Crystals, a solid material, are popular in Feng Shui as they can help improve the energy of a home or office.
These precious stones are not only eye-catching or used as decorative pieces; it is believed that they have specific functions to draw positive energy to remedy various problems at home or in the workplace.
As a general rule of thumb, when you first buy a crystal, it is better that you have it cleaned first instead of using it as it is. You can do this by using pure or salt water to cleanse it to allow the item to adapt to a new environment and owner. If you are using it regularly, keep it clean always, so it can function well.
Crystals should be kept in a place that has good energy. This includes the dining or living rooms. Better still, if you have a library or small office at home, keep it in the bookshelves.
Feng Shui crystals are used for a variety of purposes. According to Feng Shui expert Rodika Tchi, who also writes for thespruce.com, to strengthen love and relationship, it is recommended that two rose quartz should be placed in the southwest Feng Shui area of the home.
A full bowl of these “love” gems could also be placed in the bedroom to repair the relationship among couples, she said.
Hematite, mined as the main ore of iron, is commonly used for protection and centering energy, thus it might also help with a kid who lacks focus and easily gets excited.
Rodika suggested that several pieces of these crystals should be placed in the east area of the home or in their bedrooms.
Black tourmaline and obsidian are also known to possess protective qualities and can be placed near the main door of the house, or put them in the flower pots.
Another valuable gem is blue kyanite, a high vibration crystal that has a very powerful energy conductor which can help relax the body and mind.
There are other crystals and stones that have different properties and can improve your energy, health and wealth. They can also help clear negative energy and cut off bad luck.
