Improving the Energy in Your Home Using Crystals

Your home is a safe haven, a special place where you can find solace, peace, rest and security. It is, to all intents and purposes, your sacred space. The place where you can get away from the rest of the world. Depending on who you live with or who comes into your home environment, the energy level and vibration of your home can be constantly changing and can be changed from things like having guests over, an argument taking place, old furniture or clothes being moved in or even if things get a little cluttered and messy.

It’s super important to clear bad energies in your home so that you can live more peacefully and comfortably. If your energies are not cleansed regularly, it can result in feeling uncomfortable, dense, stagnant, a difficulty feeling relaxed and it can definitely impact on your mood.
You can help yourself by thinking about keeping the place clutter free (think minimalistic style) and letting in fresh air and natural light wherever possible but for me, the key to lifting the energy in the home is smudging with natural, organic sage sticks and a few carefully placed crystals incorporated into your living environment to increase the vibration quickly and smartly.

There are so many crystals and crystal types to choose from that I’m sure it can feel a bit overwhelming, right? Points, pebbles, raw, rough, clusters, candles, gridding……

Well, there is a place for all those things but it is worth remembering that any crystal you choose to use will be programmed with your intention (what you want it to do) and that while a crystal grid is great for creating energetic boundaries and purifying an environment, a cluster radiates energy in all directions and is particularly useful to use as centre-piece on a table, or placed on a shelf, polished, raw, spheres, eggs, chips are all useful in their own right. The value of a crystal should not be placed on its size but on the vibration, the intention and feeling behind it. If it feels right, it probably is right.

Keeping a specific stone in each area of the home will bring about an ambience of balance and harmony creating an overall sense of emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Please note, this is just a guide and you should always be guised by your own intuition.

Keeping crystals in the home is a wonderful way to attract positive energy to a space. They will amplify the vibration you require while clearing away any negativity. There are lots of ways to introduce crystals to your home and exploring different crystal collections and placing them for purpose can be extremely rewarding.

Entrance way/ Hallway
You want the entrance to your home to carry a safe, warm, welcoming and inviting energy. It is important to keep this space clean and to cleanse regularly, using sage as it reflects the energy of your entire home and also, it is the prime place for comings and goings and therefore, other people’s energies.
Crystals to use:
•Black tourmaline
•Citrine
•Hematite
•Selenite

Black tourmaline and hematite offer a powerful combination to keep this area protected, comfortable and free from negative energy, literally stopping negativity at the door. (I pop some piece under my doormat) Citrine attracts warmth, joy and happiness as well as prosperity and abundance. Selenite, attracts light and positivity while creating a protective barrier against negative energy.
*you can keep your sage stick in a dish in the hallway if you wish to ensure the area is always clear of negative energy.

Kitchen
These days, the kitchen is very often the heart of the home. It is where we socialise, come together to share conversation or food and where we interact with one another. In this social hub of the house, we want to create a loving, nurturing energy with easy communication, good health and loving relationships and friendships.
Crystals to use:
•Rutilated Quartz
•Clear Quartz
•Aventurine
•Calcite
•Rose quartz
•Citrine

Rutilated or Clear Quartz are powerful cleansers and energisers helping to keep the energy light and clear. Aventurine is such a wonderful, uplifting crystal bringing in happiness, peace and wellness. Calcite is a positive energy amplifier, eliminating stagnant energy and encouraging positive and loving communication, empathy and trust. Rose Quartz promotes a healthy, nurturing environment. Citrine is happiness in a stone. Attracting joy and success and enhancing energy and production.

The Living-Room
Ideally, a living room should be warm and relaxing. It is healthy to promote peaceful and honest conversation here and a little coffee table collection or a cluster (where energy radiates in all directions) looks beautiful here.
Crystals to use:
•Aventurine
•Rose Quartz
•Amethyst
•Clear Quartz
•Smoky Quartz
•Fluorite
Both clear quartz and smoky quartz are powerful cleansing crystals and will help to keep a space clear of negative energy. An amethyst or clear quartz cluster will radiate positive energy in all directions so is perfectly placed in the centre of a room, say on a coffee table. Rose Quartz works well with all of these stones to increase vibrancy and peace and harmony. Adding calming and stabilising fluorite is a beautiful finisher, here. Fluorite works to provide focus and clarity, increases concentration and is an effective crystal against electromagnetic stress.
You can also use these stones to create a room grid which is another way of amplifying the healing properties.
*Combining crystals with houseplants in the living room amplifies the energies of growth and prosperity.

Bedroom
Your private sanctuary where you rest and relax. Crystals can be hugely supportive in achieving deep and restorative sleep too. Here, a nice calming vibration, promoting peace, tranquillity and a warm, relaxing atmosphere is optimal. The key is to not overload your relaxation space as you don not want the energies conflicting.
Crystals to use:
•Rose Quartz
•Angelite
•Kyanite
•Amethyst
•Celestite
•Moonstone
•Howlite
•Lepidolite
•Clear Quartz
The lovely calming attributes of rose quartz, amethyst, celestite, angelite and howlite are just perfect and gentle enough to promote a balance of peace and rest. If you feel restless or stressed before sleep, try holding your howlite for a moment to quiet the mind or place one on your bedside table. Rose Quartz promotes love and peace, amethyst is calming and relaxing and to help with insomnia, pop a lepidolite, angelite, amethyst, kyanite or moonstone under your pillow.
*My go-to crystal combination for every bedroom is rose quartz, lepidolite and amethyst. you can always add crystals to sleep with but those three together make a powerful vibration that will really change and charge the energy in your bedroom.

Children’s Bedroom
A child’s bedroom differs from ours because it needs to feel extra safe, secure and encourage a feeling of love and peace. The crystals used here should be loving and nurturing and bring a sense of comfort.
Crystals should be placed out of reach.
Crystals to use:
•Amethyst
•Rose Quartz
•Howlite
•Kunzite
•Fuchsite
•Black Obsidian
•Black Tourmaline
Children will be naturally drawn to crystals and it is important to let them choose what they are drawn to. It is also a nice idea to use crystals in fun activities like creating crystal grids or artwork and bathing with them so that they can begin to attune to their subtle vibrations. Kunzite and fuchsite are very gentle stones that bring a sweet and nurturing energy that helps with deep sleep and relaxation. Keeping an amethyst near the bed or in a corner of the room, will promote positive and calming energy (think hyperactive children or those with additional needs) and for older children, placing black obsidian or tourmaline in the room will help to keep them grounded and stabilised. Amethyst is typically used to ward off nightmares.
*Placing an Amethyst or Rose Quartz under your child’s pillow, mattress or bed will encourage feelings of peace, love and comfort as they sleep and they will wake feeling rested and calm.

Bathroom
The place where we wash all our cares away! Your bathroom should be a place of clutter free cleanliness, where you recharge your batteries and create a fresh start every day. Creating an ambience here is essential to raise wellbeing and to capitalise on your literal and metaphoric cleansing session. Add candles, oils and/or a room diffuser to create a lovely purifying and cleansing energy.
Crystals to use:
•Chrysophrase
•Blue lace agate
•Aquamarine
•Calcite
•Rose quartz
•Amethyst
•Jade
A lovely chunk of clear quartz or calcite will bring a lovely refreshing, positive, healing energy to your wash room, alleviating stress and motivating you for the day. Chrysophrase and blue lace agate are energised by water, as is aquamarine, and are very soothing and cleansing in their own right, encouraging you take this quiet time to contemplate your day ahead or the day you have had. Taking a couple of amethyst crystals into the bath or shower with you is a perfect way to de-stress and relax you before bed. Jade and rose quartz have lovely anti-aging properties and both are wonderful to add to your beauty routine. Keep near face creams, moisturisers, skin tonics and use applied gently to the skin to promote a healthy complexion.
*use a Jade or Rose quartz roller for increased blood circulation and a glowing complexion. Great for fine lines and wrinkles and combats acne and eczema.
