Meditation can be an incredibly effective tool to increase both mood and energy levels. Meditation has the ability to combat stress and anxiety while improving focus and increasing self-awareness.
Crystals can be utilized during meditation in various ways, from simply holding them in your hands to placing them at various chakra points around your body.
1. Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is one of the best crystals to use during meditation, thanks to its pure energy that enhances intuition and removes any negative energy from your body. Furthermore, Clear Quartz acts as an amplifier of intentions when manifesting and is often known as the “master healer.”
Clear Quartz crystals can be especially helpful to those experiencing mental fatigue, as they can be used to balance chakras to foster positive thinking and harmonize the energy in an otherwise chaotic or negative space. Furthermore, this crystal can stimulate bright feelings while strengthening immunity systems. Lastly, Clear Quartz can also be cleansed using sound therapy such as singing bowls or tuning forks as well as by passing it through smoke (such as Palo Santo) which help remove any energy lingering on its surface.
2. Labradorite
Labradorite is an excellent stone for strengthening psychic abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance and intuition. Additionally, it’s said to balance mind and emotions by relieving depression, fear and anxiety; also helping one see light hidden behind shadows while encouraging adopting more positive worldviews.
Laboratoryradorite’s unique flashes of color, or “labradorescence,” makes this crystal mystical in appearance and often associated with dreams and visions. Labradorite is said to enhance family and romantic relationships by building trust, respect and commitment between partners.
Meditation combined with crystals can open up new vistas of self-care and personal development for regular meditators. Experiment with programming your crystal using various methods – moonlight, sound or sacred geometry may work best – until you find what resonates most deeply for you.
3. Obsidian
Obsidian is a stone of truth, helping us face up to our darker sides and dissolve any barriers standing in the way of living our best lives. It makes an excellent stone to use during meditation to release negative energies and move toward our higher selves.
Obsidian crystal variations offer numerous healing properties and are each different in their own special ways, from protective qualities in black obsidian to the soothing energy of snowflake obsidian or the illumination of Apache Tears – each variety presents something new for crystal enthusiasts and meditators.
Opsidian can make an ideal addition to any meditative collection when combined with Lapis Lazuli, which sharpens the mind and promotes introspection, or Onyx, which opens the third eye chakra and stimulates third eye chakra stimulation. Furthermore, Sagittarius zodiac sign is connected with obsidian as a birthstone – making this stone even more suitable as part of any meditation practice.
4. Aventurine
Aventurine is an amazing stone that can bring luck and abundance in multiple ways. It helps balance emotions, boost optimism, and boost creativity while simultaneously helping you tap into inner courage and strength. Aventurine also encourages leadership but doesn’t do so without simultaneously encouraging compassion among its adherents.
Add aventurine to your meditation practice to activate the heart chakra and increase self-awareness of feelings and thoughts. It has long been used to ease nausea, depression or grief symptoms as well as electromagnetic pollution issues – so keep one near computers or electronic devices, including computers or phones; some believe that keeping aventurine can even improve eyesight!
5. Tiger’s Eye
This stone has long been recognized for its ability to help increase feelings of courage, as it promotes strong self-confidence and resilience. Furthermore, it promotes a powerful sense of purpose and drive that provides energy and motivation.
Yoga can be an especially helpful practice to utilize when dealing with issues of power, fear, and confidence – as its use here can help maintain equilibrium even during times of chaos or uncertainty.
Additionally, this healing crystal is said to aid in strengthening relationships–both with yourself and with others. Additionally, it may assist with breaking free of restrictive beliefs around money and finances as well as any toxic energies present in those areas, helping overcome any limiting beliefs around finances and manifest your dreams more easily. As with any crystal, Askinosie advises regular cleaning and charging using your preferred method.
