Crystals are used in feng shui in a variety of ways, all with one single goal - to create good feng shui energy in your home.

The word crystal comes from the Greek word krystallos, meaning frozen light. Crystals have been used over the centuries for a myriad of purposes - from healing to protection to decoration.

In feng shui, crystals are widely used for the specific energy, or the vibrations they bring to your home or office. For example, the rose quartz crystal is used to attract love and romance, as well as heal a broken heart. Feng shui-wise, the rose quartz crystal emanates specific frequencies that promote heart healing. Black tourmaline and hematite have strong protective energies, while citrine helps heal self-esteem issues.

• If your child has trouble focusing/concentrating and tends to easily get overexcited, several pieces of hematite will help with a grounding quality of energy. You can place it either in your child's room, or in the West feng shui area of your home.



• Another feng shui use of hematite is by the front door to benefit from its protective qualities. You can place several tumbled hematites either outside or inside your front door in a visually pleasing way. For example, if you have big pots with plants on both sides of the main door, you can place the hematites on top of the soil or at the base of the plant pot.

It is best to cleanse the crystals when you first buy or receive them as a gift. Crystal cleansing resets their vibration to be receptive to the new home and the new owner. Crystals should be cleansed regularly, as well as treated in a respectful and loving manner.
