3. How to Use Crystals in Your Daily Life
Incorporating crystals into your routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few beginner-friendly practices:
1. Carry Them With You
Keep a crystal in your pocket, purse, or as jewelry to benefit from its energy throughout the day.
2. Meditate With Them
Hold a crystal in your hand or place it on your body during meditation to amplify your focus and intentions.
3. Use Them in Your Space
Place crystals around your home or workspace to create a positive, high-vibrational environment. For example:
- Amethyst: On your nightstand for better sleep.
- Citrine: In your workspace for creative flow.
- Black Tourmaline: By your front door to protect your home’s energy.
4. Cleansing and Charging Your Crystals
Crystals absorb energy over time, so regular cleansing is essential to keep them working effectively. Here’s how:
- Smoke Cleansing: Pass your crystals through the smoke of sage or palo santo.
- Moonlight: Leave your crystals under the light of the full moon to recharge.
- Sound Baths: Use a singing bowl or tuning fork to cleanse with sound vibrations.
✨ Pro Tip: At Dear Universe, we also offer sound baths to refresh and recharge your crystals!
5. Using Crystals for Manifestation and Protection
Crystals amplify your intentions when used in rituals or affirmations. Here’s how:
Manifestation Ritual with Citrine
- Write down your goal or desire on a piece of paper.
- Place citrine on top of the paper.
- Hold the crystal and visualize your goal as if it’s already achieved.
Protection Practice with Black Tourmaline
- Hold black tourmaline in your hand before leaving your house.
- Say, “I am protected and surrounded by positive energy.”
- Keep the stone on you as a shield throughout the day.
