Crystal Energy: A Few Common Crystals and Their Effects

Crystal energy can seem a bit daunting - especially when discerning which crystals will give you a specific effect. To dispel a little confusion, here are just some of the crystals often used, and their intended effect.

For relaxation, try using polished lace agate while you soak in a bath. This can also help your subconscious work out any issues that have been troubling you.

A celestite cluster can help calm emotions. This crystal is supposed to bring the tranquility and warmth of a summer sky down to you, which in turn helps bring emotions to a stable level.

Sugilite can help you get better sleep. This crystal has bands of different colors that help you transition into the stages of sleep and gives you a calm atmosphere.

Rose quartz can help you sleep as well. Rub a small polished piece on your forehead just before going to bed. This helps you get to sleep and helps promote forgiveness and self-love.

Moss agate is a crystal with many benefits. It increases one's awareness of sustainability, growth and prosperity.

Heliotrope, or bloodstone, may be a good crystal to keep in your office. This crystal symbolizes wealth and prosperity. It also helps with dedication and determination, and aids in overcoming obstacles.

A sparkling crystal can be a welcoming addition to an entryway. Because it reflects light into the other areas of the home, it refreshes your entire home's chi.

Similarly, light-colored shiny crystals can brighten a room. If they're placed on a table, or even hung from walls, so that they are reflected in a mirror, the whole room brightens.

There are a couple different crystals that can stimulate a child's room. A quartz wand is often used for this purpose but quartz can be brittle, so it may not be best for small children. Quartz glow stones can be a good choice for a child's room. When they're knocked on something, an internal flash of electricity can be observed; this stone will at least entertain kids.

A few stones can promote general tranquility and help you study effectively. Turquoise promotes the proper atmosphere for contemplating things. An agate slice or citrine sphere can help ease apprehension about being interrupted. Because the surfaces of these crystals are reflective, they can help you see someone coming if you strategically place them on your desk.

Yet other crystals can promote good luck in tests. Chrysocolla aids in art appreciation and may help with music or art exams and interviews. Rutilated quarts can help you transition from one idea to another, which is important in exams.
