While the idea of crystals at first glance may conjure up visions of flower-powered hippies and tales of witchy magic, crystals have actually been used in various ancient civilizations and modern cultures still to this day.
When following the idea that the entire solar system is composed of different energies, our thoughts and emotions are also connected and correspond to energies within our physical body. Energy patterns rely on balance, which are simultaneously reflected in our state of health; when our energy is out of balance it can cause headaches, illness and various diseases. However, when our energies and chakras are balanced, this is reflected in less stress and better physical and emotional wellbeing.
Crystals are known to be the most stable form of matter in the universe due to how they are formed within the planet. Therefore, they also have the most energy and are incredibly useful in restoring energetic imbalances. Each has its own vibrations, giving them the ability to focus and magnify the body’s innate energy through the stimulation and restoration of energy flow. By activating different chakras, crystals have the abilities of minimizing and relieving stress, stimulating brain activity, amplifying healing processes and aiding in the Law of Attraction process.
Crystals have a variety of different uses, but today, I’m just going to share with you a few of my favorites:
1. To Use During Meditation
As I mentioned previously, crystals are a key element in rebalancing chakra energies and can drastically improve your results when used in meditations. Whether you’re meditating to realign and cleanse your chakras or simply to clear your mind and alleviate a little stress, crystals can be used to extract or redirect energy or develop strengths associated with that particular crystal.
2. Aiding in the Law of Attraction
As the Law of Attraction is becoming increasingly prevalent in pop culture, many are questioning how to increase the chances of your manifestations coming into reality. Because the Universe responds in correlation to the vibrations that you project, utilizing different sets of crystals are essential in amplifying and elevating certain energetic frequencies that you wish to release throughout the day.
3. To Use in Self-Care Routines
First in beauty routines, crystals are now being infused into natural skincare products (shoutout to my all-time favorite skincare line by Herbivore Botanicals!) as well as everyday beauty tools. For example, it has become increasingly popular to use facial rollers made of primarily rose quartz, jade, or amethyst in order to not only promote healthy glowing skin, but to cultivate inner beauty and expel negative or critical energies from your thoughts. Crystals can also be used in your morning routines to boost energy levels, focus your mind, connect with your heart or attract abundance.
