BodySpirtitual | Top 5 Healing Crystals Every Yogi Should Have

1. Rose Quartz
Healing properties: Rose quartz is symbolic of love. This crystal is highly renowned due to its connection to such a strong emotion – love. Rose quartz represents unconditional love of all things.

How to use it: As we all know, love conquers all, and love is all we need. I personally recommend this crystal for times that you feel down in the dumps, angry or afraid of something.

Let the healing power of this crystal resonate with you, use a love mantra (like I breathe in love and exhale negativity) and hold it to your heart chakra, close your eyes and breathe in the feeling of unconditional love.

2. Amethyst
Healing properties: This is a very soothing, calming crystal. Amethyst is great for those stressful days that threaten our peace and serenity.

How to use it: Know that you are going to have a stressful day at work? Feeling overwhelmed or frustrated by something or someone? Put this crystal on a chain around your neck, or slip it into your pocket and meditate on what it stands for.

Your intention combined with the calming, soothing power of this crystal will help you through whatever you’re dealing with. This is also a great one to put under your pillow if you’re having nightmares or issues sleeping. Paired with your intention, amethyst will help you feel calm and grounded.
3. Aventurine
Healing properties: This is the crystal of luck, prosperity and good fortune. Aventurine is the crystal you should carry with you to a job interview, to a meeting you’re nervous about, or any time you need a boost of confidence. Great for starting new ventures or even just keeping at your work desk.

How to use it: For the days you’re doubting yourself or your own abilities, keep this crystal on hand. Set an intention to acknowledge your successes and accomplishments while using this crystal.

Wear aventurine around your neck, hold it in your hand, or keep it in your pocket or purse. You will be surprised at how this crystal will open your eyes to the successes and treasures that already exist in your life.
4. Clear Quartz
Healing properties: Clear quartz represents purity and clarity. This is a great one to pair with another crystal to enhance its healing properties. This crystal can be used when you are working through an issue and need more clarity, or if you are confused and feeling unsure.

How to use it: Clear quartz is also known for its cleansing properties. You can use this crystal in your home to clear out negative energy. Walk into each room repeating a mantra of your choosing (I bless this home, or Let this home be cleared of negative energy, etc).

You can use clear quartz after a fight or a bad break up. Sleep with it under your pillow and go to sleep meditating on the mantra I will wake renewed and pure of negative energy.
5. Tiger’s Eye
Healing properties: Tiger’s Eye can help you manifest strength, power, and courage. This is a great crystal to have with you when you are feeling unsafe, weak, or powerless.

How to use it: If you start feeling powerless in a situation, take Tiger’s Eye with you, use the mantra I am strong, and let the intention of strength and the healing power of the Tiger’s Eye do the rest.

The popularity of crystals is no coincidence. The existence of controversy tells us that something is happening – a discussion is being had, and further thought is going into the use and practice of these healing properties.

Challenge yourself and your belief systems, give these healing crystals a try, set the right intention, and remain open. You will find delight in the fact that you have the power within you to transform your thoughts, your feelings and your outcomes, and the crystals act as an aid in this process.
