WHAT IS A HEALING CRYSTAL?
Crystals harness energy of the Sun, the Moon, and the oceans, and connect us to Earth’s energy as soon as we come into contact with them.
If you can open your heart and mind to the power of crystal healing, you will find that they contain powerful healing elements as well as energy benefits such as mental clarity, grounding, anxiety relief, and boosting energy.
As a beginner’s guide, I will focus on the 5 crystals that are best to start out your crystal journey.
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz crystal is a must for beginners as it helps to set your intention. This stone also helps to magnify the stones that you place it near or use. This stone also helps counteract negative energy.
When holding this stone, you should feel positive, clean energy. Think of your intention, or what you are trying to overcome or harness, and let the energy of this stone aid you in obtaining that. Quartz can also be used when meditating.
Amethyst
Amethyst is among one of the most utilized crystals. It is known for healing, anxiety relief, dispels negative energies, it is a mood stabilizer, awakens spiritual energy, and it helps alleviate sadness or inner pain.
Place this stone around the house to re-energize your spaces, and to feel the energy of the stone as you go from room to room. When needed for healing, or mental regeneration, simply hold the stone and contemplate on what you are feeling.
Keeping this stone near you daily helps to maintain a sense of calm.
Shungite
“One of the rarest stones on Earth, shungite contains antioxidants, which gives it potent healing properties, including protection from hazardous energies that are harmful to the body. Shungite is often used to soothe anxiety and speed up the detoxification process. This healing stone has powerful effects on the body, so it’s best to introduce it slowly.
Place a piece of Shungite next to your computer, wi-fi hub or any other electronics in your home. We also recommend placing a piece of Shungite on your cell phone, to diminish the effects from EMFs.” (Excerpt taken from Energy Muse)
Citrine
Place Citrine in the sun daily to restore and regenerate it’s energy. Citrine helps to clear away negativity, and enables clear thinking and motivation. This is why it is often used to bring or manifest money.
Citrine gives energy and invigoration to the physical body. It is useful to people who are sensitive to environmental and other outside influences, and is a powerful aid for the digestive system and can aid in treating Thyroid problems as well.
Obsidian
Obsidian is one of the most powerful crystals for a beginner. Made from hardened lava and polished, it creates a smooth silky crystal.
Black obsidian is a true gem when it comes to dispelling negativity, and seeking to see what is truly ailing you or holding you back. Worn daily, it provides protection from negative outside forces and energies, and creates a powerful sense of calm through intense situations.
I have my crystals now what?
Take the time to get your crystals, how they feel in your hands, what the energy does to your body, how you feel mentally or emotionally when you are around them, and what it feels like after letting them go. Once you learn what energy they provide you, you can start to use them during meditation.
