The most common crystal question I get asked is “what’s the best crystal(s) for protection?”.
Now what does that mean, exactly? In a nutshell, people usually mean that they’re looking for a crystal that can prevent them from being negatively affected by unwanted energy or influences.
It could be other peoples’ stress or emotional energy; ill-wishing, cursing, or psychic attack; envy, fixation, or jealousy; sorcery; malevolent spirits or spirit attachments; manipulation or abuse; a run of bad luck or ill fortune; or even the bad vibes of a room, house, building, plot of land, etc.
There’s generally a list of crystals I can suggest, but the truth of my experience is that not all protective crystals work the same — what you work with very much depends on what’s affecting you and what you need.
Crystals and gemstones are metaphysical tools used in energetic therapies (like Reiki and massage), meditation practices, and countless other holistic methods. Each crystal contains its own brand of vibrational energy, which can be tapped into and harnessed to help heal any physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual ailment you may have.
When Reiki Practitioners integrate crystals during their private sessions, they enhance the healing experience for their clients. Crystals are easy to acquire and not only add a lovely ambiance to the environment, but they also possess healing qualities as well.
The immune system, which is the body’s defense mechanism, protects us from external agents like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and so on. If our immune system isn’t healthy, a simple scratch can be fatal.
Most stones have a very active life of being handled, traded, shipped and packed before they end up in their final homes. If you buy a stone from a store, or receive one from someone, it’s a good idea to cleanse all the energy that the stone may have picked up on its journey. In cleansing its energy, you prepare it for a new life and purpose in its new home.
