5 Ways to Use Crystals
Crystals are the shit, period. They can be used for meditation, chakra healing, energy protection, restful sleep, and to ease anxiety. Here are 5 ways to use crystals and which crystal to use for each method.
What are crystals?
Crystals are rock formations that not only carry beauty but also an extraordinary amount of energy which is powerful enough to heal your mind, body, and soul. Crystal energy is the power that crystals naturally emit that you can use to heal yourself with.
First and foremost, always remember that working with crystals doesn’t mean just holding them or keeping them around – you have to work with their energy. Before doing any crystal work, ground yourself so that you’re able to stay calm and focused (click here to learn more about ‘grounding’). Hold your crystal or place it on the corresponding chakra (click here to learn more about chakras); focus on the energy the crystal promotes and embody that energy. The goal of all crystal work is to get on the same energy vibration as the crystal you are working with and allow its energy to flow into you!

Crystals for Meditation
Crystals amplify your focus for deeper meditation. Choose a crystal that is significant to what you are meditating on. During meditation, hold the crystal(s) in your hand, place it on your body or place it nearby. Envision a white light of healing energy coming from the crystal and outlining your entire body. Breathe in its energy and allow it to go deep within you for a more intense meditation session.
