Some ways incorporate crystals into your day are to carry a crystal with you, these are great for calming nervous, and protecting yourself. Our Giving Stones are perfect for this, and the best part is that you can give one to someone else too! 

Another way is to place crystals in your bedroom, whether you place them on your headboard, nightstand, or pillow they can help promote more restful sleep, absorb negative thoughts, and promote relaxation. 

Crystals can also be placed around your desk at work. This is great for protecting you from negativity energies released from the technologies we use every day, and from negative energy that other people may be releasing near you. Our favourite protection crystals are Black Tourmaline and Shungite. Other crystals release positive and calming energy, which is perfect for the stressful days, for this think Amethyst crystals.

Finally, like placing crystals on your desk, placing crystals throughout your home can be a great way to protect your home, and encourage positive loving energies inside. Try placing Selenite near the front of your home to encourage good vibes. 

These are just a small example of some of the daily uses of healing crystals, there are infinite possibilities for how to use your crystals.

How to select a crystal? 

Crystals often choose you 

Remember in Harry Potter, when the wand selects the wizard? Well crystals are often said to work in the same way - crystals often choose you. Our recommendation is to browse the categories related to the emotion you want to support and choose the one that you are drawn to the most. 

What if I am buying crystals for someone else? Browse the emotion that you would like to support, think about them as you browse the selection, and then select the one that you are drawn to the most.
