The Best Crystals For A High-Vibe Work Space
With everything going on in the world, I have found myself keeping my crystals closer lately. They have become part of my daily routine rather than something I reach for only now and then. If you feel more stressed, scattered, or overwhelmed, having a little extra support nearby can feel so comforting.
Work can be draining in so many ways. Deadlines pile up, emails keep coming, meetings fill the calendar, and sometimes the people around us bring difficult energy into the space.
Even when you enjoy your job, the workday can leave you feeling mentally tired and emotionally worn down. Some days move smoothly, while other days feel heavy from the moment they begin.
That is one reason so many people enjoy bringing crystals into their workspace. Crystals can offer a simple way to create a more peaceful atmosphere while helping you stay connected to your intentions. They are often used as reminders to pause, take a breath, and come back to center when the day starts to feel chaotic.
Many people believe certain crystals can support focus, confidence, motivation, and emotional balance. Keeping them on your desk, in your pocket, or near your computer can help you build a workspace that feels calmer and more supportive.
Even small rituals can make a difference. Seeing a crystal beside your keyboard may remind you to slow down. Holding one in your hand before a meeting may help you feel more steady. Over time, these small moments can help shift the way your workday feels.
Crystals Can Revive Your Spiritual Brilliance!
Life these days can be very demanding and it is often a challenge to successfully balance all aspects of mind, body and soul.
Busy work days, financial responsibilities, and the demands of our social and family life, can make it so easy to allow our spiritual practice to slip.
Fortunately, the metaphysical power of crystals can help us keep our spiritual motivation going. Here’s how.
Ask For Support
Should you feel the need for support from a particular crystal, then all you need to do is simply ask for it.
For example, do you think you need to increase your self-discipline, or that your resolve should be strengthened?
If so, gently hold some malachite in one hand and request that it helps and supports you to this end. In fact, you could carry it with you at all times whenever you sense the need of its help.
Meditate With A Crystal
Before getting up in the morning, lie quietly for ten minutes with your amethyst positioned on the third eye – that being the middle of your forehead. While breathing deeply, visualize the energy this purple stone contains permeating every cell in your body and thus spiritually motivating and invigorating you.
How To Cleanse And Charge Your Crystals
If you use crystals in your spiritual practice, it is important to periodically cleanse and charge them.
For example, when you first purchase or receive a crystal as a gift, clearing it can ensure that you are working with a ‘clean slate,’ and are able to both fully connect with that crystal and set more powerful intentions for its use.
Beyond this, charging a crystal ensures that we are able to use it most effectively for our purpose.
So, how can you go about charging and cleansing your beloved crystals?
The good news is that this process is quite simple and easy, and you can use the same method to both charge and clear a crystal:
Moonlight
Place your crystal in a place where it can bathe in the light of the moon overnight. Full moon is, of course, the best time to do this, and one night is enough to both cleanse and charge your crystal.
That said, if I am using a crystal for manifestation, I will sometimes leave my crystal for the full waxing period of a moon cycle, from new moon to full moon.
Create Your Own Energy Cleansing Spray
Remember the last time you changed out a dirty air filter from your air-conditioning unit, vacuum cleaner, or your car? Remember how clogged with dust it was? In our living spaces, negative energies accumulate over time just like those ‘dust bunnies.’
Even though we can’t see these energies, there is a way to clear them on a regular basis. Think of it as the spiritual version of house cleaning.
Just as we’re drawn to refresh our surroundings with a good spring clean, our homes and sacred spaces crave energetic renewal, too.
Energies from arguments, stress, illness, or even just the daily grind can leave behind subtle residue. This energetic debris doesn’t vanish on its own. Left unchecked, it can affect your mood, your sleep, and even the flow of abundance into your life.
The first and most obvious step to take is to physically clean your space. Clutter and unwanted items work as repositories for negative energy, so it’s important to get rid of it.
After you’re done, imagine the space being deep-cleaned with an indigo or violet-colored flame. Use this as a silent meditation, and picture the flames consuming all that invisible ‘dust.’
And, just like your body or your car, your space can be cleansed and cleared of obstructions.
The easiest way to do this is to create a personal essential oil blend, which can be sprayed throughout your office and home. If made right, these smell wonderful, although their main purpose is for energy clearing and not aromatherapy.
Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own space-clearing spray blend. The ingredients can be purchased at an herbal supplies or natural products store.
Protect Yourself From Toxic Noise And Psychic Junk
How often do you consider the health of your auric space or personal energy field, which is constantly being bombarded with so much negative energy these days. Are you doing enough to protect yourself?
First and foremost, you need to have healthy boundaries. Each of us needs and deserves to have a safe place, a sense of self-worth, and protection from others. Think about what happens to a beach that is battered constantly by waves. It will wear down and eventually disappear. If you don’t have boundaries, your very identity will be like those grains of sand.
Learning to connect back to the Earth and nature is essential to our well-being. This can be as simple as walking without shoes in a natural space, or by keeping plants in your living space. When we are separate from our natural selves, we lose perhaps the most important part of our soul.
By walking in nature, you are literally reconnecting. Like a lightning bolt discharging energy when it strikes solid ground, you are releasing all the negative energies that accumulate in your body. Take a friend, or walk your dog if you have one.
If these energies, and their associated negative effects, are like frantic little animals in the cage of our bodies, we need to find ways to calm them. Centering rituals using meditation, candles, crystals, or whatever individual tradition you may follow, need to be part of your day, just like meals and baths.
End Of Year Moon And Crystal Energy Work
As the days shorten and the year moves toward its close, the moon’s energy becomes an even more potent ally for reflection, release, and new beginning.
The final months of this year is a powerful time deepen our relationship with lunar cycles and use crystal allies to support our inner work.
The moon acts as a mirror to our inner landscape. Its cycles guide our rhythm: the new moon beckons us to plant seeds, while the full moon calls us to release what no longer serves. When we intentionally pair lunar awareness with crystal work, we amplify our clarity, access intuition, and align with energies that support transformation.
I once worked with a university professor who, at the cusp of year’s end, felt fragmented by multiple obligations. During a full moon session, we guided her to sense what needed release, using amethyst for clarity and calm. As she held it and journaled, she relinquished projects that drained her energy and discovered space for a new creative initiative born of her deeper passion.
Another client, an actor, had endured months of stagnation in auditions. We chose a new moon moment to plant intentions. He carried citrine to boost confidence and attract aligned opportunities. As he remained intentional through the lunar cycle, his energy shifted…not from anxious striving, but from grounded authenticity. Soon after he landed a role that felt perfectly right!
The Powerful Properties Of Lavender And Sea Salt
If you’re looking for natural, organic ingredients to purify, cleanse and detoxify yourself and your space, there’s no better choice than lavender and sea salt.
These two ingredients are relatively inexpensive and easily found. You can even make potpourri or enjoy a relaxing bath with homemade salts without breaking the bank.
Depending on your preference, and its intended use, you may wish to obtain your lavender in crushed or essential oil form. Either can be found at an esoteric or herbal shop.
In crushed (flower) form, lavender is well-known for its aromatic quality and can be mixed with another floral scent if preferred. Lavender is also famous for its autoimmune properties and ability to stimulate mental clarity, including psychic ability.
If you like the scent of lavender, as so many do, consider buying it for multiple locations: your bath; a sachet for your pillow to assist in dreamwork; and a vial of essential oil for the nightstand.
Lavender is a cleansing herb; its name comes from the French word meaning “to clean”.
We all look for quick fixes in life to detoxify and relax, and there’s no better way than this herb which has been used for centuries. For those who practice psychic work, it is a must-have. Just be sure to test yourself for allergies first!
