THE BEST CRYSTAL COMBINATIONS TO USE ON A DAILY BASIS

“THE CRYSTALS WE ARE DRAWN TO ARE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE CRYSTALS WE NEED FOR HEALING.”

While its fun to play with your crystals and use them for elaborate full moon rituals and baths, it doesn’t have to be like that every single time you work with them. We’re all living busy lives, adding one more thing to your schedule can be exhausting thus leading you to procrastinate or never doing things at all. Social media tends to add pressure by making you feel like its necessary to go all out but it doesn’t have to be complicated. There are so many ways to use your crystals on a daily basis.

Before getting started: Cleanse your stones and make sure they are clear of any past programing. Hold them in your hands and state your intention clearly.

For a boost of inspiration — CARNELIAN + CITRINE

Working on a project and can’t find the right motivation or inspiration? You can use Carnelian and Citrine to boost your creative juices.

You can put them in a bowl next to your workspace and absorb the creative energies these two have to offer. Carnelian will help you activate feelings of confidence and courage while it removes feelings of doubt and despair. It will remind you of your unique talents. It can also help you step into your true power, giving you the power to take on any task.

 Citrine is a great manifestation stone, it will help you create the type of energy needed to be successful while creating. Citrine will boost your mood and help you think clearly. Its said to carry the energy of the sun, dispelling all low frequency energy and making it positive. 

To help you sleep at night — SELENITE + LEPIDOLITE (one of my favorite combinations)

For a full nights rest, sleep with Selenite and Lepidolite under your pillow. These two will clear the mind and get it ready to take off into deep deep slumber. Lepidolite will help stop the repetitive thoughts that keep you up at night. This stone will help you unwind, relieve stress, and reduce anxiety.

Selenite will help clear the mind and release any heaviness you could have picked up during the day. This stone is extremely clearing and powerful! It is known as “liquid light”, you can feel immediate results. I recommend holding it on your chest or head before bedtime to clear and align. Pair this duo with some passionflower or skullcap tea and you’re set!

To attract loving interactions and pleasant days — ROSE QUARTZ + MALACHITE + CITRINE

Use these three to encourage pleasant and loving interactions with those around you. Of course you have to be willing to do the work but this combination will be a gentle reminder. Carry rose quartz to increase feelings of peace, love, compassion and to help encourage leading from the heart.

Malachite is associated with strong love goddesses and its deep green hues makes it a great heart chakra stone. You can use it to enhance your personal power, and protection in workspaces.

Citrine will help boost your mood and transmute negative thoughts into positive ones. It is said to carry the energy of the sun. A great manifestation crystal and can also help you attract money —looks like a win-win to me!

To cleanse yourself and your crystals everyday — SELENITE

Wave a selenite wand around your body clockwise or simply hold it on your chest. Sit and let the liquid light illuminate your body and clear it of any heavy or low energy you could’ve picked up that day. Selenite is a self cleansing crystal and can cleanse any object or space with its light energy. You can also put your crystals on a selenite wand for an easy and effective way to cleanse your crystals overnight. We don’t always have time for smudging and cleansing — so this one is a favorite in my book!

To reconnect with divine feminine energy — ROSE QUARTZ + CITRINE + MOONSTONE

Rose Quartz for self-love, self-confidence, and self- esteem. Teaches you to be soft and gentle with yourself and others. A very nurturing stone.

Citrine is said to carry the suns energy. Helps boost creativity and optimism. The energy citrine carries can help deter and transmute energy into more productive activity.

Sometimes all we need is to nurture tend to ourselves. I can’t think of a better stone than, Moonstone. A stone that embodies the divine feminine, motherly energy, fertility and new beginnings. It will help you tune into your intuition, encourage hope and can also enhance your intuition.

HOW TO: CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS

IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, THINK IN TERMS OF ENERGY, FREQUENCY AND VIBRATION. - NIKOLA TESLA

Just like everything else, crystals need cleaning too. I know, I know... The last thing you want to do is add something else to your endless list of chores. But its really not THAT bad! As a matter of fact, since we talked about how to cleanse your space in our previous post, this is going to be an easy task for you! I'll give you a few different examples of how to clear your crystals. I have tried all these methods myself. All very easy and simple and you can choose whichever fits you and your schedule the best.

Think about it this way -- a lot of crystals act as place holders for your energy or other peoples energy. These stones are absorbing energy, good AND bad. Would you like to carry all that around? Yeah, I didn't think so! THIS is why its important to cleanse your stones often. Especially, protective stones/crystals whose sole purpose is to absorb negative energy in order to protect you from it. Now, that we know why lets talk about how!

Smoke: A good time to do this would be while you are using smoke to clear unwanted energy from yourself or your space. You may as well take the time to cleanse your crystals, since you are already creating the perfect environment for this. Simply wave the smoke unto and around each stone. Or you can clear them all at once while they are sitting on a shelf or wherever you have them setup. I like to take the time to clean & organize my crystals while I cleanse them. Sometimes while cleansing, I will feel attracted to specific crystals and this is how I know I need to work with that specific crystal and its energy.

Moonlight: I like to do this during a full moon for a better effect. Plus, its a good way to make it a routine. But, you can also do this any night and as often as you'd like. Simply place your crystals outside to charge under the moonlight or you can put them on your window sill while they're in a glass bowl. In the morning they will be ready to use again. Just make sure not to leave them out in the sunlight too long as this can discolor some crystals.

Selenite: Selenite is a clearing crystal. Place whichever crystal you wish to cleanse next to a selenite wand and let sit. I usually let it cleanse overnight. 

Salt: Another easy way to clear your crystals is by putting them in a bowl of salt. Sea salt and pink Himalayan salt are the best to use but use. Cover your crystals with salt, let sit overnight. Dispose of salt outside when done, do not reuse salt.

Water: Like a river, lake, natural spring or ocean. Any body of water can be used due to its cleansing and purifying abilities.

I hope you enjoyed these simple yet effective ways to cleanse you crystals.
