working with crystals

Over the years working with crystals has become a lot more common, with people having an open mind to work with them and their benefits. Crystals are a powerful tool to work with but should not be taken for granted or misused as they are gifted to us from Mother Gaia and have thousands of years’ worth of Earth’s history, minerals and other benefits.
There are various types of crystals you can work with depending on your specific goal for example for self-love or bringing love in you would work with Rose Quartz as it is known as the love stone and healing properties are on the vibration of love.
We have a few ideas for you on how you can incorporate crystals into your life, the first one is very simple you can simply carry them without you through your day. This could be in your bag, pocket, bra and even as a pendant/piece of jewellery. If you have dedicated your crystals and assigned a “job” to them which they do love then you have that intention to support you throughout your day.
During mediation you can hold a crystal with both or one hand as you relax and focus on your breathe. You may feel a sense of relief, comfort, relaxation or nothing at all which is perfectly fine.
If you have an alter or a quiet place where you like to madidate, do your moon rituals or simply a space just for you then adding crystals adds a grounding energy to the space which is nice and comforting especially during a mediation.
When working with your Chakras or a specific Chakra you can place crystals on the body or that particular place that you feel needs extra support and this well help with your mediation. You do this by picking a crystal that is co-related to the Chakra for example if you feel your Solar Plexus is out of balance you would lay down and place a citrine crystal to the area as that is a known crystal to support the Solar Plexus. However, if you feel called to use a different crystal then that is perfectly okay as well as you want to follow your intuition. You could also use Smokey quartz at your feet for grounding and amethyst or clear quartz at the top of your head to work with the Crown Chakra.
Some more fun ways to use crystals is to bring them to your yoga class to bring a sense of calmness to your personal space. If you attend sound baths, gong baths you can bring your crystals along to help cleanse them and support you during your practice and again place them on your body or simply on the mat to allow the vibrations to work with them and create your own personal space.
To sum up, you can invite crystals into your life to help support you and your life style and knowing that can bring extra comfort on days when we feel like we need some extra support. Remember crystals are living beings and treating them with respect is so important and also ensuring you speak to the people who you are purchasing them as you want to ensure they are ethically sourced. Now is very different for individuals but having this conversation is so important.
Have fun bringing crystals into your life, practice gratitude to them and thanking them for their help and they will enjoy being of service to you.
Love and gratitude,
