New to using crystals? Here are a few simple ways you can incorporate crystals into your daily life to bring about energetic balance, healing, and an overall sense of well-being. Crystals have long been used for their healing properties, and they can be a powerful tool for energy healing.
There are several ways to incorporate crystals into your routine or home:
One popular method is to place crystals directly on the body or carry them with you throughout the day. This allows the crystal's energy to directly interact with your own energy field. For example, if you are experiencing headaches or migraines, you might place a crystal that has calming or pain-alleviating properties on your forehead or temples. If you are feeling stressed, you might carry a peaceful energy crystal in your pocket or wear it on a necklace.
Meditating with crystals is another effective way to harness their energy for healing purposes. You can hold a crystal that aligns with your intentions in your hand or place it in front of you while you meditate. This allows you to connect with the crystal's vibrations and channel its energy into your meditation practice. This in conjunction with healing sound frequencies can be a really powerful combination.
Keeping crystals in your room or living space can also have a positive impact on your energy levels. You can place crystals that align with your intentions near your bed to promote restful sleep, over doorways to protect the energy of your space, and so on to help keep your home safe and peaceful feeling.
How to Choose Crystals
For many people, they may intuitively choose a crystal either being drawn to it energetically or based on its appearance. Black crystals, such as obsidian or tourmaline, are often used to protect your energy and shield a person from negative energy. Clear crystals, such as quartz and selenite, can help neutralize, cleanse, and charge energy, including other crystals. Colorful crystals often align energetically with the same color energy sources in the body, which makes for a quick method to remember what different crystals can help with. For example, red and orange carnelian helps with energy in the body connected to the root and sacral energy sources.
