Use Crystals In Your Home

Crystals bring harmony and well-being to the home


Crystals can easily be a home decor statement. But these little gems do more than just sit there and look pretty; they are also said to attract positive energy, dispel negativity and harmonize the home. Depending on the type of crystal and what room you put it in, crystals' powers are said to range from increasing romance and passion to helping you become more successful in your career. Crystals can be used in a myriad of ways to create a peaceful, balanced environment in your home, according to Andrew Pacholyk, the founder of Peacefulmind.com, an alternative website.


Instructions


Types and Locations


1. Rose quartz attracts love and calmness.


Place rose quartz in areas where you want to create love, harmony and peace, says Kristi Huggins, author, project manager and expert contributor for www.healingcrystals.com. Put it on your nightstand to attract romance or under a fussy baby's crib to calm him. Use rose quartz in your living room to bring warmth, peace and love to the family and in a rose garden's soil to boost growth.


2. Black obsidian absorbs and repels negative energy.


Remove negativity with black obsidian, says Huggins. It clears the air of negative thoughts, feelings, resentments and anger. Place several crystals near your front door to protect your home.


3. Gain concentration and positive energy with rock crystal.


Increase self-confidence and mental clarity with rock, or clear crystal, according to Pacholyk. Keep a piece near your child's homework station or your home office. It's also an all-around healer, immune system booster and physical strength promoter, so use it in a bathroom or where you exercise.


4. Amethyst helps relax you.








Revered for its deep purple beauty, amethyst has been used in jewelry throughout history. But it also serves many functions in the home. Use amethyst in any area of where you'd like to quiet your mind, find peace and relax, says Pacholyk. Put a few stones in your bath water, as amethyst is said to have healing properties. If you have insomnia, Pacholyk says that placing a crystal in your bedroom will help you fall asleep.


5. Money and success follow citrine


Achieve goals and career success with citrine. This powerful crystal carries the sun's energy and attracts wealth and money, says Huggins. Put citrine in your home office or anywhere you'd like to invite motivation and prosperity.
