3 Crystals for Meditation

Beyond our thoughts, ideas, and concepts, there lies an infinitely vast space. This space is empty, yet at the same time vibrant and alive. Each time we touch this space during meditation, we find relief from our suffering.

In meditation, our greatest goal is to be directly in touch with our sensations: not thinking about them, but just being aware of them. Being aware of our thoughts and feelings means being present in the here and now. As humans, we have an inherent need to be in control, to keep a grip on things, but meditation requires complete surrender of our attachments and egos. Instead of trying to control our thoughts and feelings, we should allow them to come and go freely. Only in this state of surrender can we see things as they really are without the filter of our minds.

Working with crystals can help us calm our minds and balance our emotions so we can develop concentration. The high vibrational energies of crystals guide us to a place of tranquility deep within ourselves, where we can connect with our true nature and experience a sense of oneness with the whole universe.

Blue Quartz for Calmness and Clarity

During meditation, we have a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse into our minds by being neutral observers. Blue Quartz can help deepen your meditation by enhancing your focus and clearing your mind. It is a great crystal to work with if you find it hard to focus due to stress.

The calming vibrations of a Blue Quartz crystal bring you inner peace when you're feeling overwhelmed or scattered. This beautiful blue crystal guides you to observe the flashes of thought coming into your mind during meditation so you can become aware of them and release them gently. Holding a Blue Quartz crystal in your hands while meditating helps you let go of attachments to thoughts, ideas, and outcomes so your mind can be free and present in each moment.

Fluorite for Focus and Heart-Healing

Have you ever felt that you have made immense progress with something, only to be back at the same spot where you started? We cannot expect to instantly break free from our negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs and reach enlightenment. Meditation is best approached as a lifelong practice that requires dedication and a sincere intention to become more mindful and aware, step by step.

Fluorite crystal can help enhance your focus and awareness so you can be more present while you are meditating. The uplifting vibrations of this crystal fill you with a sense of bliss and peace so you can more easily connect with the higher spiritual realms and receive divine inspiration and deep insights. Fluorite is also associated with the heart chakra and is therefore one of the best crystals for cultivating loving-kindness during your meditation practice. Its positive energy supports your heart so you can experience unconditional love and oneness.

To enhance your focus and open your heart, wear a Fluorite bracelet or a pendant while you are meditating.

White Aragonite for Deep Peace and Patience

If you’re struggling with an overactive mind and find it difficult to concentrate, turn to White Aragonite for support. The peaceful vibrations of this crystal help to clear your mind and dissolve restlessness while grounding and balancing your energies. White Aragonite reminds us that each moment of deep peace has a beautiful healing effect on our body and mind.

In our everyday reality, we are imprisoned by thoughts, ideas, and concepts, but once we clear out the clutter and free our minds, we can connect with the vast emptiness that lies beyond what our minds can explain. This world we live in is real only when our identity is present. If there is no more identity involved, no more “I”, this world disappears like an ice cube melting on a hot surface. White Aragonite crystal guides us to look beyond our everyday reality and see how everything is interconnected in an intricate web of life: a seashell lying on a beach, a ripe apple hanging on a tree, the stars above us and ourselves. Each one of us is unique and precious in our own way.

To enhance your meditation practice, create a peaceful sanctuary for yourself by placing a White Aragonite crystal somewhere in your home space for patience and tranquility.
