Crystal Allies: Unveiling the Best Crystals for Protection and Shielding
While many crystals have healing and metaphysical properties, some also offer protective energy to keep their wearer emotionally and spiritually safe. Protection stones can help keep you centered or focused and aid in maintaining harmonious relationships. They emit vibrations that attune to their surroundings to create a safe, peaceful, and balanced environment. You can imagine protection crystals as little force fields that repel negativity in your body, surroundings, and aura.
Use protection crystals in either of the following ways:
- Wear protection crystals: necklace, bracelet, or ring.
- Place your crystals by your front door (or in the corners of your home).
- Keep crystals for protection on your desk (especially in a toxic workspace, or near negative people.)
- Keep them close: in your bra, pocket, or bag. (Always in your luggage.)
- Place them between you and your computer, or as a charm on your phone.
The best crystals for protection are Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, Moonstone, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Selenite, Smoky Quartz, and Tiger’s Eye.
Amethyst
Amethyst can help repel negative energy. Protection crystals, like Amethyst, help protect you against projections and keeps negative energies at bay.
Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is arguably the most powerful crystal for keeping bad vibes at bay. Black Tourmaline is considered a highly protective stone. It can also help ground you when the world becomes overwhelming.
Moonstone
One of the best protection stones is Moonstone, named for the celestial ruler of the night sky. Moonstone crystal soothes and calms its wearer by dispelling negative energy. This stone aids the wearer in focus and even enhances psychic powers. To make the most of this powerful protective crystal, cleanse and recharge it during the full moon.
Obsidian
Obsidian forms a shield to protect the wearer against negativity. It blocks psychic attacks and absorbs negative energies from the environment. Obsidian is often used in meditation to draw out mental stress and tension. It also helps stimulate growth on all levels and helps to clear the confusion.
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is one of the most dynamic crystals for protection. Rose Quartz both deflects negativity and attracts positivity.
Selenite
Selenite helps to calm and soothe stressful situations. Anyone under its energy field will receive a deep peace and sense of tranquillity. Selenite energetically purifies and cleanses the air wherever placed.
Smokey Quartz
Smoky Quartz is a high-grounding crystal and represents our connection to Mother Earth. Typically associated with the Earth element and root chakra, Smoky Quartz helps gently clear and neutralize any negative energy within the body by channeling it into the earth.
Tiger's Eye
Tiger’s Eye crystal attracts good luck and wards off evil or malicious intentions from others. Traditionally, Wicca practitioners carried Tiger’s Eye crystals in amulets as protection against curses or ill wishes. The raw stones are also often used in meditations to help to invoke clear thinking and insight.
