Yoga practices help both the mind and the body. Performing sun salutations is a great way to wake up and honor your form while practicing durability and downward dog. So is doing a corpse pose while inhaling slowly and not moving. You can go even further, however, when trying to increase spiritual energies. That is why we recommend using crystals to enhance yoga meditations.
Best Healing Crystals For Meditation Practice
We always recommend trying out the stones first during a session before deciding if they work for you. Either have them nearby on a cabinet or around your yoga mat or wear them around your neck or arm in a loose chain. You don’t want them to get tangled in your hair while doing a shoulder stand to plow. If they are surrounding your yoga mat, make sure not to step on them; that’s an easy way to lose the good vibes.
Rose Quartz: A rose quartz necklace will invite unconditional love into your meditation session. The stone is the symbol of self-love and will help you filter out hatred and cruel words. Wear it to invite tranquility as well, so that you can get the most out of your various poses.
Black Tourmaline: This stone is meant to symbolize protection. It is very easy for someone else’s negativity to affect you, especially if they are annoyed by how space fills up during a yoga class. In addition to letting the instructor move you to a more harmonic spot — though we recommend doing that if your partner is not showing positivity — use this stone to shield you from bad vibes.Â
Amethyst: Before their spiritual powers were known, the Greeks believed that amethyst stones cured drunkenness and hangovers. They are good for helping you shed negative energy during a yoga class or stretching session. See if an instructor will place a geode in the room or place it next to the speaker that plays soothing music.
Steps To Encourage Powerful Healing During Yoga
- Cleanse your crystals! Cleanse your crystals first, so that they are clear before your daily meditation.Â
- Clear and Protect: Cleanse your space with smudge or incense. This also clears your auric field.
- Be Calm: Find a quiet space or sit outside in nature.
- Focus on your breath: Close your eyes and take deep breaths continuously.
- Relax your body. Focus on opening your crown, third eye, and heart chakras. Unblocking these chakras will enhance your daily meditation routine.
Perform the following exercise to unblock your upper chakras:
- Crown Chakra (located at the top of the head): Expand your conscious awareness, by increasing your inner wisdom and attuning to your higher-self. Imagine a violet and white ray of light shooting over the sky. Every time you inhale it connects and activates.
- Third Eye Chakra (located between your brows): Imagine a violet light sphere in the middle of your forehead, as you continue to breathe, imagine the light getting bigger. This will open your third eye chakra, which will enhance intuition and psychic abilities.
- Heart Chakra (Located above the heart): Imagine a pink or green light sphere in the middle of your forehead, as you continue to breathe, imagine the light getting bigger. This will open your heart chakra, which will heal emotional wounds, increase compassion, love, and self-worth.
How To Align Your Mind With Your Position On The Yoga Mat
When doing yoga, you need to focus on being present in the moment. It is very easy for various distractions to
- Meditate & Reflect: Take a moment to focus on your goals for each practice. Do you want to stretch away difficult times? Release any self-doubt and anxiety about the world? Or do you simply want to breathe for a few moments and remain within the zone? Setting an intention helps you accomplish it better.
- Meditate with your stone daily. Hold a clear quartz or aquamarine (or any stone of your choice) crystal in your hand. The stones will bring more calm into your meditation session and relieve stress. Even if you don’t practice yoga every day, you can remember to breathe.
- Charge your energy tools! Know your lunar cycles. Different moon phases affect your stone’s healing powers in various ways. Take advantage of the full moon to amplify the energy of your crystals.
