How to Use Crystals
Healing crystals are magical things, echoing the ancient tales of our planet and the civilizations that once roamed it. Just as each person has a distinct identity, so do these crystals; no two are identical.
If you’re wondering how to use crystals, the answer is that the best way to use them varies from person to person, depending on personal preferences and needs. While wearing or carrying crystals is the most straightforward use, there are numerous ways to integrate them into your daily routine, as outlined below.
AFFIRMATIONS
Say an affirmation that matches the healing properties of your crystal. For example, an affirmation for a protection crystal like black tourmaline would be “I am in charge of my own energy.”
MANIFESTATION
Hold your crystal in your hand and close your eyes. Then, repeat the intention you’d like to manifest several times in your mind. When it feels right, open your eyes. Now, it’s believed that the crystal has been “charged” with your intention.
MEDITATION
Place a crystal in the palm (or palms) of your hand, lap, or nearby, and focus your energy on it during your meditation session. The type and shape of the crystal can have an impact on the emotional benefits you experience.
JOURNALING
Using a crystal that boosts communication while journaling may help reveal hidden thoughts and ideas you didn’t know were there.
YOGA
A crystal on the end of your yoga mat makes a perfect focal point to gaze upon and can help remind you of the intentions set for the session.
SLEEP
Certain crystals, especially those known for relaxation or protection, are great to have around during sleep. You can put them under your pillow or on your nightstand to benefit from their healing powers.
BATHTIME
Enhance a relaxing bath routine by adding (water-safe only!) crystals into the tub with you, or place them on the ledge.
CAREER
Crystals that boost motivation or attract luck can be a great addition to your workspace. Keep them on your desk to tap into their energy as you work towards success in your career.
HOME
Placing crystals in busy areas of your home is an effortless way to benefit from their healing properties without actively working with them. We find this approach particularly effective for calming, protective, and happiness crystals.
