How To Use Crystals: A Practical Guide
Let’s talk about how to use crystals…
Picture it, you visit a beautifully curated metaphysical shop, a gorgeous shiny crystal tower seems to almost call out to you. You pick it up and fall instantly in love. You buy this special piece of rock and take it home; now what? What do you do once you actually get your grubby mitts on a crystal? The answer is PLENTY! There are plenty of things to do with your new (or even not so new) crystal, so lets go over a few!
Meditation
If you’re already a seasoned meditator (is that even a word) adding a crystal can take your practice up a notch. If you’re not meditating, what the hell are you waiting for?! Chose a crystal that is in sync with your intentions, or an intention that’s in sync with your crystal – it’s a real chicken or the egg situation, or just a crystal that calls to you, there really are no rules!
Beauty Sleep
Tired of counting sheep? Try crystals! Pop some amethyst under your pillow or an angelite tower on your nightstand. Crystals can have a calming effect on your physical body and your personal space, why not add some to your bedtime routine?
Ease Anxiety
When the world feels like it’s spinning too fast, look to the crystals. Smoky quartz is universally beloved for its calming and grounding properties, and I personally reach for orca agate if I know I’m going to have a stressy day. And obviously if you’re on any sort of medicine or doctor recommended protocol don’t stop it, slap a piece of quartz on your forehead and call it a day…take your meds AND THEN slap some quartz on your forehead.
Chakra Healing
Did you know our chakras have certain corresponding crystals that work beautifully with them? Well they do! The human body has seven chakras, and each chakra has a crystal or two (or four) that pairs beautifully with them! If you’re feeling “off” in a certain area (think numbness, heaviness), grab a crystal and get to work! By work I mean meditating, wearing the crystal near the blocked area, sleeping with the crystal, whatever you’re vibing with.
Protect Your Energy
Protect ya neck…and your energy because our energy is priceless. Black tourmaline is the universal go-to for energy protection. It’s believed to create an energetic “shield” around those who wear it, so its perfect to add to your collection if you’re surrounded by Negative Nancies, Debbie Downers, and Energy Vampires.
Crystal Grids
Admittedly, I’m a bit of a crystal grid newbie and I’m still learning, but wow; powerful. Crystal grids can take your manifestation game up a few notches by pairing your favorite crystals with sacred geometry. Yes I said geometry, all this and brains too. I recently grabbed this book, and it’s really helped me wrap my brain around crystal grids.
These are just a few of the many, MANY ways you can use crystals in your everyday life. But remember, the best way to use them is the way that works best for YOU. Keep playing around with your crystals and I promise, you will find your metaphysical sweet spot…that sounds kinds filthy but I like it.
