Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine practice that uses semiprecious stones and crystals such as quartz, agate, amethyst, or opal.

See why crystals are important allies in maintaining our energy and learn how to use them in different environments. And if you have or have ever had doubts about how to use stones, these will be resolved once and for all.

The use of crystals today

Today, more people than ever before are open to using crystals. And for good reason! These gems are infused with thousands—sometimes millions—of years of Earth history, granting them healing energy that can help propel any conscious practice. But, as with any diet or exercise routine, a crystal practice that works for one person will not necessarily work for the next.

Fortunately, there are countless ways to work with these fantastic stones every day.

Here are some reasons to start using crystals in your day.

Stones and crystals are much loved: more and more people use them to provide themselves and their surroundings with a boost of energy or to give their intention a little extra strength.

With these tips, you can surround yourself with crystals’ positive energy and healing powers.

During Meditation

Gemstones and crystals make meditation even more powerful. Hold the crystal in one or two hands, close your eyes, and focus your attention on your breath. Some crystals can help you to better ground yourself during meditation, others give you energy and help you to be more loving to yourself.

Whether a stone works for you depends on who you are and what you need at that moment. So have a go with different types of crystals.

In your pocket or purse

The more you (physically) keep in contact with gemstones, your awareness of their energy will grow more and more. By carrying a crystal with you (e.g., in your pocket, purse, or wallet) you can use this energy every moment of the day. Gemstone jewelry is also a great option.

In your body

Placing crystals in certain places on your body can have a stronger effect than just holding one. When a chakra requires some attention, place the corresponding crystal at or near the chakra point to re(visit) all emotions and get your energy flowing freely.

During yoga

Place one or more gemstones on or near the yoga mat to surround yourself with positive, calming energy as you practice. Or place a crystal in your body, when you reach the end of your series, during Savasana. This will help you to focus even better on your inner world and relax more.

In a collection of crystals

A Crystal Grid is a collection of crystals that form a certain shape. You can use a pre-made shape, or you can place the stones based on your intuition. Setting up a grid is a very mindful activity and can help you strengthen your intentions.

Part of an Altar

A home altar helps make you feel at peace in your own home. When you use crystals on your home altar, you can add earth energy. Do you work with a certain intention? Write it down and place a gemstone on top.

As home decoration

They are beautiful to look at and also have a positive influence on the energy and atmosphere of the home. Choose a single large crystal as an eye-catcher, or join two different smaller stones together.

Self-care

Were you aware that you can make your face shine even more using crystals? For example, put a gemstone in the bathwater (make sure the crystal can hold water, you can google it) or make your gemstone facial care.

Safe ways to clean crystals

There are several ways to protect crystal identification. Some of the safest ways of cleaning crystals would include:

• Smoke (Stains) – Just hold your crystal over the smoke until you feel you’ve had enough. This is considered “basic” crystal care.
• Sound (Tibetan Bowls, Tuning Forks, Binary Sounds, Bells, Vocal Tuning) – This method is wonderful because it allows you to clean all your crystals at once. Just place them all in the environment where the crystals will be cleaned, and you can enjoy a healing sound bath with your crystals.
• Water (make sure you know which crystals can be placed in water) – Crystals that can be placed in water can be placed in a ceramic bowl or plastic container for between an hour and 24 hours. You can even pour ocean water over them and leave them by themselves.
• Intention – Believe it or not, our intentions are one of the strongest powers we have. This is because everything is energy and the energy of our thoughts is vibrations, just like crystals. Simply pretending to have your crystals clear can do the trick if your belief is strong enough.
