What do crystals actually do?

In this day and age, crystals seem to be no longer taboo and have become very popular amongst pretty much everyone. Not only can they act as energy enhancers, but it has come to the attention of many holistic and energy healers that they also work directly with the nervous system—improving the quality of one’s inner being by amplifying their respective attributes. They are used to cleanse and heal any mental or emotional turmoil and help support your connection to the spiritual plane by protecting you from unwanted or unwelcomed energies.

Crystals increase your telepathic and psychic abilities and help transmute negative energy into positive energy. I work with crystal quite often and for various reasons. Like many energy and empathic healers, I feel I have a natural ability to connect with them on an emotional level. How I choose my crystals is very intuitive based. I don’t necessarily do a lot of research about them when I purchase them. I simply go to my favorite crystal shop and choose them based on their appearance and how they make me feel. Remember, “e-motion” is energy in motion.

Once I’ve made my choice and begin to read all about its properties, somehow, they always have the exact attributes that I need to develop during that particular stage of my life. So, if you’ve never used crystals and are wondering how to start and explore something new, I encourage you not to overthink it but instead take the same approach. I can assure you that you will choose the right ones.

My top 6 favorite crystals

1) Blue Kyanite

I absolutely adore Blue Kyanite. It can help you shift to a whole new state of being, spiritually and emotionally speaking. Its unique color and shape look and feel like royalty because it instantly helps connect to your inner truth. I have a raw crystal that I often carry in my pocket. I also own a necklace of blue kyanite that looks quite elegant.

A fun fact about blue kyanite is that it is also used in electronics because it is known to be a very powerful energy conductor. From my experience, before I even read anything about this crystal, I noticed that it immediately cleared my mental chatter. I felt so open I could connect with the higher realms through this crystal alone. Now I know this might sound a little too good to be true, but here are some qualities that this crystal is known for:

• High vibrational

2) Citrine Quartz

This crystal is created from heat, and you might notice a slight increase in your temperature when using it. In my opinion, I can say with confidence that this crystal is more than exceptional because not only does it help on so many levels, but it helps you go inward and address some of that internal chaos. It has powerful cleansing and healing attributes. I use citrine while I meditate or sleep and place it under or next to my pillow. But mainly, I use it when I need to do some inner work. It’s one of those crystals you go to when things get messy. When you know, there’s much more lying beneath the surface, the pain, sadness, and confusion.

From personal experience, I can say that this crystal helps me when going more in-depth, like the subconscious, and entering those rooms we haven’t been entering in a long time because perhaps they appear to be scary places in our minds. Please keep in mind that not everyone will use crystals in the same way. This crystal and its properties might speak to you differently, so keep an open mind and trust your unique experience with them overall.

I have a raw citrine crystal and a citrine necklace. I often place citrine on my chest to aid in healing or cleanse my heart chakra and on my upper stomach to work on my solar plexus chakra. Sometimes I place it on my forehead to help cleanse my 3rd eye chakra and get rid of confusion while gaining a fresh perspective. I often sleep with citrine next to my pillow. Here are some qualities this crystal is known for:

• Increases personal power
• Self-confidence
• Dissolves blocks
• Promotes solutions
• Bright & uplifting
• Detoxifies your system
• Dissipates negativity
