Are you new to working with crystals? Perfect. You’ve found the right place. This post will share the many spiritual and healing benefits of working with crystals.

WHY CRYSTALS?

As an interior designer and feng shui expert, crystals have played a big role in how I use crystals in my own home and in the home of my clients. I have personally witnessed the way crystals have changed the lives of the people who begin to work with them. In fact, I wrote an ebook all about my personal formula for how I use crystals in the home, you can read about that here.

Crystals are metaphysical tools that can elevate our healing, raise the vibration of our environment, assist us in meditation/mindfulness and help us manifest our dreams.

Fun Fact: Ancient Egyptians used crystals for healing and protection; sacred Indian texts explain specific healing properties of various crystals and how to use them to treat illnesses; Chinese medicine often includes the use of crystals; and ancient Greeks and Romans used crystals for protection in battle and in medical treatment, they’ve been a popular healing tool for a very, very long time.

Crystals are a gift from the Earth, they provide a connection to the spiritual plane while representing the unearthing of our very own hidden potential within.

Each crystal has a gorgeous, perfectly organized crystalline structure. To their core crystals represent the energy of dynamic excellence that we are looking to call into our lives, our world and our homes. Wouldn’t you love to bring in a more organized, high vibrational energy into your life?

Consider the structures of your life, your relationships, career, behaviors, home life, your habits, etc. Each of these has habits and individual underlying patterns. These patterns are established by your experiences, environment and life circumstances. When these patterns are disorganized, overwhelming or stagnant, your peace and happiness are compromised and can cause your life to come to a standstill.

But when your patterns become organized, elevated and balanced, your foundation becomes strong and your life effortlessly flows toward becoming all that you desire it to be and things start falling into place and feeling so good.

Crystals provide that power & structure for you. They aid you in getting your life together, organizing your intentions, pulling you out of a funk and helping you create a new fabulous flourishing high vibrational self.

The 6 benefits of working with crystal energy:

1.Energetic Alignment

Crystals are believed to resonate with different energies and vibrations that align with specific aspects of our lives. When used intentionally, crystals can help balance and align our own energy centers, also known as chakras. Each crystal corresponds to a particular chakra, aiding in the removal of blockages and the restoration of energy flow.

For instance, amethyst is often associated with the crown chakra, enhancing spiritual awareness and promoting a deeper connection to higher consciousness.

2. Enhancing Meditation and Mindfulness

Crystals can act as focal points during meditation and mindfulness practices. Holding or placing a crystal while meditating can help ground your energy, enhance your focus, and create a sense of tranquility. Crystals like clear quartz are often used for their amplifying properties, intensifying your intentions and aiding in achieving a more profound meditative state.

3. They Promote Positive Energy

Crystals are believed to emit positive energy and absorb negative energy from their surroundings. Placing crystals in your living space or carrying them with you can create a protective shield against negativity. Black tourmaline, for example, is considered a powerful energy cleanser, capable of transforming negative energy into positive vibrations.

4. Emotional Healing

Different crystals are thought to resonate with specific emotions, offering support for emotional healing and growth. Rose quartz, known as the "stone of love," is often used to promote self-love, compassion, and emotional balance. By working with these crystals, individuals can create a deeper connection with their emotions and find healing through self-reflection.

5. Strengthening Intuition

Crystals have long been associated with enhancing intuition and psychic abilities. Ametrine, a combination of amethyst and citrine, is said to stimulate spiritual insights and enhance psychic clarity. By using crystals to open the third eye chakra, individuals may experience heightened intuition and a stronger connection to their inner wisdom.

6. Facilitating Manifestation

Many people use crystals as tools to manifest their intentions and desires. By selecting crystals that align with your goals and aspirations, you can infuse them with your intentions and allow their energy to support your journey. Citrine, known as the "merchant's stone," is often used for manifesting abundance and prosperity.

I poured my heart and soul into a 72 page workbook with my complete guide to using crystals at home, using my knowledge of feng shui along with my interior design perspective. You can download the guide here.

Listen to this episode of my podcast, blissfully ambitious :

Whenever I work on an interior design project, crystals are always the finishing touch. I began using crystals as ways to bring in high vibe energy into the home. I studied all the Feng Shui tips, tricks and tools and began understanding how and why crystals were one of the most powerful.

For example, you can place a pyrite crystal (the stone for wealth & success) into the Money corner of the home as a Feng Shui magnet for money.

You can place Rose Quartz in the Love corner to activate and bring in love into your life.

Or you can place citrine in your kitchen to add in health, joy and optimism. Also, Blue Apatite helps to decrease your appetite if you are looking to lose weight. There are so many incredible ways crystals can enhance your world and assist you in getting your life together.

USE CRYSTALS IN YOUR DAILY RITUALS

In the book I outline several crystal rituals you can do to support your crystal healing journey. Make sure you do your crystal rituals to keep you aligned to elevate to your next level. Crystals don’t work just sitting by themselves on the shelf, they need you interacting with them, giving them intentions so they can work with you on building your dreams.

1. Build an altar: include candles, flowers, crystals, herbs, jewels, and any items you have that make you feel beautiful. Sit before your altar, repeat your confidence mantras, meditate and journal. I dive more into how to build a spiritual self care altar here.

One of my favorite altars from the Inner Beauty Bible by Laurey Simmons is pictured above.

2. Take a Cleopatra inspired bath: Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, was known for her seductive physical beauty, but she’s also celebrated for her mind. Her bath ritual includes milk, raw honey, essential oils like rose or lavender, and rose petals. Keep crystals next to your bath so you can daily call up your crystals to activate your cleansing and setting intentions.

3. Wear your crystals: You can use malas or bracelets during meditation. Energy enters and exits your body through your hands, have you ever heard of Mudras? Wear them to enhance your mindfulness practice. Set intentions at the New Moon and Full Moon to get the most out of wearing them.
