If you have been playing REPO, chances are you may have come across Energy Crystals in the shop. While these items can be used to reenergize weapons and vehicles, many players use them for meditation and energy healing purposes instead.
Some stones are said to help boost energy and creativity; others help alleviate anxiety or stress. Although some medical professionals remain wary of alternative medicine practices such as crystal therapy, others advocate it as an effective means of relieving stress and improving wellbeing.
They can help you recharge
Crystals are natural absorbers of energy and transmitters of vibrations. Over time, with handling and exposure to different environments, crystals may become saturated with physical and residual energies that cloud their transmission channels. Adopting a regular cleansing ritual will ensure your crystals continue to serve their intended purpose of transmitting vital lifeforce energy and vibrations.
Water is often the go-to way to purify crystals. Use running water from streams or rivers, lakes or any other source as a natural cleanser that will wash away negative energies and reenergize it. Or alternatively you could try burying it under soil – tapping into Mother Earth’s grounding energy while aligning its vibrations and connecting your crystal with Mother Nature’s natural vibrations.
Utilizing your intuition and tapping into the energy of your crystals’ is the most effective way to determine how often to cleanse and recharge them, but be wary not to overdo it; if a crystal feels clean and vibrant already, additional cleansing may not be required.
They can help you meditate
Meditation can be one of the best ways to unwind and stay grounded, and including crystals in your practice can help quiet any straying thoughts or promote deeper connections to spirit. While energy healers and yogis commonly incorporate them into spiritual practices, you too can incorporate crystals into everyday life for their soothing vibes.
As with any part of life, when it comes to picking out crystals for meditation rituals, trust your intuition. Choose crystals that align with your intentions – such as Clear Quartz for amplifying energy and intentions or Selenite for purifying low-energy vibrations – while other popular options may include Amethyst which promotes relaxation and intuition or Rose Quartz which promotes love and healing.
Crystals may help in various ways; you could place it directly on your body or use them in combination with visualisation or affirmations techniques for an enhanced experience. Either way, remember that crystals should never replace professional medical advice.
They can help you relax
Crystals can help to alleviate stress and anxiety. While you may or may not believe in their metaphysical properties, many find comfort and peace when using crystals to calm their nerves.
Fluorite crystals can help clear mental clutter. Rose Quartz and Lepidolite stones have also proven helpful as gentle calming stones. If you find yourself overwhelmed, try holding onto one of these calming stones or keeping one nearby during meditation and mindfulness practice.
Before using crystals to help your emotional health, be sure to consult with a mental health professional first. Most mental health and medical practitioners consider crystal healing an unproven pseudoscientific practice; studies show that adding meditation and other relaxation practices into your routine is an effective way to reduce stress levels.
They can help you focus
Crystals serve as an ally in your productivity, exuding positivity and manifestation, in tune with your natural drive to complete tasks. They can even serve to amp up energy when things get tough, helping keep going even when times get hard.
Certain crystals, like sodalite, have long been recognized to enhance logical thinking and concentration. By clearing away distractions and cultivating productive thinking styles, they make them ideal for study sessions, work projects or important decision making sessions.
Fluorite and Tiger’s Eye Crystals can be used to sharpen focus, block distracting thoughts, enhance memory and learning, as well as maintain organisation and task completion. People have reported keeping these stones on their desk or bag to stay focused and on task; citrine has even proven invaluable when it comes to brainstorming sessions; its lightbulb moments far outshone any others before! However, to truly reap their benefits it requires an open mind and intention; use crystals every morning when setting intentions or hold one in meditation to feel their effects!
