Meditation can be an effective tool for quieting the mind and connecting to spirituality, but adding crystals to your practice can enhance its soothing qualities and increase its benefits.

Place a crystal in your hand or, for something more organic, on one of the seven chakras on your body (referring to chart below) and use intuition to connect with its energy.

Celestite

Celestite is a light blue crystal which symbolizes peace, tranquility, spiritual awareness and communication. According to many accounts it also helps activate and balance the third eye chakra while increasing intuition – making it a fantastic gem for meditation or energy healing purposes.

Celestine is associated with people of the Gemini zodiac sign as it may help calm emotions and improve intuitive abilities. However, Celestine can benefit people of all zodiac signs.

Celestite may help facilitate astral travel, lucid dreaming and other psychic abilities. Pairing celestine with moonstone may enhance these powers further or it can be used alone to regulate circadian rhythm and boost sleep quality. Celestine also works well at relieving stress and anxiety – try placing some celestine by your bedside or under your pillow when ready to relax and fall asleep quickly.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine embodies both joy and peace. Once believed to protect sailors, heal sickness, purify water, encourage clear communication, foster trust between people, help overcome fears or doubts that impede success; these qualities make Aquamarine one of the most revered gemstones available today.

Aquamarine stone is linked with the Throat Chakra, which controls communication and self-expression. If this chakra becomes out of balance, a person may struggle with their expression or feel misunderstood by others; using an Aquamarine stone as part of your practice to balance this chakra can increase one’s ability to form meaningful friendships or even life partners.

Hold an Aquamarine crystal during meditation and let its soothing blue energy wash over you. Visualize its positive vibrations replacing any negative emotions with love and peace.

Selenite

Selenite is an ethereal crystal with a powerful emotional energy, inspiring emotional lightness and mental clarity. Additionally, this crystal is thought to aid spiritual healing, opening up the crown chakra and encouraging greater intuition and higher selves connection.

Water is also an effective tool for dissipating negative energies in your environment, helping dissolve energy blockages. Therefore, water can make for an excellent companion during meditation as it promotes peace and calm while aiding deeper connections to inner guidance and your higher self.

Crystal healer Samantha Jayne states that selenite, commonly referred to as “liquid light,” can bring joy and ease into your life by shifting old, heavy energies away. However, crystal healing should never replace medical advice and you should consult your physician as necessary for optimal wellbeing.

Quartz

Quartz is an intoxicating crystal that can be used for various forms of meditation. Its crystalline structure amplifies energy and intentions, helping improve focus during sessions. Quartz also activates upper chakras which is particularly useful when connecting with spirit guides or tapping into one’s intuition.

When it comes to selecting a stone for meditation, trust your instinct. Select one that feels right to you, knowing it will have a positive effect on your practice. Once selected, place the stone before you and close your eyes; focus on setting an intention while visualizing transferring its energy into the crystal’s vibrations – helping it support and elevate your practice.
