The Ultimate Guide to Meditating with Crystals for a Whole New Experience

It's amazing how much things have changed in just a few short years. I can remember a time when only spiritual types & healers like me had crystals in their home, office or meditation space.

These days, crystals, geodes & gemstones are mainstream. I’m so happy about that. Many people buy crystals now because they look pretty, which is great, but they don’t understand how powerful they can be and how they can help you on a daily basis.

Other people I meet want to learn more about what crystals are used for in healing to enhance their well-being, but have no idea where to find the information and what to do with the crystal itself.
I often work with clients to create crystal grids, but one of my favorite ways to use crystals is in meditation.

In this guide, I’m going to tell you all about crystals, how they help with meditation, the types of meditations you can do with crystals and even introduce you to a tool I created called Shen So Su.

The Power of Crystals

Crystals are gifts from Mother Earth. They provide us with healing benefits & special capabilities that humans simply don't possess. I like to think of them as little earth spirits that come in and heal different things for us.

We live on Planet Earth & that's why I believe healing must begin with connecting to Earth's beauty, energy & all the tools it has to offer us.

Crystals are all over our planet in caves, in the ground, in mountains, streams and easy to get to places you would go hiking. But it does take an adventure to find them since they are buried in the Earth.

Think of them as an accessory from the Earth. Just like we shop for the perfect outfit or the perfect piece of jewelry to make us happy or boost our self esteem, crystals do the same for the Earth.

4 Good Reasons to Meditate with Crystals

Now that you have a better understanding of the power crystals carry in the spiritual and healing realm, let’s talk about why meditation is so much better when you use crystals.

Mediation is sometimes thought to be an act of sheer willpower. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can actually let crystals do the work for us to help improve your state of mind.

These are all reasons I’ve found myself or reported by clients.

Reason #1 - Messages come quickly

The first thing I noticed when I started meditating with crystals was how quickly the messages came from my guides!

I’d lie down with crystals on my forehead and just like that, the messages came in like a flood. Whatever intention I set or guidance I asked for, the messages came loud, clear & quickly!

Crystals amplify the messages and channel them much faster.

Reason #2 - They ground you into your physical body

It’s amazing how many people are disconnected from their body yet don’t even know it. They walk around almost in a trance, completely unaware of how their emotional and spiritual issues are impacting their physical body & health.

Crystals help change this by grounding you into your body.

Remember, you’re born into your body so you should be happy in it!

Crystals are created by the earth. In that way, they remind us to bring ourselves back to the earth where our feet are actually standing on the ground. It also helps channel energy from the earth and send it into your different body parts that need love, attention, healing or calming.

Being grounded also has a nice, energizing side effect!

Reason #3 - Enhanced meditation practice

If you're new to meditation, crystals will help. But if you're deepening your daily meditation practice, get ready to shift gears!

When I close my eyes, put them over my third eye and turn on some background music, I actually feel myself shifting out of the 3rd Dimension into the 4th and then blasting into the 5th Dimension. This dimension does not have any negative thinking, ego, and or disease.

This dimension wants you to experience life at its best! The ultimate bliss. This is what we strive for everyday when the problems get out of our way.

It is like an initiation to the light, a more loving, and higher vibration that will heal you.

Reason #4 - They bring joy into your life

The last reason I’ll share with you about why I meditate with crystals is because they bring so much joy into my life!

The colors give me energy and vitality and creative ideas.

And they also bring a sense of calm and just peace and inner peace.

When you stop and think about it, that's what we are striving for on a day to day basis: figuring out how to live in this beautiful world of ours as a spirit, but also doing human day to day activities, working, raising our children but traveling, finding fun things to do.

They also bring opportunities, new ideas and help you find ways to bring love, relationships and excitement into your life.

The truth is crystals add a lot of happiness into my life and that's why I recommend them to a lot of people.

Best Crystals for Meditation

You can use any crystal you like for meditation. Seriously… use whatever speaks to you!
Once you’re tuned in, you’ll find you're drawn to different crystals depending on how you’re feeling that day or the kind of experience you’re looking for. Each one has its own unique healing properties.

My husband prefers a set of ancient river rocks given to him by a dear friend of ours who is a Lomi Lomi practitioner. He says they ground him to Mother Earth and his tribal Hawaiin spirit guides.

Some of my personal favorite meditation crystals include:

Lapis

Really good for healing the throat chakra

Rose Quartz

Great for opening up the heart chakra for love and opportunities

Ocean Jasper

Freedom of expression and the flow

Blue apatite

A stress reliever, helps you empty out your third eye, and brings in creative ideas

Smokey or Clear Quartz

As a master healer- it removes blocks and clears and balances chakras

Aquamarine

Very calming, connects you to your emotions, and emotions are abundance

Amethyst

Opens and elevates the crown chakra- heightens awareness and protects you in your spiritual journey

Tourmaline (& black tourmaline)

Keeps you grounded in your body, removes negative energy & vibes, helps remove anxiety

Selenite

The "magic wand" crystals can be placed on window sills or other places & bring in wonderful crystal energy

Types of Meditations You can Do with Crystals

I like to put crystals on my different chakras during meditation as they absorb anything that is negative or bothering you as well as ailments or pain. Crystals love to help absorb that energy.

It also allows you to simply set your intentions and meditate without working that hard. Take in positive energy & let the crystals do all the work for you! They even provide healing energy when you are open to it.

You may actually begin to physically shake or move. Or maybe you'll have just a little twinge to let you know that the energy is moving and leaving the body if it is not serving your highest purpose.

Here are a few other suggestions:

If you want the full astral travel experience, lay with crystals on your third eye for 20 - 40 minutes. Set your intention on what you want to heal.
If you have a sluggish thyroid or problems speaking up, place them over your throat. Set up some background music & set your intention to shift your issue and let the energy begin moving!
If you are an overthinker or you have insomnia, place them over your eyes. The weight of the stones will help relax your mind and the eyes will close and you will actually meditate!

They can be used anywhere on the body….it is a beautiful transformational tool that will open up the doors to your creativity and get all the energy flowing so you can get out of your head and into your heart and soul.
