How To Meditate With Crystals? 

Now that we have discussed the best crystals for meditation, let’s talk about how to use them. How do you meditate with crystals? Do you just hold them in your hands and hope that they work? Do you need to program crystals for meditation? I know you must have a lot of questions about meditating with crystals. Don’t worry, I have all the answers you need!

Meditating with crystals is not as complicated as it seems. 

The only thing you need to do while meditating with crystals is to hold the crystal in your hand and allow your intuition to guide you. Take as much time as you need. Just hold the crystal and begin taking deep breaths. Call on the spirit of crystal to guide you. Ask how you can use the crystal to enhance your meditation practice. What can you do to build a connection with the crystal in your hand? 

You may be guided to put the crystal at a particular chakra point or you may just need to lie down and put the crystal on your heart/stomach. When it comes to meditating with crystals, the only thing you need to take care of is listening to your intuition. 

For example, amethyst usually helps with thinking clearly and listening to your intuitive promptings. While meditating with amethyst, you may be guided to hold it near your third eye. Or, your intuition may guide you to take deep breaths as you imagine purple light coming from the crystal and encompassing you in a safe space. This space will protect you from all negativity and help you focus on your goals clearly. 

Again, every crystal is unique. And, everyone who uses crystals has a unique personality. Crystals usually help people with what they need the most at that particular time. This is why everyone’s experiences will vary. Now that you know a little more, I hope that you will try meditating with your favorite crystal today!
