How to use crystal energy for everyday spiritual work

Crystals are great tools to enhance all of your spiritual practices. From intending to creating to protecting, crystal energy is a great partner in many spiritual activities.

Crystal energy for protection

Some crystals are naturally charged with excellent protective qualities. This is helpful when you are in situations that are charged with negative energy, when you work stressful jobs, or when you are visiting places that are charged with residual energy from traumatic or stressful events. Black tourmaline and smokey quartz are specially effective crystals to protect your energy. You can either wear the crystals on a pendant or mala bracelet or you can place the crystal in a central part of a room.

Crystal energy for meditation

I like to use pink quartz, amethyst or selenite for meditations. Pink quartz is great at calming your energy. If you are having a stressful day and you want to calm your energy, meditation is a great way to reset yourself. The energy of amethyst is different, it can help you go higher on your meditations and it can assist in bringing you higher guidance as you meditate. Selenite is a high vibrating crystal. If you wear a selenite pendant or hold selenite on your hands during your meditations, this can help you go higher and deeper.

Intending over your crystals

When you work with crystals you are engaging the essence and natural properties of the crystal. It is important to consciously intend over the crystal, when you do this the crystal’s energy links to yours and works with you in a very positive way. Just as with any God given gift, it is important to express your gratitude for the opportunity work with one of Mother Nature’s helpers. To take care of your crystals, you can sage them periodically, you can also cover them with salt and place them under the sun for a few hours for purification.
