No matter your belief system, crystals are an easy and cost-effective way to bring positivity into the home. Just make sure that you follow these tips for best results.

Experts generally consider hematite to be effective for memory and focus, while rose quartz seems to promote love (that makes sense). Clear quartz, however, is widely recognized as the master healer.

Grounding

Amethyst and rose quartz crystals are known to help balance emotions, reduce stress and promote self-love. Others, like smoky quartz and hematite are said to help detox from negative energies.

These stones are frequently associated with the heart chakra in yoga and Hinduism – known as Anahata in yoga – symbolizing love, compassion and mindfulness. If you find meditation difficult, using smoky quartz stones may help keep your focus intact while clearing away thoughts from your mind.

Even though these stones may only serve as placebos, it’s worth giving them a try to see if they help you feel more grounded or calm. Just remember they don’t replace medical treatments for mental health conditions like anxiety or depression – instead use them as part of your wellness routine to add another dimension. Keeping the number of your therapist or psychologist close at hand for expert guidance may also prove invaluable.

Energizing

Crystals are said to possess healing energy properties, helping us energize and balance our bodies, minds, and spirits. Their energetic properties may come from amplifying energy waves from us through vibrational resonance or by aligning with bio-energetic fields in a positive manner.

Based on the stone you choose, its energetic properties may differ. Rough or raw crystals like amethyst and rose quartz may help relieve tension while more energetic stones such as garnet may help unlock energy from within your spine that energises passion and courage.

Though there is no scientific proof that crystals have healing properties, many practitioners believe the stones provide a soothing effect by channeling energy away from sources that tend to distress us and towards ones’ soul. Bell suggests incorporating crystals into your spaces by placing them around your home for meditation purposes or cleansing spaces.

Purifying

Crystals are said to help cleanse the body of toxins and impurities, aiding immunity while providing natural pain relief. Furthermore, crystals may facilitate meditation practices as well as promote feelings of tranquility, positivity and focus.

Selenite crystal is said to carry its own healing properties, yet one of the most versatile and potency is Selenite. Selenite can purify and recharge other crystals while many use it as a foundation when designing crystal healing grids or layouts.

Used for spiritual purposes, crystals may become susceptible to unwanted energy; that is why people regularly cleanse their crystals in order to maintain their vibration and resonance. Many do this simply by leaving their crystals under Moonlight or Sunlight; others use sacred smokes such as Palo Santo (palo santo). Every crystal’s vibration and resonance could be affected differently when being cleansed; so it is vitally important that users find a method suitable for each stone when cleaning it.

Healing

Crystals are believed to interact with our body’s energy centers (known as chakras) to clear blockages and promote balance, thus relieving any tension that might have built up over time. Certain stones are thought to correspond with particular chakras; for instance amethyst can benefit the digestive tract while rose quartz opens the heart chakra up for love and healing.

A healing session involves placing crystals on various parts of the body, often in a grid pattern to produce an energy field around you. Your crystal healer may also use stones to cleanse and purify the space where they’re treating you in order to provide an ideal setting for therapeutic progress.

Scientific studies have not confirmed the benefits of alternative therapies like crystal healing; however, many who practice it report positive results — with many considering it an ideal complement to more traditional wellness practices like yoga and meditation. Just make sure that when working with trained professionals you always seek medical advice first before considering such practices as an alternative solution.
