Embracing Beauty & Benefits - How to Use Your Crystals

Feeling unsure or wondering how to use your crystals? You’ll adore the many ways healing crystals can be used and enjoyed.

The ways you use crystals will be uniquely your own...

Maybe you take pleasure in keeping things simple and gentle, like tucking a small, beloved stone in your pocket or wearing a delicate healing crystal bracelet.

Perhaps you’re longing to explore other ways to use crystals, like creating a crystal grid, designing an exquisite crystal garden or terrarium, or nurturing yourself with a crystal self-care day.

Whatever your crystal dreams and goals, you’ll find plenty of inspiration and ideas here for how to use your crystals.

Keep It Simple & Gentle

Using healing crystals doesn’t need to be complex or fancy. You can experience and enjoy a crystal’s benefits and beauty simply by having it nearby or carrying it with you.

Smaller crystals are ideal for having with you… slipped in a pocket or purse, worn as inspiring jewelry, or kept close on a desk, shelf, or nightstand. Consider a crystal's properties and choose one or two that you feel drawn to. For example, you may choose a crystal to nurture creativity, protect your energy, or encourage a sound, sweet sleep.

If life is especially busy or hectic right now or you’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed, these uncomplicated ways to use crystals may be ideal for you.

Explore Crystal Grids & Layouts

If you’re feeling ready to explore more crystal uses, you may love some tried-and-true favorites, like nurturing crystal layouts or fascinating crystals grids.

A crystal grid is a selection of crystals arranged in a beautiful pattern to support a specific goal or something you want to draw into your life. Combining different crystals together in a crystal grid can help to increase their effectiveness and energy.

A crystal layout is placing specific crystals on or around your body or holding them in your hands. During a crystal layout, you can lie down (on a yoga mat, outdoors on the grass, or on your bed, for example). As with crystal grids, a layout will have a certain goal or intent (e.g. for chakra balancing or to enhance creativity or self-love).

Create with Crystals

If you’re a creative soul who is looking for more ways to adorn your life with healing crystals, why not turn them into works of art?

There are so many ways to be creative with crystals. You could…

• Take a jewelry making class and learn how to turn healing crystals into lovely accessories and wearable art.
• Incorporate crystals into macrame to make exquisite wall hangings or clothing.

• Wrap crystals with wire or crocheted thread to create lovely pendants or necklaces.
• Create magical wind chimes or dreamcatchers with crystals.
• Craft crystal terrariums or gardens to enhance your home and workspace.

Remember, when creating with crystals, be sure to source supplies from reputable sellers to ensure you get genuine, high-quality crystals.

Decorate with Crystals

Part of what makes healing crystals so special is that they can be helpful and lovely.

So, when you’re thinking of how to use your crystals, decorating yourself and your space with crystals is a wonderful option, allowing you to surround yourself with the beauty and benefits of crystals.

When decorating with crystals, think about a crystal’s properties and where it may benefit you and others (like a calming or romance-enhancing crystal in the bedroom or a creative crystal in your crafting room or workspace).

And, of course, choose crystals that you’re drawn to, so you can enjoy their incredible colors, shapes, and character, too.

If you’re feeling ready to explore ways to adorn and cherish yourself and your nest with beneficial crystals, you may love to…

• Decorate yourself with healing crystal jewelry or accessories.
• Decorate your space with crystal arrangements, dreamcatchers, macrame, or terrariums. Larger crystal pieces are wonderful displayed on their own or in clusters around your home or workspace.
• Decorate your outdoor space (on trees, in the garden, or around your porch, balcony, or deck) with exquisite crystal hangings.

Celebrate with Crystals

Usually, we think of crystals as something to wear or keep nearby, stored in a pocket or next to us on a desk or night table. But another pleasurable and fulfilling way to enjoy, use, and connect with healing crystals is to incorporate them into special times and celebrations.

You’ll adore crystal celebrations like…

• Crystal self-care days (with rose quartz crystal baths and more)
  
• Crystal-themed parties and events (like birthdays and bridal showers)
• Crystals gifts for the crystal lovers in your life (including yourself 😉)
• Crystal dates – if your sweetheart is also a crystal lover (or could be), plan a date, road trip, or romantic getaway based around these sparkly stones
• Crystal classes (online or in person) to enhance your crystal journey

Crystals and Beyond

Dreaming of even more ways to use your crystals? Remember that crystals can combine beautifully with so many other interests, hobbies, and loves.

For example, to make an even deeper connection with your crystals, you could forest-bathe with crystals, explore crystal meditation or journalling, use crystal affirmation cards, or enhance your crystal journey with essential oils.

There are so many fun, amazing, beneficial ways to use healing crystals. Many of us love simpler crystal ways and aren’t looking for more… (and that’s perfectly wonderful). Others of us are delving more deeply (or are longing to), perhaps creating crystal grids, designing or decorating with crystals, or combining crystals with other passions.
