  1. If you’re looking to manifest a new job or career path, these are the crystals for you. You can use them to set intentions for the day when you get to work, ask for focus and mindfulness on a large project, or even manifest luck and good will during a job search. If you choose to use these crystals, consider getting small ones that you can take to work with you. [1]
    • In alternative medicine, these crystals are thought to help reduce anxiety and stress, especially if it’s job-related.
  2. If something’s missing in your love life or you want to love yourself more, look for these crystals. In alternative medicine, these crystals are used for finding a romantic partner, bettering your relationship with your current partner, or learning how to treat yourself with love and kindness. These are great crystals to keep in your home, especially in the bedroom. [2]
    • These crystals aren’t “love potions”—rather, they can help you channel love and open your heart to yourself and those around you.

  3. Feeling sick, either mentally, physically, or spiritually? Crystal practitioners believe these crystals can help you heal. These are great crystals to carry with you through everyday life as protection. [3]
  4. If you have any big decisions to make in the near future, you may want to use these crystals for manifestation. Crystal experts believe they can help boost your confidence and allow you to listen to your own heart and mind. They can also help you connect the dots and examine patterns in your own life, both good and bad. [4]
    • For instance, you might use these crystals to help make decisions about your relationship, your job, or where you’re going to live.

Setting Intentions

  1. This isn’t totally necessary, but it can help you set your intentions when you first get your crystals. Grab the ones you’d like to work with and have them on or near you. You can hold them in your hands and close your eyes if you’d like to. [5]
  2. Sometimes, an altar can help focus your energy more and direct your intentions more clearly. If you want to build an altar for your crystals, clear out a small space and display your crystals on a shelf or in a small dish. Add things from the 4 elements to your altar: fire, water, earth, and air, to complete the altar and focus your intentions. [6]
    • For fire, try using candles.
    • For air, try using incense sticks.
    • Add a small fountain or a shallow dish for water.
    • Your crystals serve as the earth element in your altar.
  3. Manifestation only works if you’re clear about what you want. The crystals can help focus your energy, but it’s up to you to keep your intentions in your mind and remember them every day. You can either write your intentions down or say them out loud, but make sure you’re focusing on the intention and the intention only. [7]
    • For instance, you could say, “I am setting the intention to allow love into my life. I want to open up my heart and let my guard down so my new partner can get to know me on an intimate level. I am harnessing this energy to give me strength in the coming months.”
    • Or, “I am setting the intention to work hard at my job and prove myself to my superiors. I will use my free time to better myself career-wise, and I won’t let my negative self-talk stop me.”

Harnessing Energy

  1. If you’d like to keep your crystals on you 24/7, you can wrap them in wire and hang them around your neck or your wrist. You can also buy premade jewelry with crystals inside so you’re always carrying them with you. If you don’t want to make your crystals into jewelry, just keep them in your pocket or your wallet to take them with you. [8]
    • Having your crystals on you at all times isn’t totally necessary, but it might be nice to take them to work or school with you (especially if you’re manifesting money or success).
  2. Simply being around your crystals at home is usually enough to get their benefits. Keep your crystals in the room that you spend the most time in, like the living room. If you’re manifesting love, some experts suggest keeping the crystals in your bedroom. [9]
    • You can display your crystals on a shelf or simply keep them strewn around the house. Since they’re your crystals and your intentions, whatever you think is best!
  3. Clear your thoughts and empty your mind by focusing on your breathing. Keep your crystals in front of you, and touch them with your hands if you’d like to. Bring your intention to the forefront of your mind, and repeat it in your head. Try to do this for 10 to 15 minutes everyday to manifest with your crystals. [10]
    • Meditation isn’t totally necessary, but it might help (and it’s a great relaxation technique).

Cleansing

  1. As you manifest with your crystals, they may get clogged with negative energy or bad vibes. To ensure that your crystals continue helping you, it’s important to cleanse them regularly. Try to cleanse your crystals about every month or so to keep them healthy and thriving. [11]
    • Some people suggest that if you wear your crystals every day, you should cleanse them every night. However, you can decide whether you want to do that or not.
  2. The easiest way to cleanse your crystals is to bring them over to the sink and hold them under running water for about 1 minute. [12] Then, give them a dunk in a bowl of water and dry them off with a towel. Not only will this cleanse your crystals spiritually, but it will get rid of any dust and grime, too. [13]
    • You can also soak your crystals in water overnight if you think they need it.
  3. Sunlight both cleanses and energises crystals, so it’s a good idea to do this regularly. Set your crystals outside on a sunny day and leave them for 8 to 12 hours. Bring them back inside at the end of the day for clean, refreshed crystals. [14] [15]
    • If you’re worried that sunlight might fade your crystals, you can leave them outside in the moonlight instead.
  4. If you’ve had your crystals for a while and you’ve never cleansed them, they might need to be buried. Head outside and dig a shallow hole, then put your crystals in the dirt. Cover your crystals back up and leave them there at least overnight. When you’re ready, dig them back up and rinse them off. [16]
