Using Crystals for Love and Rest

As long as humans have existed, we have used crystals. Crystals are a great way to bring in the Metal element and each offers it’s own metaphysical powers.

You should choose whichever crystal you are drawn to. You can hold the crystal, search by color or feeling or look up the properties and see if it’s what you need at the moment.

You can coordinate where you place the crystal with the purpose of the room or the Gua. I have listed below the best crystals to be used for both Love (so they can go in the back right corner of your home) or they can be used in your Bedroom. The Bedroom crystals listed can also assist with clearing the mind for sleep and dreaming more deeply. Don’t forget to cleanse and charge your crystal with your own intention. For instance if you are having trouble recalling your dreams or are having nightmares, you could place a piece of Celestite under your pillow or on your nightstand. Place it with the intention to remove nightmares and for having good dreams that are memorable and help solve your problems.
