5 Simple ways to Incorporate Crystals into your Daily Life
If you google search "how to use crystals" you will get 196,000,000+ results! as well as being nestled secretly within self-help books there really is so much amazing advice out there. We are so lucky to live in this snippet of time where we have so much information accessible to us simply by the click of a button.
But what happens when all that information gets a bit overwhelming? personally I try to not fall down the rabbit hole now (I have been there many times!) and even though I still love trying out new ways to work with crystals, I find keeping it simple works best for me. Those little tasks that I can easily incorporate into my daily routine that never end up feeling like a chore.
I am a huge believer in using your own unique intuition when it comes to crystals, our bodies know how to heal naturally and as human beings we are all different, we each have our own unique blueprint on this earth and I believe working with crystals is no exception. We can learn from each other but then tweak things to fit into our own lives, in a way that works best for us simply by using our intuition.
Basically working with crystals is all about finding what feels best for YOU and knowing that there is NO wrong way to use them. Sometimes you can be drawn to a crystal that's healing properties have no relevance whatsoever to what you think you need, but by letting go, listening and going with the flow we can allow nature and the universe to take care of us, sometimes it is after the fact that you realise how much you actually did need what you were drawn too.
One of the questions I get asked most often at Desert Rose is "How should I use this crystal" or "How can I use crystals daily"? So I decided to make this post in the hope that if you are struggling to know where to start or you don't think you are using your crystals in a way that feels right to you, hopefully you will find a few tips and simple ideas here that will resonate with you.
1. Keep them in your handbag/pocket
Let’s start with probably the most common way to incorporate crystals and that is to simply keep close to you throughout the day.
This can be in the way of tumble stones/palm stones or crystal jewellery...hey even a giant cluster if that's what you need!
And for all of us out there that wear a bra, it is the perfect spot for them, here they are perfectly placed close to the heart and throat chakras for added convenience, otherwise you can keep them in your pocket, handbag, car or wherever you feel they will be most safe.
Crystal jewellery makes it even easier, simply layer up your favourite crystal bracelets, pop on a crystal necklace and/or earrings and you are good to go, again the placement of jewellery is perfect to interact with your chakras during the day.
How to choose your crystals for the day?
Personally I like to keep a small crystal bowl of tumble stones on my dresser. As I am getting ready in the morning certain crystals within this bowl will catch my eye and I will instantly feel drawn to them, I pluck them out and they are the crystals that I keep on me for the day. A tip is to use a Selenite bowl that wat when you place your crystals back at the end of the day, the Selenite will cleanse and clear them ready for their next outing.
I am a firm believer in intuition and listening to the universe when choosing crystals to work with...sometimes our inner self knows us better than we think and you will be drawn to a crystals energy you didn't know you needed until after you have it. Give this a go next time you are choosing a crystal and then at the end of the day look up the crystal you have chosen healing properties and see if it relates to how you were feeling for the day.
2. Crystal Elixir Water
Crystal water has to be the most convenient way to incorporate crystal healing into your day to day life, It can help encourage you to drink a lot more water throughout the day all whilst reaping the benefits of your chosen crystals vibration at the same time.
Crystal infused water is the perfect natural elixir. By simply adding a crystal to your water (preferably filtered if possible), the water then takes on the energetic vibration of that crystal. This practice has been used within traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years for healing many ailments.
To create your own crystal infused water start by filling a glass or your favourite drink bottle with clean filtered water and then add your crystal of choice, it is such a simple yet effective way to work with your specific crystals healing energy, rejuvenating you from the inside out. (please be careful on which crystal you choose and research it first as not all crystals are safe to be placed within drinking water)
To amp it up a bit you can set an intention with your crystal prior to placing it in the water. The same also applies to your bath, to amplify the water and absorb a crystals healing energy try placing a few tumble stones in with you next time!
3. Place crystals in specific areas around your home
When it comes to working with crystals daily it would make sense to place crystals specifically in areas where we spend the most time, for me this is my bedroom, kitchen and living areas. Even though I love styling up special, larger one of a kind crystals in my main living areas, I do try to have at least one crystal or crystal candle in most rooms of my home.
In my bedroom I tend to keep crystals that have a powerful yet gentle energy that help promote a calm mind and a good night’s sleep. Some of my favourites for this are Amethyst, Pink Amethyst, Celestite, Howlite, Selenite and Agate. I have a large Agate sphere next to my bed as there is something about the symmetrical shape that is very calming.
If you keep your phone in your bedroom at night then a must have is a Shungite coaster to place your phone on whilst you sleep, they help block any harmful EMF's and with all the technology around it is important to try and remove this for a good nights sleep.
In my Kitchen/Living room is where I love keeping my clusters, they are exquisite and look amazing styled up on top of a coffee table or on a bookshelf. They are conversation pieces and I find they help keep the energy balanced in these spaces where there can be a lot of emotions, technology and appliances.
Have some fun and move your crystals around, you will know what feels right for you and them! Just keeping them around you in areas where you spend the most time can make a huge difference to how you feel daily without having to do anything other than placing them in certain rooms with intention.
4. Keep them in your car
Yes I really do have crystals everywhere! and it makes sense to keep them in your car. If you are someone like me who gets slightly anxious when driving long distance or even just driving in general, their good vibes can make all the difference.
I keep a lovely big piece of Tigers Eye in my centre console for protection and Lepidolite to help calm and aid anxiety. All you need to do is keep them visible if there is going to be a full moon thus keeping them charged and ready to roll.
5. Rose Quartz Gua Sha
Gua Sha really do not get enough credit. A GuaSha's purpose is to aid in a DIY facial lymphatic massage. Lymphatic drainage massages help to gently drain lymph fluid and muscle tissue reducing puffiness whilst helping stimulate oxygen flow to your skin. They can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin texture.
A trick is to keep it in the fridge that way if you wake up in the morning with puffy eyes the cool crystal is such a refreshing and rejuvenating way to help wake you up and stimulate the flow of oxygen bringing a fresh and bright glow to your skin for the day ahead!
These are 5 ways I incorporate crystals into my day to day life easily. I hope you found a couple of helpful tips and I would love to know what you are going to try out? If there is something I didn't mention or something that you do daily please do mention it in the comments below I would love to give it a go!
