It seems like more and more people everyday are straying from traditional western medicine and turning towards alternative ways of healing or at least they are adding new complementary medicines to their routine. Things like yoga, acupuncture and even more popular, crystals. We’re sure you know at least one or two people who carry crystals with them, display them in their home or even hang them from their car mirror. If you’re anything like us, then we’re sure you even turned your nose up at the thought of carrying around a pretty looking rock to somehow heal or elevate your psyche. Those days are long behind us because we have now seen the light and are on board with the crystal movement.
It all began when we were gifted a few crystals for a birthday not too long ago. Three crystals and that’s all it took to have us hooked. Each and every crystal has their own properties that help to mend and amplify your mind, body and spirit. Good energy flow and the depletion of negative energy and thoughts are among a few things you can gain from possessing crystals and if anything they are also just plain pretty to have around. Some crystals clear your chakras and others even help heighten your “bad bitch” energy and then there are even crystals to help with physical ailments like menstrual cramps, respiratory problems and keep your immune system healthy. There are hundreds of crystals out there, but if you want to get into them then you’ve turned to the right place because we are going to tell you the three best crystals to have to get started on your alternative healing journey.
The first crystal we want to tell you about is clear quartz. It’s known as a master healer crystal because it amplifies your energy by storing, releasing and regulating it. According to Healthline.com, “physically, clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body. This stone is often paired with others like rose quartz to aid and enhance their abilities.” In addition to this, clear quartz is also good in aiding concentration and memory. That’s one crystal we won’t forget.
Next on the list, rose quartz. Another crystal from the quartz family, rose quartz specialty is love. Love is something we could all use more of right? This pretty pink stone attracts gentleness, love and fertility. It also resets your heart chakra and promotes healthy and happy connections and can also be used for comfort during times of grief. Carry this stone with you in your purse, pocket, car or hell, we even keep it on our bedside pillow to attract love into our most personal and intimate of spaces. Just like all crystals, they come in many shapes and sizes so we actually have a few of these laying around in different places so we’re always surrounded by its positive and magnetic energy. What’s even better about this crystal is that its not all about bringing other people into our lives for love but to also promote love within ourselves and we can’t think of any better reason to keep this lovely stone with us at all times.
Last, but definitely not least and certainly not the end of your newly found crystal journey, we have obsidian. With clear quartz and rose quartz we focused on healing and attracting love into our lives, now with obsidian we want to protect that positive energy. Obsidian literally forms a shield, a protective force that guards against physical and emotional negativity. Healthline.com says, “it’s also said to help get rid of emotional blockage and promote qualities of strength, clarity, and compassion to help find your true sense of self. For your physical body, it may aid in digestion and detoxification while potentially helping reduce pain and cramps.” We think of obsidian as the heavy lifting, scary bodyguard that keeps all the bullshit away. The stone itself is an enchanting, smooth black igneous rock that is formed from lava when it cools. If that doesn’t sound like something to scare away bad vibes, we don’t know what will.
Three stones, multiple properties, these are our recommendations for your beginner’s guide to crystals. Each of these crystals are special in their own right and help cleanse and support your mental, emotional and physical essences. If you’re still on the fence and not completely sold, just think of it this way: carrying around pretty stones may not make you more confident or bring you the love of your life, but it can’t hurt can it? So what you have some cool new crystals to display around your home, who knows, you might start to see some new opportunities in love or lose a couple toxic people in your life. Either way, we’re hooked on the crystal movement and our collection is only growing from here.
