Feng Shui is an ancient practice that spans thousands of years. It is rooted in the Taoist belief that all land and objects are alive with life-force energy, often called prana or ki (pronounced “chee”). In modern contexts, Feng Shui is closely associated with arranging objects in ways that can influence your life for better or worse.
For instance, do you often feel irritable, snappy, or melancholic when you return home from work? Do you experience anxiety or depression without a clear cause? Does misfortune seem to keep occurring with no explanation? The source might not be external—there could simply be an excess of negative energy in your home that attracts misfortune and dampens your mood. Perhaps you just need to incorporate a little Feng Shui into your life!
Feng Shui involves rearranging the objects in your home to encourage positive energy and designating specific areas for concepts like “wisdom,” “love,” “peace,” and other positive qualities that can bring good fortune. If you want to amplify this effect and attract even more positive, happy energy into your life and home, the best approach is to enlist the help of crystals.
How Crystals Can Enhance Feng Shui
Crystals are tiny vessels filled with remarkable energy. Their purpose is to assist us—so they are always pleased when you ask for their help! In Feng Shui, crystals can be especially potent because each has its own unique energy that can enhance the type of energy you wish to create in your space.
Consider rose quartz.
This lovely pink crystal is known for attracting love and romance, as well as for healing from past hurts and relationships that left scars. Suppose you have turned a part of your bedroom into an area dedicated to ‘love.’ Placing a cluster of rose quartz tumble stones on your desk, a large rose quartz crystal near your bedroom door, or hanging rose quartz bracelets above your mirror can help amplify the energies of this area that you have already blessed as ‘love.’
So, when you feel lonely, particularly down about a relationship, or wistful about not having one, go to this corner of your room and surround yourself with the loving energy that rose quartz amplifies.
Rose quartz is also especially beneficial for self-love. If you have been hard on yourself about something or are lacking in self-esteem or confidence, sitting quietly in this area among the crystals and loving energy is a good way to boost your own self-love.
Another excellent crystal for Feng Shui is black tourmaline.
Tourmaline is a powerful crystal and not one that everyone can wear because of its intensity. It is most famous for warding off negative energy and protecting the user from malevolent forces. Therefore, black tourmaline is very useful for the space you call ‘protection,’ as it repels negative energies—whether unconsciously sent from another person toward you or picked up while out in public. Black tourmaline also has the special ability to transform negative energy into positive.
Similarly, choose crystals with special properties designed to enhance the energies of your particular space.
- For areas dedicated to ‘wealth and prosperity,’ try tiger’s eye and pyrite.
- For areas of ‘peace,’ try amethyst and fluorite.
- For areas of ‘strength,’ try aventurine and clear quartz.
Decorate these areas with the crystals in any way you like and in whatever way feels and looks best to you.
Ultimately, you should have a Feng Shui environment that creates peace, prosperity, happiness, and good fortune all at once—with the help of some wonderful crystals!
Tip: Place a piece of selenite in every area. Selenite is excellent for cleansing other crystals and does not need to be cleansed itself (though for optimal power, it is a good idea to place it under the Full Moon for Moon cleansing or to pass a bit of incense through it). The selenite crystal can help keep other crystals fresh and revitalized!
Final Thoughts
Turning your environment into a place of Feng Shui is beneficial in every possible way. Not only can it attract positive energy and good fortune into your life, but it can also help you combat anxiety, stress, depression, and other negative attributes that can send you into a negative spiral—such as exacerbating a poor diet or lack of exercise, both of which are also essential to well-being.
The crystals are there to offer assistance to you, to help you create a wonderful Feng Shui atmosphere all around you, and to provide you with a safe haven that can help shield and guard you against the storms of the world.
