No matter which crystal you prefer for meditation practice – be it tranquil selenite, citrine or grounding energy from smoky quartz and black tourmaline – crystals can provide powerful allies for setting intentions and increasing focus during sessions. But first it is crucial that your intentions are clear.

How to select the ideal crystal for meditation: Listen to your intuition!

Choosing the right space

Setting up the appropriate environment for meditation with crystals is of vital importance for success. An ideal space should be quiet, free from distractions, with comfortable temperature and lighting levels as well as free from negative energies such as dust mites. Furthermore, setting clear intentions can help achieve your goals more quickly.

Crystals can also help balance out your chakras, which are energetic centers in the body. Each chakra has its own distinct energy source; and there are crystals available to suit each one.

Giantina advises choosing crystals that support your meditation goals. Amethyst can bring peace and intuition, while black tourmaline offers protection. Raw selenite has an ethereal glow that draws us deeper into nature’s energy; and raw hematite provides anchorage during spiritual explorations while simultaneously aiding against depression, addictions, or loneliness.

Intention

Crystals offer an effective way to connect with their energies and enter a deeper state of meditation. Choose any crystal that resonates with you during meditation sessions or use them throughout your day to focus on setting intentions or accomplishing tasks.

Prior to beginning meditation with crystals, set an intention. This could range from relieving stress or finding clarity; whatever it is, your intention can help guide their energy towards your desired endpoint.

Once your intention has been set, visualize transferring it into the crystal. Hold or place your crystal near you during meditation sessions to tap its energy whenever needed – this will help ensure you remain focused on achieving success with your goals and stay on the right path to achieving them.

Cleansing the crystals

Crystals absorb energy, but it’s essential that they be cleansed regularly in order to clear away the negative energy they may have absorbed over time, which could cause them to become dull or less effective. You can use various techniques for cleansing crystals.

One of the easiest and simplest ways to cleanse a crystal is to place it under sunlight or moonlight for several minutes each day or every month during its full moon phase. When using sunlight as a cleansing agent, take note that for best results place your crystal in direct sunlight on either a windowsill or outdoors during a sunny day with full moon. For best results use during periods when its intensity matches that of full moon light.

Alternative health practitioners believe that saltwater helps draw out any excess energy, leaving your crystal looking refreshed and renewed.

Sound cleansing can also be an effective method of purifying crystals. Use singing bowls, tuning forks, bells or simply chanting to produce vibrational frequencies and cleanse your crystals using this approach.

Using the crystals

Selecting the optimal crystal to use during meditation depends on what result you’re seeking. Amethyst can aid spiritual wellbeing while citrine can help attract abundance while clearing away negativity. There are other varieties with unique properties which may aid you during your practice of meditation.

Before beginning meditation, hold your chosen crystal in your hands and set an intention. Imagine it being absorbed by the stone as part of its energy – this will serve as an effective foundation for your session of meditating.

Once your meditation session is over, take several deep breaths to bring yourself back down into the physical world before slowly opening your eyes and thanking the crystal for its assistance. Be sure to cleanse and charge it regularly so it continues to provide maximum support in meditations – this way it’ll always be available when needed! Carry it around during your daily life so it stays connected energetically. This way you have someone there when you meditate!
