Before we get into what are the best crystals for the home, let's talk about why you would want to add crystals to a home.

First, we need to talk about entropy. Entropy is describing a state of disorder of a system, not just people, any system. The greater the disorder, the higher amount of entropy, and the more ordered the system, the lower the entropy.

Most systems within the physical universe tend toward ever-increasing entropy over time. We have all these things.

Humans are susceptible to entropy. We have multiple different vibrations going on in our system, they can be whacked out very easily and entropy refers to disorder.

Our bodies run better when they're a finely tuned machine, but we all know that it doesn't take much to throw us off-kilter and it could be that something happened during our day, someone said something to make us upset.

Now, let's talk about the environmental energy within a home that affects people - electromagnetic frequencies. These frequencies are invisible to us and they're associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting.

You can have natural electric fields that will build up. That'll happen during a thunderstorm, but the EMF that builds up without the help of nature would be found in power lines, radios, MP3 players if people even have those anymore, Wi-Fi, cellphones, microwave ovens, overhead fluorescent lighting, televisions, computers, just naming a few of them here. So it's important to understand that these are energy fields that people are also exposed to.

EMF, it disrupts organic energy frequencies within our bodies and is hazardous to our health, and it can affect your nervous system, your endocrine system, your immune system, and it affects your cellular structure. 

You might want to start looking at 5G now that might be something you're interested in seeing if that would be something you'd like to address within your holistic design services because that's going to become another part of the EMF that people will become more and more concerned about as more information comes out about it.

It could be that we've been hanging out in front of the computer for too long, all sorts of different things can lower our frequency and then also make it so that we're more susceptible to getting sick.

The symptoms that you're being affected by EMF or you have electromagnetic sensitivity would include dizziness, waking up tired, difficulty concentrating, feeling drained, anxiety, headaches, forgetfulness, sensitivity to light, noise, feeling overstimulated, clumsiness. With the understanding that energy is all around us, you have to understand that we have this, but we have other things that are also affecting us.

All this is to say that there are many factors at play that can throw us out of balance. Through different modalities a holistic interior design, they are there with the goal of helping to facilitate helping to bring the person back into balance. Again even when you have holistic interior design solutions in place, this is not to say that that is just a cure-all a fix-all.

You're also dealing with a person and their mind. If they're not open to working on themselves, you cannot do anything about that, but you are able to provide them an environment and a space to help them to achieve a state of balance.

Why Crystals For The Home?

Crystals have a consistent frequency. It is very hard to knock them off of their vibration, their dominant oscillatory rate. It happens, but not as often or as easily as it can happen to us.

When we bring the crystal into our electromagnetic field, two things occur. The frequency emitted by the stone makes our body want to get into resonance with that crystal's vibration. And the nervous system's attuned to these shifts in the energy and it transmits this information to our brains. So this is where the frequencies stimulate biochemical shifts that affect our physical body.

So it's all about the stable energy coming off of a crystal and here we humans are, we're anything but consistent energy.

By bringing this crystal into our energy field, we are going to go into sync with their stable energy field, into a state called resonance.

Resonance describes when a vibrating system or force, drives another system to oscillate with greater amplitude at a specific preferential frequency or resonant frequency. You can go look online on YouTube and you can find videos where somebody can hit one tuning fork and there could be another tuning fork nearby and it will start vibrating to get into resonance with the first tuning fork that was hit.

If you're hanging out with Debbie downer and she's just a negative person, telling you about everything that's wrong with the world, she's going to tend to bring you down too. It is the same idea here, we're seeking to raise our vibration by finding resonance with the crystal’s stable energy.

When two objects are sharing the resonant frequency, are placed next to each other, their vibratory frequencies will increase. So in effect, crystals serve as a powerful vibrational conductor and amplifier. So if a human isn't able to rebalance themselves by taking time off or going to a beach or through meditation, then introducing the stable frequency is a helpful way to bring the person back into alignment.

The Best Crystals For The Home

There's one thing that I want to tell you before I share with you before I give you some crystals to check out for the home, know that a person's specific situation may dictate that there are better crystals to select for the home.

In order to know exactly which crystals are needed for the home, you need to check in with your clients. By asking them questions of what your clients are struggling with and what they would like to achieve in their life is the best way to uncover the energy imbalances. I have a few different ways for you to uncover that in my course Design That Aligns if you'd like to get those and learn more about crystal healing for a home.

Quartz

Clear Quartz is a crystal that amplifies, magnifies, it is great for clearing and purifying. It is just a workhorse type crystal, it just does all sorts of good stuff. The one caution I will give you about quartz, do not place quartz in front of computers, next to computers, in front of your wifi, or in front of your microwave.

You do not want to put it in front of devices that are essentially giving off some type of electromagnetic pollution because quartz will amplify the EMF so you don't need to give more power to the bad stuff that's coming off your computers.

Black Tourmaline

Also known as schorl, black tourmaline a stone of protection and gets it's black color from the large amounts of iron. And this is great for grounding, it's also good for protection. You also may want to put this around your equipment, like your computers, your routers, your wifi devices, your hard drives, all of that stuff. Black crystals in general are great for helping to block you from the EMF pollution out there.

Fluorite

Fluorite is found in many different colors, sometimes you'll get almost every color of the rainbow in fluorite. It is also known as a psychic vacuum cleaner. So it can work in aiding an area of confusion and cluttered thoughts and negativity. So in terms of the specific colors for fluorite, purple is for purification, green cleanses and heals the heart chakra, blue's for clear communication, and then multicolored is good as just an overall general energy cleanser.

Shungite

Shungite was used as lining of the Roman aqueducts. It is carbon, it works to cleanse and align the body, prepare it for energy healing. Shungite also has an antibacterial property and it has been used for centuries as you know, for water purification. It is also effective in protecting against electromagnetic smog and other bad frequencies. 

Black crystals in general are great for helping to block you from the EMF pollution out there.

Selenite

Selenite is a fibrous form of gypsum. It's very, very soft. It is sensitive to water and it can be easily scratched. It is a stone for purification and clearing away negative energy. It's wonderful at moving energy and clearing energy off of yourself. So it is great anytime you want to cleanse your own auric field or just cleanse an area.

Smoky Quartz

Smoky Quartz has been naturally radiated by the earth and so it's one of the best stones for grounding and it enhances practicality and organization.

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is the most valued of the quartz family because it is pink and it gets it's pink from the manganese and it's a stone for love. Love for yourself and love for others.

Remember though that it is important to figure out what issue you're trying to address for your clients because you may find that your client has specific struggles that can be better helped by different crystals.

And you'll want to also make sure you've chosen the right size and shape of crystals. When it comes to the size of a room, the size of the crystal matters to make effective work in a home. As for crystal shapes, the shapes of crystals have different purposes that you'll also want to be aware of.

You may also choose crystals based upon colors if you're looking to introduce a method of chromatherapy. Which I also talk about in Design That Aligns.

Using Crystals In The Home

Placing the crystals in a home doesn't have to be a rigid practice. It's important to follow your gut and tune into your intuition. Don't just do something because it's the way I do it or someone else tells you to do it. You can make your own rules.

Generally here are the top 3 ways to use crystals in the home.

Gridding The Home

When you grid a home or room on you are adding a layer of protection. Think about it as if it's a geometrical arrangement of crystals like an energetic net, where you're creating an energetically cleansed and balanced space, with the intention to achieve a certain objective. 

Chakra Healing

When we're talking about crystal healing in the home, we also could be talking about representing the chakras throughout the home and in specific spots in the home. Each chakra can be tied to specific areas within a home where you can place crystals. And if you want to help an individual with specific chakra balancing, then you will add the stones that correlate it to a specific chakra.

EMF Protection

Place crystals in front of your computer that you work at or whether it goes in front of your microwave or even your router - in front of all of them, even better! And don't forget you can also protect yourself from some of the EMF coming off of your phone (the computer in your pocket) by placing a Shungite phone tab on the back of the phone.

But before you're placing crystals in a home or room you want to clear out the clutter and then set an intention for the crystal. You should ask your client to set the intention as they are living in the home.

Choosing crystals for the home can be for aesthetic reasons for deep spiritual healing. Knowing the purpose, learning about how to incorporate the various methods, and how that will help your clients will help you set your holistic interior design practice apart from others.
