitioners to use. Herkimer Diamond will shine divine light on any situation and bring clarity with its high frequency resonance. 

It has powerful protective capabilities to clear out negative electromagnetic frequencies, and radiation from technologies. To use it for protection you can create a grid at home placing several throughout the house to make a protection vortex, or do the same around the bed to protect you from night terrors. You can also get an elixir or spray to spray around an area that you want to keep protected like a prayer room, meditation room, or before a healing ceremony. 

You can use it to amplify the energies of other crystals that you have. Pairing a Herkimer Diamond with even the smallest of crystals will amplify the energy of the crystal and make it feel like you are carrying one 30x the size. If using them in a meditative practice you can place the Herkimer in one hand, and the other crystal in the other to create a vortex around your aura magnifying the healing, and expanding your aura. Moldavite and Herkimer Diamond are one of the most powerful combinations known. 

In meditation, Herkimer Diamond can be used to balance out the body, silence the mind, and amplify all intentions and messages received. To meditate with Herkimer Diamond, place it on your third eye between your brows, set your intention, and go into a visualization meditation for manifestation, or a silent meditation to receive messages from your guides. Herkimer Diamond will amplify and program your thoughts, so be sure to think positive, and always cleanse the crystal of any negative programming. 

Disclaimer: Herkimer Diamond has a very powerful energy and could become overwhelming for people when worn for an extended period of time. It is not recommended to be worn by children or animals because they will not be aware of the energy shift.
