Using Crystals for Meditation

During a meditation practice, crystals are used as anchors in most cases. They work as 
an objct to feel energetically linked to and use as an object to focus on. You can 
program a crystal for meditation rituals, or simply use them to help improve your 
meditating abilities. 

Here are some of the best crystals to use for meditation.


Clear Quartz

The clear crystals are often recommended for meditation, not only because of their 
awakening energy, but because they are closely associated with the crown chakra. 
When you are meditating, you want crystals that can help you tap into your 
subconscious, which is what clear quartz will help you to do. It is amazing for enhancing 
your own psychic abilities and balancing out your crown chakra to become more 
intuitive and enlightened.


Amethyst

Another crystal that is often used during meditation when balancing the chakras, 
particularly the crown and third eye chakras, is amethyst. Amethyst has very strong 
healing energies, helping with physical ailments, emotional turmoil, traumas, and any 
negative energy you have. If you are meditating for stress and anxiety, or just to find 
more harmony, then amethyst is the crystal for you.


Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is often referred to as the love crystal, where people use it to manifest love 
and relationships. While you can definitely use this during meditation if you want to find 
love, it is also about positive energy and harmony within yourself. Meditate with rose 
quartz to boost your self-esteem and learn how to love yourself more harmoniously. 


Selenite

A powerful crystal that also happens to be amazing for meditation is selenite. This is a 
white crystal with healing abilities and is used often by people in the spiritual or energy 
fields, such as reiki healers. During meditation, hold a selenite wand in your hand for a 
deeper connection to your higher self.


Black Tourmaline

Lastly is black tourmaline, which tends to be an underrated crystal. Black tourmaline is 
filled with power and can help to absorb any negative energy you have. If you are 
meditating to help rid yourself of negative feelings or energy that is blocking you, then 
this is the crystal you want to use. Even if it is for something as simple as developing a 
more positive mindset as you work on personal growth. 

Remember that even when using them for meditation, crystals need to be charged often 
to release them of negative energies.
