Crystals in your home
A Guide to Using Crystals in your Home
Our homes are deeply personal spaces, so it shouldn’t be surprising that they reflect our energy as well. When there’s tension between people in the home, the home energy feels tense. When you’re sad or grieving, the home holds the space of that darkness. And when your mind is cluttered with chaotic thoughts, disarray will often manifest within the home as well. That’s why it’s so important to not only cleanse the energy of the home regularly, but also fill it back up with love and light. The more you transform the home into a space of radiant positivity, the more you will inspire your spirit to vibrate at the same level. Crystals for the home help you to set the tone for your space and spirit.
The energy of your home can shift over time. If you have ever been in a space that was completely clean and well lit, but somehow just felt heavy, or uncomfortable, then you can understand how a home’s energy is dictated by more than mere cleanliness. It has a lot to do with the energy that has been expelled in a space, and not cleared away.
If you’re not smudging or getting rid of negative vibes with high vibe crystals for your home, your space will start to feel dirty even when its clean. Not to mention, by not having the right kinds of crystals in your home, you’re not taking premeditative steps against the kinds of stress and miscommunications that start arguments in the first place.
In matching the crystal to the room, you can amplify the energies you need most in that particular space. When you start assigning your crystals their jobs around the house, the living room becomes full of life, the bedroom beams with love and relaxation, and the whole space takes on a protective aura. So with that in mind, what crystals for your homes are the best to not only cleanse bad vibes, but lift them up to create a high-vibe crystal heaven?
Crystals for the Office: Shungite and Pyrite
Shungite is an important stone for the work desk or home office because of the natural antioxidants found in the stone’s fullerenes. Unlike any other stone on Earth, this stone, found only in Russia, can absorb and neutralize the electromagnetic radiation (EMF) put out by electronic devices. If your desk is covered with a computer, tablet, phone or other electronic devices, this stone can be useful in combating that energy. It also connects with the root chakra, which will benefit your work by keeping you grounded and helping you to harness courage and resourcefulness.
Bring in the energy of a Pyrite to promote a wealth of ideas, opportunities and confidence in the office. Set the Pyrite on top of your business card to manifest abundance. The courage, motivation and overall sense of abundance you feel when connected with Pyrite’s energy will drive you to take those necessary risks or capitalize on opportunities for growth.
Crystals for the Bedroom: Rose Quartz, Selenite and Amethyst
Looking for Crystals to help you sleep and promote relaxation? What better crystal to have in the bedroom than one that invokes feelings of peace and unconditional love? Rose Quartz to the rescue! This stone connects with the heart chakra to open the soul up to vulnerabilities, and promote love in relationships. It is the quintessential stone for rediscovering self-love, as it brings you to realize that you deserve the same compassion and understanding that you give to others. Those with families can benefit for Rose Quartz especially. With a soft energy, Rose Quartz soothes the remaining tensions from the day, and keeps you from going to sleep angry as it influences empathy, forgiveness and lowered stress.
So being that we like an energetically clean room, having a natural energy cleanser like Selenite under the bed or pillow is a must-have for restful sleep and sweet dreams. This crystal of “liquid light” maintains an energetically light and charged environment. If you want to create an ambience full of cleansed, uplifting vibes, use a Selenite Lamp. The soft luminescence that Selenite Lamps put out will offer the perfect mood lighting for when you just want to rest and recharge your spirit with a good book in bed.
For those in partnerships, place a pair of Rose Quartz and Amethyst together on your nightstand. This energy combo balances that yin and yang energy and deepens the connectedness of your relationship. As the Rose Quartz promotes understanding and loving vibes, the Amethyst enhances intuition and relaxation.
