Meditating with crystals can elevate your meditation experience. Holding them in your hands or surrounding you can give you something else to focus on. You can picture the flow of energy surrounding you or going through your body.
Having a meditation experience with your crystals can also strengthen your bond between yourself and the stone. You may feel more in tune with its energy. Using meditation, you can also set your intentions within your stone. Some people forget that crystals are working alongside you to help you achieve your goals and using this experience can help set you on track.
Different formations of crystals can affect your experience. A nice smooth palm stone may be more calming for you in comparison a rough stone or one too large or too small to hold.
It is important to chose a crystal that has properties that are in alignment with the goals you would like to achieve through your session or a crystal that is able to help you with your intention. For example, if your goal is for protection you may use black tourmaline, if your goal is for self love – rose quartz, if your goal is for joy and uplifting you may use sunstone.
During meditation if you wish to hold your crystal in your hands it is believed that each hand holds a certain representation. It is believed that the left hand is your receiving hand, meaning it will absorb the energy of the crystal. Alternatively, the right hand is your giving hand, meaning it can take the energy from your body and push it away. You may wish to hold your rose quartz in your left hand to receive all of the love and hold a piece of clear quartz or selenite in your right hand to cleanse any energy leaving your body.
Meditating with crystals can be a beautiful experience. You can relax in a nice and quiet space where you will feel completely at ease. Get comfortable, have a nice chilled glass of water, get into a calm headspace and begin your meditation. Whether you use guided meditation or breathing exercises, meditation with crystals can help balance you, ground you and bring you to become your highest self.
