Feng Shui and Crystals: How and Why to Use Stones and Crystals

Feng Shui can indicate solutions and changes in the internal spaces of a home or office through decoration, the inclusion and/or exclusion of objects and images, the realignment of furniture circulation and arrangement, the choice of colors and plants. But Feng Shui also recommends and advises on the use of crystals and stones.

Because they were generated by the Earth, crystals and stones are very powerful for the energy they carry inside. They contain and emanate all this vibration, helping to elevate, purify, renew, protect and transmute different types of energies in environments, improving chi (vital energy).

Next, we will see a little more about the benefits and how to use Feng Shui stones and crystals, among them, the famous multifaceted crystal.

Crystal in Feng Shui: meanings

In Brazil and in the West, the Black Hat school of Feng Shui (also called the Californian or American School), created by master Lin Yun, is one of the best known. Its main feature is the use of the Baguá (octagonal map) which is positioned on the floor plan of the property.

From the entrance door of the place, the eight areas of life (the guás) are located: work, wisdom, family, prosperity, success, relationships, creativity and friends, in addition to the center that symbolizes health and balance.

Crystals and stones can transmit the intentions of the residents, who can activate corners and rooms of the house and the Baguá guás, and can be used as a cure for certain situations and as activators and stimulants of energies.

The analysis of a property through Feng Shui consultancy aims to improve the vital energy (chi) in the environments and bring benefits to those who live in the place.

The professional identifies stagnant or accelerated energy flows in the property and applies techniques, solutions and cures that will strengthen the chi of the environment and its occupants, according to their needs and according to the areas of the Baguá guás.

For the activation of Feng Shui cures and solutions, there are many different methods, which depend a lot on the consultancy and on each house, but one of the most common is the use of crystals and stones, which have great power to protect the environment and transform energies.

Multifaceted Crystal in Feng Shui

Healing object capable of transmuting and balancing the energies of the environments, the multifaceted crystal in Feng Shui has gained popularity in recent years and has been widely used to harmonize homes.

The multifaceted cut makes it a self-cleaning and energized crystal. It reproduces the colors of the rainbow and serves to improve, conduct, expand, correct or activate the chi (vital energy) of the environments.

How to use the multifaceted crystal in Feng Shui:

The multifaceted crystal must be in the form of a sphere (ball) with a minimum circumference of 4cm. When hanging the crystal from the ceiling, window, porch or doorframe, the thread should preferably be red, as it is a protective color. The wire must be resistant and measure 9cm, 18cm, 27cm or 36cm. The centimeters of the thread in multiples of nine help in the conclusion and realization of dreams, as the number 9 contains this symbology. There are many places where it can be hung, varying the meaning. For example, you can use the crystal in the center of the ceiling of a room, especially in bedrooms to stimulate balance and physical and mental health of the environment and, consequently, of the people who use it.
Near windows or balcony doorsthe crystal brings luck, good energy, creativity and the joy of reflecting the light of the rainbow prism.

Feng Shui care with crystals

Choosing a crystal can be more intuitive, through the perception and attraction of the energy that the crystal emanates. In Feng Shui, there may be an association with the color of each gua in the Baguá, combined with the meaning of each crystal and stone. It’s important to feel the energy of the crystal and connect with it and your home.

It can also be chosen according to the function of the rooms and for specific uses, such as cleaning environments, protection, softening electromagnetic energy waves, among others.

It’s important to feel the energy of the crystal and connect with it and your home.

Below are some important tips when making your choices about crystal and Feng Shui:

Do not use too many crystals and stones at the same time., as the energies can mix and you will not be able to connect with all of them. In this way, intentions will not have the desired effects.
The recommendation is to use a maximum of three crystals and stones. For example, on a work table you can have: an Amethyst, which faces the person, helping them to connect with them and working on wisdom, lucidity and serenity; a Pyrite on top of business cards, which helps bring more prosperity, and a Black Tourmaline near the computer, which softens the electromagnetic frequencies of the device. Crystals and stones at home, in the workplace, in your purse, on your desk or in your drawer need care and the same worry about mess, that is, keep them in order, organized and clean. Furthermore, avoid leaving crystals in inappropriate places, such as on top of or near electronic devices such as a TV, fridge, freezer, computer, appliances and speakers. After all, the direct contact of stones and crystals with electronics charges them negatively very quickly. With the exception of stones and crystals that are in that position to stay close to electronics and soften electromagnetic frequencies, like black tourmaline. When placing the crystal in the environment, read the meaning of the crystal and the area to be activated and make positive phrases or a mindset so that your Feng Shui intentions and energies vibrate with the crystal placed in your home.

cleaning the crystals

Both physical and energetic cleansing is very important. Whenever you buy a crystal in a store, clean it.

It is important to repeat the process of cleaning and energizing the crystals and stones from time to time. You can choose once a month, once every three months or follow your intuition and clean up when you feel it is necessary.

If you don’t want to repeat the entire cleaning process every time, have a selenite stick between the stones or a piece of raw gypsum selenite so you can place the crystal on it for a few hours.
