Learn To Meditate With Your Favorite Stones

➤ By Liz Oakes

Crystal meditation is about using crystals to aid you to create a specific outcome during meditation.

Quartz crystals are powerful to use for this purpose as they are silicon based, and this means that they resonate further, but any stone may be used.

If you have a favorite crystal you can get started by using it or use one of the crystals shown below. 

It is easy to get started by using whatever stones you own as you can really use any crystals for meditation.

It is easy to learn, so if you haven't done meditation before just relax, as there are full instructions below to get you started.

There are many health benefits to doing regular meditation, and in particular if you are feeling stressed or worried meditation is powerful to help you to let go of tension.

Doing A Crystal Meditation

If you are new to meditation it can be helpful to use a guided meditation that is specifically written to aid you to relax during meditation.

This may help you to relax more quickly and easily. Alternatively you might like to listen to relaxation or meditation music. 

Seat yourself in a chair that supports your back when you meditate, as this is particularly known to be helpful.

Programming Your Crystals Before Meditation

As this article is about crystal meditation, you may choose to hold one of your favorite stones in your hand, like the lovely Lavender Quartz or Rose Quartz pictured which are two of my favorite crystals.

Quartz crystals are powerful to use for meditation and they can be programmed prior to use as they easily take a program.

You've never hard about programming crystals? If this is all new to you, read my article with my top ten tips for programming your crystals.

Note: its really not necessary to program your crystal, but there are some advantages which you can read about in that article.

But it is of value to make sure your crystals have been cleansed before you use them.

If you don't know how to cleanse crystals, it is important to learn this right at the beginning, as crystals can absorb negativity, and its not beneficial to use stones that are not cleared.

Getting Started With Crystal Meditation

Getting started: sit fairly upright if possible, as this will allow the flow of energy to move more easily down the spine and through all of the chakras.

If you are not familiar with chakras you can learn the chakra meanings here, but for now its not really necessary in order to do this meditation.

Make sure you are comfortable too, as you will not settle down to meditate if you feel discomfort or pain of any sort.

Hold your crystal in your hands and allow yourself to relax completely.

If you are using a quartz crystal this may create a more powerful and faster outcome, because quartz crystals have strong amplifying properties.

Note that when you use a programmed crystal in meditation, not only will your thoughts take on the positive values that the crystal itself gives to you, but you will also absorb the program as well.

If you have chosen to program your crystal to aid you to be more peaceful, these thoughts will radiate out into the field of pure potentiality to become reality.

Now Be At Peace Doing Your Crystal Meditation

• Relax... relax... Sit in your chair holding your crystals in your hands, which you place in your lap. 
• Close your eyes, and as you are sitting there, relaxed and at peace, take a nice slow deep breath in.
• As you let it out allow yourself to deeply and completely relax.
• Take another nice slow deep breath in, and as you let it out, feel any tension in your body just drain away.
• Again, take another slow deep breath in and as let it out shift the focus of your attention to the crystals that you are holding.
• Take the focus of your mind and place it onto the energy of the stones in your hand. Allow yourself to synchronize with this vibration.

You may feel the energy of the stone fill your mind. If that is what you want, just allow yourself to become one with this energy. 

Using High Vibration Crystals

If you are using a high vibration stone like Herkimer Diamond shown in the picture, you may be aware of the energy within your higher chakras. 

If you do, just shift your focus to where you are feeling this energy. You may also feel energy in your lower chakras, if you need it to be there.

As you continue to breathe in and out, just release any tension anywhere you may feel it. 

Simply continue to be aware of any changes anywhere in your body, and take note of them, then let them go.

Depending if you have placed a program in the crystal and its purpose, you may feel a number of different responses in your body, but just relax and flow with what is happening.

Allow whatever feelings that come up to drift through your body, and permit the release of  any tension or stress that may be in any part of your body.

Stay with the energy following its path, until you are ready to finish.

Give thanks at the end to the crystal for its help, and to the Great Divine Spirit for the results you have experienced.

Some Crystals To Use For Crystal Meditation

Whether you choose to do a third eye meditation, one for stress relief, a meditation to develop psychic gifts or a meditation to aid you to attract abundance, you can combine crystals with it if you wish.

If you are working on specific issues such as losing weight, giving up smoking or other addictive habits, using specific crystals that help these issues while meditating may be very helpful.

It doesn't need to be a long drawn out meditation, but may simply be a five minute short meditation if that is all you have time for.

You can easily program most crystals, it is just that quartz crystals have strong properties that amplify whatever you place into the crystal.
