Meditation can help you unwind, balance your chakras, and connect with your intuition. Crystals can enhance this meditative experience and support healing intentions as you use crystals as healing aids during this practice.

Yogis, shamans and energy healers of various cultures use crystals as tools for meditation and intuition development. By learning to incorporate crystals into your own meditation routines you’ll experience their powerful presence first-hand.

Choose your crystals wisely

As you select crystals for meditation, keep in mind the desired outcomes; these could range from emotional healing and physical energisation, all the way through to spiritual expansion.

Visit a crystal shop if possible to browse their selection. When one particular crystal grabs your attention, hold it up in your hands and feel its energy – Gitana says it should resonate positively and provoke positive responses.

Amethyst is associated with the crown chakra to promote higher consciousness and intuition; rose quartz relieves stress and tension while opening your heart to love; citrine brings prosperity and joy into the home; you may also be drawn to clear or smoky quartz crystals due to their ability to cleanse and open chakras – this crystal can either be held in your left hand to absorb their powerful energy or be held by your expressive right hand to radiate its positive frequency.

Create a meditative environment

Gitana from Verywell Mind offers some advice for creating the ideal environment for meditation: how crystals can set the right ambiance:

Select crystals that resonate with your intent. Amethyst encourages deep intuition and connection to the universe, while labradorite fosters creativity and new ideas. Carnelian, known as “stone of motivation”, instils confidence by dispelling impurities from our energy field that prevent us from progressing forward.

Some people enjoy using crystals that correspond with chakras (energy centers) on the body, such as green aventurine for abundance and luck, or smoky quartz to balance emotions. Integrating crystals into their regular meditation practice can help strengthen connections with earth, intuition and others.

Incorporate crystals into your meditative practice

No matter your experience level in meditation, crystals can be an invaluable asset in amplifying the effects of your practice. But how exactly should they be used?

Through history, yogis, shamans and energy healers have used crystals to facilitate intuition and deepen spiritual connections. Crystals such as amethyst, rose quartz and smoky quartz resonate with chakras to bring about inner peace for mind, body and soul.

Crystals can be held either with your left hand to absorb their healing energies or your right hand for sending them outwards, much as the ancients believed they could. While their scientific validity has yet to be proven, many believe crystals may also alter our consciousness by emitting frequencies which we then absorb and download into our energetic field of vibration.

Keep a crystal journal

Crystal journals can help your meditation practice reach new heights, while at the same time being an invaluable way of manifesting your goals and manifesting intentions.

Amethyst crystal is an ideal choice for meditation due to its soothing properties and emotional healing benefits. Additionally, this crystal can help balance spiritual beliefs while relieving negative emotions like anger or jealousy from lingering in your system.

Quartz is another ideal crystal for meditation, believed to help increase concentration and clarity. You can choose a stone that matches your intention – rose quartz can foster love and compassion while smoky quartz clears away energy blockages. For added magic, consider purchasing a journal featuring crystal pens!

Ground yourself

No matter your experience level in meditation, crystals can add an additional level of calm and intuition to the practice. Yogis, shamans, and energy healers from various cultures have long utilized crystals as an aid for strengthening intuition and supporting meditation practices.

Opt for a crystal that resonates with both you and your intentions, such as amethyst’s soothing violet hue – often associated with peace and intuition – as a means of reducing stress, clearing away mental clutter, and healing emotional blocks.

If you want to feel grounded, try crystals such as smoky quartz and black tourmaline. These dark stones help ground yourself by stabilizing your energy and connecting you deeply with earth, while acting as protective shields from negative energies. They can even serve as meditation aids; simply hold one in your hand or place it under each foot during meditation sessions!
