Crystals can help to both quiet the mind and focus on an intention. Yogis, shamans, and energy healers often utilize crystals as part of meditation practice in order to heighten intuition and promote deeper states of meditative rest.

Begin by selecting a crystal that resonates with your intention. Visit a crystal shop and let the right stone pick you by catching your eye or feeling comfortable in your hand.

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz is an energy amplifier and an effective tool for manifesting intentions. It promotes spiritual development while clearing away blockages in your aura allowing a clearer connection with divine energy.

Stones of healing such as amethyst are also useful in breaking free of old conditioning and feelings of trauma, helping achieve emotional equilibrium and creating healthy relationships to oneself. Amethyst can also assist in moving past divorce or any form of relationship breakdown as well as bullying or any form of emotional trauma.

Place a clear crystal on your desk to increase focus and clarity throughout your day, or place a tumbled clear quartz point next to your bed to promote lucid dreaming while sleeping. Furthermore, this crystal can act as a cleanser for other crystals as well as yourself by running them under warm water to clear away any negative energy build-up that has formed within its vicinity.

Citrine

Citrine is an invaluable stone, often used to boost self-confidence and instil feelings of optimism. Citrine also eases addictions while encouraging positive energy for balance.

Citrine can help facilitate meditation by stimulating the solar plexus chakra, an energy center which fosters feelings of power and personal strength. According to studies, citrine may promote positive thinking while alleviating negative traits like depression, fears and phobias.

Adopting affirmations as part of your meditation ritual can bring additional clarity. Winquist suggests filling a clear glass jar with water, adding citrine stones, and setting an intention such as manifesting wealth or attaining greater focus in life.

Place the jar in your bedroom so it can be visible while sleeping, and rub citrine over your body to boost memory and reduce cellulite – often seen as an indicator of hormonal imbalance in women. Citrine is generally considered safe but its energies may differ depending on who uses it.

Amethyst

Amethyst is known for its spiritual properties and is said to open the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, allowing us to access our intuition and spiritual growth more readily. Additionally, amethyst promotes purification and detoxification processes in the physical body by flushing away harmful toxins.

Meditation may help alleviate tensions that lead to anxiety and foster feelings of peace and contentment, as well as serve as a useful way of breaking free of addictions while encouraging healthy lifestyle changes.

Hold an Amethyst in your hand and allow its soothing purple ray to fill you with its vibration. Visualize a purple sphere descending from your crown through each chakra center (third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, navel and base). Allow this vibrant yet soothing hue to help relax both your body and mind as thoughts dissolve away into relaxation and peace. Take deep breaths to fully embrace Amethyst’s soothing vibrations.

Celestite

Celestite’s pale blue hue recalls the celestial sky, symbolizing peace and spiritual awareness. This gem can facilitate communication with guardian angels and spirit guides while opening you up to divine guidance during meditation or energy healing sessions.

Celestite crystal’s soothing energy promotes emotional healing by helping release anger, fear and anxiety. Additionally, celestite may assist you in finding your authentic voice by stimulating the throat chakra; further enabling self-expression and sharing deeper wisdom with others. Furthermore, celestite is said to facilitate astral travel by helping reach predetermined destinations more easily.

Crystals like amethyst are ideal for individuals who practice multiple religions or spiritual paths, as their energy is considered neutral and nonjudgmental. Although associated with Gemini zodiac sign, its beautiful energy resonates with individuals from across all zodiac signs.
