Do you fancy dipping your toe in a bit of crystal healing? Here’s everything you need to know to get started…

When the world feels a little bit chaotic, we can lean on new ways to make our home feel more relaxed, positive and safe. Decluttering, cleaning, creating more storage, organising the cheap self storage unit and redecorating are all great practical approaches to boosting the way your house feels. 

Another, more holistic and mindful approach, is crystal healing. 

It’s something a lot of people swear by, but only recently has it become more mainstream. 

Would you like to make your house feel better with crystals? Here’s a beginners introduction to using these beautiful, healing objects in the home:

What Is Crystal Healing? 

Crystal healing is an alternative practice that uses precious stones and gems to bring all kinds of qualities to a home, or the people within it. There is a lot to it, but essentially, each crystal has different properties and you choose those crystals depending on your particular wants or needs.

Are There Real Benefits To Crystals?

There is no exact science behind the use of crystals for healing, but many people swear by using them in their life or house. 

The emphasis on their benefits tends to relate to energies, rather than anything particularly physical or exact. A crystal may promote better harmony in your relationships, or it might help with relaxation. Certain crystals are also thought to be very helpful in certain areas of your life and so you might have them on your person if they relate to you, or place them best to your bed if they relate to your sleep, for example.

Crystal shapes and colors are also thought to have particular benefits as well, so the benefits are far-reaching behind the crystal type.

Whether or not there are testable qualities to crystals, many people do find that they bring positive energies and benefits to their life. 

Which Crystals Should You Choose? 

There are many, many crystals out there associated with all kinds of benefits and powers. Let’s take a look at some crystals associated with the home: 

Black Tourmaline

Black tourmaline is all about protection and security. It is thought to be a block for negative energies, stopping them getting into your home. If you have a room that you feel has bad vibes, you might want to place some black tourmaline in it to help with the issue. 

Shungite

Shungite is thought to help protect you against negative energies that come from electronics. Place it in rooms where there are lots of computers, or where you are most likely to use smart devices or laptops. 

Selenite

Selenite is a positive, bright crystal that brings all the light and happiness into your house. It’s a general mood lifter so it makes sense to have it in any room of the house, and even in your storage units to bring a boost to the vibes surrounding your belongings.

Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is the ultimate calming energy, and is often recommended for people who struggle with anxiety. If you’re feeling like your home lacks harmony, rose quartz is a great crystal to have. 

Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace Agate is a great crystal for your bedroom because it promotes relaxation, calm and all round good vibes. It’s one to double up on next to your bed if you do struggle with sleep. Celestite is very similar in the way that it works, only it also boosts your chance of having lovely dreams. Add it to your bedside table crystal collection, and try placing it in your babies room too encourage nice dreams. 

Amethyst

Amethyst is thought to relate to your soul, and your deepest self. Place it in your house to protect all sides of yourself from negativity and to help you on your path to enlightenment. 

Carnelian

Carnelian is the energiser, so it works to have it in the bathroom to perk up your morning routine. You could also have it on your dresser, or in your kitchen next to the coffee maker to give you great vibes to start the day. 

Apophyllite 

Apophyllite is all things pure, good and light. It is there to cleanse the space, and any bad feelings you have. It works well in hallways and areas where your family pass through regularly. 

Whichever crystals you do choose, remember to charge them when it is a full moon, which is thought to help replace energy they lose naturally over time.

Is It Time You Used Crystals At Home? 

Even if you don’t believe in the power of crystals, they can look stunning in your home even just used as ornaments. If they do help the energy in your home though, they’re very natural, simple and often cheap too, so it’s a beneficial and easy addition to make to your home.
