Humans have been fascinated with the beauty and powers of crystals for centuries. The stones are popular for holistic medicine and improving various aspects of one’s life. Here are some of the basic rules you can incorporate into your day-to-day.

Around the Home

Crystals can add a decorative touch and positively affect the energy of your home. Black tourmaline is ideal for cleansing any rooms. Add an energizing carnelian crystal to increase creativity and focus in the kitchen or hematite in a child’s room to create a calm atmosphere. You can place rose quartz at each corner of your bed to improve romance or fluorite in the living room for harmony.

In Public

You’re exposed to a lot of emotions and energies in public, so you may want to take healing crystals with you. Wear rose quartz on a necklace next to your heart to attract love energy. Tuck a piece of black tourmaline into your pocket to bring you strength. Black kyanite and pyrite can protect you from people who leech off your positive energy. Those who want to establish boundaries in a busy, crowded setting can wear a bracelet with malachite.

At the Office

If you spend a significant portion of your week at the office, use crystals there to relax or generate energy. You can create a crystal grid on your desk. Amethyst will help you remain calm under stress, while chrysoprase will help you build new work connections. Shungite provides the presence of nature in a tech-dominated office and is helpful to hold when you first arrive at the workplace.

In Practice

Crystals are popular in meditation, prayer, and personal practice. You can create an energy circle around yourself with clear quartz to capture good energy or hold a piece of selenite to help you remain focused and calm. Selenite may also help purge your body of impurities during a healing meditation. Add celestite to a meditation alter to transition to a peaceful state, or use lapis lazuli to become more aware of your inner self.
