CRYSTALS for Protection.
Crystals are a practical way to spiritually protect ourselves and transmute energy. Have you been having trouble sleeping? Do you sometimes feel the energy-draining environments? Suitable crystals can help us navigate the energies we pick up along our journey. Here are some crystals that you can use to protect your energy and ward off negative vibrations!
Black Tourmaline:
Excellent for grounding our energy in life and especially in our spiritual practice. Black Tourmaline can help with our mental, emotional, and physical struggles. Are you dealing with depression or negative emotions regarding life? Black Tourmaline can help as this stone is an aid in uncovering what the real issue is. Use it when you feel scattered or pick up evil eyes from others. Black Tourmaline can stand between you and negative energy as it can deflect it. Sleep with Black Tourmaline, use it while you get divination readings, and incorporate it into your spiritual healing.
Lapis Lazuli:
This is one of my favorite crystals because it protects and assists in having a mature level of discernment. Lapis Lazuli can help open the third eye and increase your intuitive capabilities. Yes, you can use Lapis Lazuli for clarity, understanding our dreams, and even helping us build in our mediumship! However, the more practical way to use this energy is to allow it to help discern your environment and those around you. This is great for those who don't have a natural talent for being a good judge of character. Another way Lapis Lazuli protects is in its ability to keep us calm, cool, and collected in moments of frustration and rage, making this an excellent protective stone when we need to remain quiet before making a situation worse!
Black Obsidian:
Knowing the truth can be such an underrated way of protecting oneself. Black obsidians understand that knowing the truth can help us avoid a lot of trouble, which is why it encourages our spirit to go inward. It gently reminds us that to prevent chaos, one must remove the chaos one may possess internally. With that reflection, Black Obsidian can keep negative vibrations at bay. This is also an excellent choice in keeping you focused on the facts and essential details without getting distracted by petty attacks or attempts, and it helps us consciously undo the negative behaviors in which we take part. By far, it is one of my favorite accountability and protective crystals.
Selenite:
To know that one is protected, one knows it is aligned and has mastered learning to cut off from low and evil frequencies. Selenite can help align us with a higher consciousness where we embrace wisdom and ancient knowledge proven repeatedly to help us gain mental clarity and stay focused on what truly matters. In addition to increased spiritual wisdom, Selenite is associated with spiritual guides such as ascended masters and archangels like Uriel, Gabriel, and Metatron. In other words, Selenite promotes spiritual intelligence and wisdom that allows a high level of mental clarity, focus, and spiritual protection, making it an excellent protective crystal as the elevated makeup of Selenite repels lower frequency energy such as fear, jealousy, doubt, and negativity.
Smoky Quartz:
Did someone say they are going outside? Smoky Quartz deflects negative vibrations even if those vibrations are the ones we are self-imposed. It can help eliminate worry, anxiousness, and confusion, as working with Smoky Quartz increases feelings of security. There is no need to get "out of pocket" while working or wearing Smoky Quartz, as this type of grounding assures you that the only thing or individual that can get in your way is yourself. Smoky Quartz is also an excellent protective stone to take with you when you go into spiritual circles, ceremonies, or rituals that you have never been to or are unsure of the energy that will be present. Smoky Quartz will act as a protective talisman.
Amethyst:
Amethyst is popular but for a good reason! Amethyst stimulates the third and allows us to see things spiritually. This may be through dreams or vibrations you get within your environment. A great choice for a stress reliever, Amethyst is excellent for transforming undesirable moments, psychic attacks, or negativity. It does not mean you won't experience these vibrations, but you will be better equipped to deal with them when you have Amethyst as a friend. Amethyst is a gemstone that provides strength and inner reflection to help create the positive change you wish to see by helping us realize what things we need to work on versus what distractions are.
Clear Quartz:
Clear Quartz is an excellent tool for helping us experience balanced emotions, mental clarity, and spiritual abundance! Clear Quartz uniquely transmutes energy, promotes love and well-being, and amplifies any manifestations or spiritual work that aligns with us. Keep in mind that as an amplifier, you want to focus on the best and most positive outcomes and scenarios, as our little friend here will magnify them! With this elevated energy, one can increase their spiritual wellness, therefore increasing their spiritual protection. Using Clear Quartz comes with a certain level of emotional transparency as it promotes inner clarity and examination of your feelings. To properly use clear Quartz, one should exhibit a mature level of accountability to deal with whatever comes to the surface.
