Some claim that by
channelling this alleged universal power through the art of manifestation,
nearly anything is possible. There are even specific strategies, such as the
use of crystals, that may aid in the process.
While there is no
scientific evidence to back this up, there are many believers. Continue reading
to find out what proponents of using crystals to manifest the life you want
have to say.
Simply put, it is the process of manifesting your desires
through the law of attraction.
"The basic, most widely accepted premise of the law of
attraction is that thoughts become things, and what we focus on expands into
our reality," says law of attraction coach and spiritual mentor Esther
McCann.
Manifesting is something we do subconsciously as well.
Believers believe that our expectations, thoughts, and feelings constantly manifest
our realities.
"The law of attraction can be harnessed by developing
an awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and how they affect how we
energetically show up in this world," McCann says.
According to Emma Halley, a crystal therapist and spiritual
wellness coach, the law of attraction is based on energetic principles.
"We know that everything in the universe is made of
energy at the subatomic particle level, and our thoughts have their own
vibration," she explains. "When we consider that 'like attracts
like,' the thoughts and feelings we have become part of the vibration we carry,
and thus attract."
Getting into vibrational alignment with your desires is the
essence of manifesting.
"The key to manifesting is to create a state of mind
with the same vibrational frequency as the life we want to live," Halley
says.
To match that vibrational frequency, some people use
crystals.
While the law of attraction is used by people all over the
world, it is not without its detractors.
Some dismiss it as wishful thinking, while others dismiss it
completely. So, what does science have to say?
According to some research, positive thinking can lead to a
happier life. A 2005 study of over 275,000 participants discovered that people
with "positive affect" were more likely to achieve greater levels of
success in health, work, and relationships.
A 2010 research review found that visualizing your desires
as though they have been achieved, a popular manifestation practice, improved
the likelihood of that desire becoming a reality.
Meanwhile, a 2016 study discovered that positive
visualizations could reduce anxiety and increase feelings of happiness.
Anecdotally, a
growing number of people attribute the law of attraction to assisting them in
manifesting everything from increased levels of wealth and material items to
improved health, new opportunities, and everything in between.
So, how can crystals assist you in becoming vibrationally
aligned with the things you desire?
Believers believe that there is a crystal for everything,
including attracting your soulmate, receiving more money, and improving your
health.
Crystals are said to contain powerful energies that can be
used to influence the energy around and within us. Some people believe this can
aid in the manifestation process.
"Crystals are extremely powerful little life-forces
that grow organically, just like plants, animals, and people," Halley
explains. "Piezoelectricity is the transport of an electric charge through
a crystalline structure."
Halley believes piezoelectricity, defined as electric
polarization caused by mechanical stress, has an energetic effect on the
vibration of the crystal as well as the user.
Although research on crystal healing is limited, Halley
advises keeping an open mind.
“Lots of people believe that crystal therapy is a placebo.
"I'd like to think that after 20 years in the business, I can say with
some certainty that it's much more," she says. "If it improves a
person's quality of life, why dismiss it because we don't fully explain or
understand it?"
Though current science does not support it, there is no harm
in giving crystal manifestation a try, especially if your expectations are
reasonable.
According to crystal advocates, there are numerous crystals
that can assist you in manifesting specific things in various areas of your
life.
Pyrite is thought to attract abundance and boost motivation
in business and career.
Citrine is a popular crystal for wealth and success,
nurturing creativity and inspiring money-making ideas.
Green aventurine: known as the stone of opportunity, it is
thought to attract money-making opportunities that are aligned.
Rose quartz is a popular crystal for attracting love and
increasing feelings of self-love.
Pink kunzite: improves unconditional love and loving
communication.
Rhodonite: attracts love through the healing of emotional
wounds such as heartbreak.
Obsidian: aids in the removal of blockages in the body,
increasing energy circulation and flow.
Quartz, also known as the "master healer," creates
an optimal vibrational state for healing.
Amethyst is a soothing, calming, and healing stone that can
help with stress, tension, and fear.
Celestite: According to McCann, celestite can help you
connect to the divine and remember your dreams, which can be useful for
emotional processing.
Halley: According to Halley, iron pyrite removes feelings of
inadequacy that can prevent you from achieving your goals.
Clear quartz: is thought to raise your vibration to match
your desires and can help you gain clarity on what you want.
Intention-setting, wearing crystals, placing them in your
home or surroundings, meditating with them, and using them in rituals are all
common ways to use crystals for manifesting.
Giving your crystal an intention essentially means giving it
a purpose. Write down your intention or say it aloud to accomplish this.
Halley recommends holding the crystal in your hand and
focusing on your intention as if it has already occurred.
Many people enjoy wearing crystals as jewellery or carrying
them with them throughout the day. Most popular crystals are available as
pendants, or you can carry one in your pocket for safety.
If you don't want to wear your crystals, you can use them to
decorate your home. McCann and Halley are both fans of doing so.
McCann recommends placing crystals in areas that correspond
to your goal.
"Pyrite and citrine, for example, could be placed in
the office where money is made." "Alternatively, they can be carried
in a bag or placed under a pillow at night," she explains.
Combining crystals and meditation may help you manifest more
effectively.
According to McCann, this is because meditation allows you
to quiet resistant thoughts that can prevent you from manifesting. She also
believes that meditation can assist you in receiving divine guidance on how to
proceed.
"People practicing mindful meditation can use crystals
as a focal point," she says. "What we release energetically creates
space for new manifestations to enter our experience."
Cleaning your crystals removes stagnant or unwanted energies
and should be done on a regular basis to keep them pure.
Cleanse your crystals by placing them in a bowl of salt,
running them under fresh water, using sound healing tools like singing bowls,
exposing them to sunlight or moonlight, and smudging them with incense, sage,
or palo santo.
When buying crystals, Halley advises not only to avoid
wasting money on fakes, but also to be wary of overmining.
"Crystals are mined from the earth, where they can grow
for thousands of years." "There is a limited supply," she says.
Many people believe that when combined with the law of
attraction, crystals can help us manifest our dreams and desires more quickly.
This is due to their alleged vibrational energies.
Of course, not everyone believes in crystals or the law of
attraction, and there is no scientific evidence that they work.
Some argue that this does not mean you should dismiss them.
"I like to remember that there's magic in
everything," Halley says.
Whatever your thoughts are on manifesting with crystals,
there's no harm in giving it a shot.
