Why you should be meditating with crystals?
If you’re someone who regularly meditates, you might be wondering what crystals can do to add to the experience. Most of us meditate by looking inwards on ourselves. Using a crystal helps you clear your spirit and amplify your inner voice, helping to create a more effective meditating experience.
Before we jump into ways that you can incorporate crystals into your meditation, it’s worth reflecting on why you should use them and how to choose the right ones. Your crystal will help you connect with your higher self. It will help you open yourself up to experiencing the spiritual benefits of meditating.
When we’re choosing which crystals to use when meditating, we try to match them up with the intention behind our meditations. Matching up these intentions will help you amplify the influence of both the crystal and your meditation. If you’re not familiar with your crystals, do a little research into their intentions before incorporating them into your meditation. Or, if you are using our ‘crystals and healing stones set’, then you’ll find the Beginners Guide helpful.
Every crystal has an energy behind it. If you’re not sure which one to use, Clear Quartz is a versatile option that works with almost any meditation. You can also choose your crystal by its colour to reflect the energy that you’re looking to connect with. Crystals can also be chosen intuitively with you feeling for which crystal will work best for your meditation.
Whatever crystals you choose, you want to make sure that you cleanse them before meditating. We have an in-depth guide here all about cleansing your crystals, with different examples of how you can do this before meditating.
How to meditate with the help of crystals
There are dozens of ways for you to incorporate crystals into your meditation. You want to choose the one that works best with you. Allowing you connect with your crystals and enjoy the energy and power from them. It might take some trial and error to find the best method that works for you. Allow the energies to guide you in the right direction so that you can find the meditation method that works for you.
Whatever method you choose, you can easily incorporate visualisation into your meditation alongside the crystal. You can visualise rays coming from the crystal, reaching up and protecting you and allowing you to connect to your higher self. You want to become attune to your crystals as you start to meditate with them.
While there are dozens of ways to use crystals, we are sharing some of the easiest ways to get you started.
1. Hold your crystals in your hand
The easiest method is to hold the crystal in your hand, using them to clear your mind and connect with your higher self. Holding onto your crystals allows you to develop a tangible connection to them while you meditate. When you hold a crystal, it can help ground you, allowing you to feel the energies and vibrations from the crystal.
2. Create an energy field with your crystals
You might decide that you don’t want to hold your crystals or be touching them while meditating. Some people like to complete disconnect from other things. If this is the case, you can create a crystal energy field by placing your crystals in a circle around you.
You’ll need at least four crystals for this; place one in front, one behind, and one on each side. The energy field circle will envelop you in the crystal energy. You want to make sure that each type of crystal interacts with itself in a positive way. With each stone amplifying the other.
You can also swap out the energy field for a crystal grid that is placed in front of you during your meditation session. You want to place your crystals intentionally in a circular setup on a sacred place for you, allowing them to amplify each other.
3. Connect with your chakras
You can place your crystals on your chakras to connect with the energy points in your body. Each chakra represents a different part of your being, both physical and spiritual. You want to choose crystals that are intentional and allow you to align your chakras with the purpose of your meditation. In the Beginners Guide that comes with our kit we give some suggestions of crystals that go well with each Chakra.
These three aspects – the meditation, chakras, and crystals – play into each other. For example, if you want to work on your Heart chakra, place a Rose Quartz or Green Fluorite crystal at the centre of your chest as you focus on your meditation. You can use meditation and crystals to engage with your intuition by meditating to your Third Eye chakra. Place the Amethyst or Lapis Lazuli crystal on your forehead and focus on your breathing as you engage with your intention.
Don’t forget to cleanse your crystals before meditation. You can also incorporate other aspects, such as our added essential oils, into your meditation to help amplify every element of your ritual. We have an in-depth guide on how to pair crystals and essential oils.
