Crystals are more than just pretty gemstones, they also offer numerous metaphysical benefits for your mind, body, soul, and space. Some of these benefits include: boosting low energy, preventing bad energy, releasing blocked energy, and transforming a body’s aura. Each crystal has their own individual frequency in which they vibrate the energy of the universe off of. Basically: they have the ability to uplift your mood, clear negative energy out of a space, release stagnant energy, and ward off negativity without you really having to do anything—which is exactly why you need them in your life ASAP.
There are numerous crystals out there—all of which contain different healing properties that can be used for different purposes—but there are undoubtedly two that everyone should own, and you needed them, like, yesterday. Keep on reading to find out the 2 crystals that will elevate your mind and home, and add them to your space ASAP.
The 2 crystals that will elevate your mind and home:
#1: Selenite.
Known as the universal cleanser, selenite is an absolute must-have for your home. It is one of the most powerful crystals in the world, and offers cleansing, calming, and protection benefits. Some healing properties of selenite include:
- Clearing blocked, negative, or stagnant energy
- Mental clarity
- Deep peace
- Calming and grounding energy
- Protection from negative energy
Selenite vibrates at a very high frequency, which makes its healing abilities even stronger. This is the perfect crystal for every space in your home (seriously, I have a selenite wand in every room of my house) because it cleanses the space its in and creates a calming, peaceful environment. It’s also a very powerful healer, and is sometimes referred to as “liquid light” since it protects against negative energy and can recharge the body’s aura, space, and even other crystals. Keeping selenite in your home will help clear your mind, body, soul, and life of any stagnant energy, give you mental clarity, and a deep sense of peace.
Selenite is also used in mindfulness practices. It can be held in both hands during meditation, or as a way to cleanse your aura by bringing it from the top of your head, down to the bottom of your feet. Whenever I hold selenite, I silently repeat the mantra: “I am filled with light, and free of negative, stagnant energy.”
#2: Clear Quartz.
Another must-have crystal for your home, clear quartz is known as the universal healer and provides balance and harmony. This crystal is an amplifier, meaning it has the ability to amplify energies, intentions, and other crystals near it. Some healing properties and benefits of clear quartz include:
- Balance to mind and body
- Protection against negative energy
- Mental clarity
- Emotional stability
- Manifestation
- Spiritual growth
- Soul cleansing
- Enhanced patience and prosperity
- Powerful positive vibes
- Pain relief
Clear quartz is used in traditional Feng Shui practices as a way to cleanse and purify energy. Placing it in your home can help dispel any bad vibes and uplift and clean the air. Once your space has been uplifted and cleaned, clear quartz will amplify powerful positive energy, creating a space that feels balanced. Additionally, placing it in spaces such as the living room can bring harmony to the space, and placing it in creative spaces can help channel and spark creativity. One of the greatest things about having clear quartz nearby is that it will adapt to who you are, and help better channel any stagnant energy, mental, or creative blocks you may be feeling. I keep a piece of clear quartz next to my bed and another on my work desk.
This stone can also be used for manifestation and meditation. Keeping it in a meditation spot can help amplify that grounding energy, and writing down an intention on a piece of paper then placing it underneath clear quartz can help manifest that intention.
