Meditation Using Crystals 

Meditation is beneficial to your total well-being by instilling calm and a deep sense of relaxation. It is from this quiet space that creativity is birthed, healing is ignited, and peace is created. Adding the use of crystals during meditation can serve as a powerful tool to enhance your practice. 

Why Combine Crystals with Meditation?

The relaxed state cultivated during meditation allows you to tune into the properties of the chosen stone. At some point you may have had a sense that the world is more than what you perceive with your five senses. This is the world ancient medicine recognized and tapped into to help restore harmony and balance to cure sickness, both in the mind and body.  When you meditate, you drop into that space that you have forgotten how to connect to. 

Getting Started: Meditating with Crystals 

All crystals, rocks, and stones are packaged with energy and information available to help you; it’s a matter of finding what “vibes” with you in the moment. There are a lot to choose from and this plethora of options can be overwhelming. Here are some helpful stones to have “on deck” due to their versatility: 

• Clear Quartz: Multipurpose stone used to heal, clear, and charge 
• Selenite: Charges up other crystals, lightens mood 
• Amethyst: Charges up other crystals, strengthens intuition, clears negativity 
• Aventurine: Helps to boost energy and decrease stress, promotes calm and balance 
• Rose Quartz: The love stone—promotes self love, helps to heal from grief or a broken heart, promotes peace and harmony in the home, attracts more love 
• Citrine: Recharges energy and releases negativity, attracts abundance, helps with manifesting a goal 
• Flourite: Helps to ground and balance, helps to heal, clears other stones of lower vibrations 
• Smoky Quartz: Clears stones, relieves stress, defends against lower vibrations 

These are just a few of the potential uses of each crystal. The more you work with a stone, the more it will reveal its story and how it can help you. Here at the Stellar Crystal Company, we can help you to collect the minerals that will help you during your self healing, self discovery journey. 

Choosing a Crystal for Meditation 

• When it comes time for meditation, how do you choose which crystal to work with? If you are working on something specific in your life, get clear on what that is and perhaps write it down. Intention is everything! Choose the crystal that aligns with your goal. For example, if you are working on bringing in more abundance, Citrine may be helpful. If you are unsure of the significance of a stone, you can do a search on our website under the Crystal Guide, use our search bar. Or, you can simply use your intuition. 
• When you begin to feel more comfortable using your crystals, practice letting the crystal choose you. Close your eyes and ask one of the following questions: “Which crystal is best for me at this time” or “Which crystal can help with ____?” The trick is letting go of doubt and go with the first thought that comes to your mind or notice what attracts your attention. Trust yourself and the stone! 
• During meditation you can hold the crystal in your palm, place it near you, or place it on a part of your body while lying face up. There is no right or wrong way to hold it. Everyone’s preference for working with crystals is different. Visualize your goals or intentions for using the stone and then let it go—allow the crystal to do its work. 

Crystal Meditation Exercise 

• This meditation is a good way to introduce yourself to your crystals and begin to understand how they can begin to help you. 
• Find a quiet space and settle into a comfortable position. 
• Have your crystals nearby (they should be cleansed already). 
• Close your eyes and connect with your breath for 2–3 minutes. 
• When you feel ready, select the first crystal and ask it for permission. 
• Hold it in whatever way feels comfortable. 
• Notice how it likes to communicate with you—color, sounds, sensations in the body, visuals, etc. 
• Note any messages it has for you. If nothing comes up, that is fine. 
• Write anything down in a journal. 
• Continue to do this with each stone, thanking it after each use. 
• End your meditation by connecting with your breath again, opening your eyes when ready. 

You don’t have to be intuitive or an expert to enjoy the healing energy of the mineral world. All you need is an open and willing heart to connect and discover what you may. They will always be there, ready whenever you are to ask for their help on this crazy journey of life. Trust your intuition and set your intentions!
