The use of crystals for healing has been a common practice since the time of Ancient Egypt. Though our world has evolved, these precious stones remain a source of spiritual and emotional well-being for many.
What better time to bring some spiritual and emotional healing into your life than during the ups and downs of your fertility journey?
Let’s take a look at the why and how of fertility crystals and the best types to use!
Why Use Crystals for Fertility?
Fertility crystals are believed to rid the body of energetic blockages that may be contributing to fertility issues.
To be more specific, these blockages or imbalances are said to be located in a the “sacral chakra,” according to London-based spiritual healer and founder of Rebel Alchemy Julie Higgins:
“The Sacral Chakra is a woman’s powerhouse controlling reproduction, work, career, finances, creativity, self-esteem, sexuality, relationships and emotions.”
Julie points out that one way to deal with any of these issues in your chakras is to use the crystal’s energy healing, “which may need just a few sessions.”
How To Use Crystals for Fertility
Before use, it’s important to cleanse the crystal of any negative energy that it may have been picked up on its travels.
Restore it to its natural energy state by washing it in water, burying it in brown rice, or exposing it to moonlight.
Once ready to use, a popular way to make use of your chosen fertility crystal is to wear it as jewelry so it’s close to your body.
You can also bathe with your crystals, place them under your pillow or on your nightstand, or hold it during meditation.
