Guide to placing crystals in every room of your house
Bedroom: Amethyst
The bedroom is where we rejuvenate from the day’s exhaustion, love, sleep and ponder our innermost feelings. The stress-relieving amethyst is perfect for instilling feelings of peace and relaxation. It rids the space of negative energy to emit positive energy. Then again, it’s one of those crystals you can’t go wrong with, so try placing it in any room in your home.
Placing a piece of amethyst under your pillow helps you get a peaceful sleep as well as helps in interpreting the true meaning of dreams.
Living room: Selenite
For many of us, the living room is the most important space to keep energetically pure. Nobody wants to come home after a hard day’s work and enter a space as tense as they are. For this reason, it’s great to have an energy cleanser like selenite. Selenite crystal cleanses and purifies the environment.
According to Healthline, selenite clears the heavy and blocked energy, which allows the energy to flow at a higher vibration and thereby elevates the spirit. It recharges your space with positivity.
You can place a piece of crystal on the dining table or windowsill or even use a selenite lamp for decor purposes. You don’t even need to switch on the lamp to reap the benefits, just its presence works wonders.
Children’s bedrooms: Celestite, Hematite
The children’s room is where your kids unfurl their imagination and creativity, and it speaks a lot about their personalities. Placing the right crystal in this space will bolster their growth and create a safe environment.
Celestite carries a calming, soothing vibe. The gentle vibration of this stone quells chaos and ushers in a protective aura of white light. Place a piece of celestite on the bedside table for best results. Also, make sure the crystal is kept in the shade as prolonged exposure to sunlight will fade its colour.
The calming hematite crystal is also known to promote creativity. It is preferable to place hematite on an altar in the kids’ room so that it absorbs the negative energies. You can also put it in the closest left corner of the room.
Kitchen: Clear Quartz
There’s something so special about preparing a meal with nurturing love. Clear quartz can be a secret ingredient to loving energy. Placing clear quartz and even rose quartz on the windowsills will ensure that the ambience in the kitchen is always centred around love.
With its calming properties, clear quartz emits positive vibrations. You can also keep the crystal atop a table to harness its benefits. The crystal works wonders when activated through sunlight.
Office space, work desk: Citrine, Pyrite
Your office space and desk impact your productivity and efficiency, and having a well-developed workspace can reduce stress and make you more efficient.
The citrine crystal or the merchant’s stone mutates the negative vibrations into positive ones. It helps magnify your career manifestations when placed in the near vicinity. In addition, it brings enormous abundance in all spheres, including wealth, love, health and more. Place a piece of it on your work desk or any other location in your office to invite prosperity and positivity.
Meanwhile, pyrite crystal or the ‘Fool’s Gold’ helps maximise your potential. The crystal’s vital masculine energy attracts power and helps define purpose. Apart from placing it in your office space, you can also keep a piece of pyrite in your purse as it attracts wealth.
Front door/ Entryway: Black Tourmaline
An entryway gives the first impression of your home, so keeping this space clear and bright would instantly cheer up the mood of your guests. Black tourmaline is best known as a stone of protection, creating a barrier between your house and the outside world. It wards off negative energy.
In addition to this, the crystal aids you in gaining greater self-confidence or self-esteem. You can place a piece of black tourmaline on a window or shelf near your door too!
