How to Meditate Using Crystals



Meditation can be done without any props, but the use of crystals can help you focus. Meditation should be a time when your mind is clear and you connect with yourself. Any type of crystals can be used. The key is finding the ones that feel good to you.







Things You'll Need:





Quiet time




Comfortable clothing




Crystal of your choice









1


Begin by sitting comfortably, either in a straight backed chair or on the floor. Sitting in the Lotus Position is optional.





2


Set your crystal where it will be just in your line of sight holding your head up and looking straight ahead.





3


Focus your eyes on the crystal. Breathe in deep breaths through your nose and release the breath through your mouth. Try to clear your mind of all thoughts.





4


Bring your focus back to the crystal and continue the breathing practice anytime you catch your mind wondering, thinking of everyday concerns.





5


End your practice by closing your eyes, taking a deep breath and allowing your body to completely relax.
