Dorothy said it best when she clicked her ruby red slippers together, and repeated, “There’s no place like home.” Adventures with new friends to unexplored places are fun, but when you’ve been away for too long, you’re tired, and some crazy lady keeps trying to take your shoes, there really is no paradise quite as appealing as your humble abode. That’s why when we think about home, we think less about the things in it, and more about the feeling it gives us. With such a focus on how a home looks, it’s easy to forget about designing for how a home feels. Many people may not even realize that this is a factor they can change—this is where healing crystals for your home come into play.
The energy of your home can shift over time. If you have ever been in a space that was completely clean and well lit, but somehow just felt heavy, or uncomfortable, then you can understand how a home’s energy is dictated by more than mere cleanliness. It has a lot to do with the energy that has been expelled in a space, and not cleared away. Arguments, breakups, stress, exercise, parties, deaths, grief—all aspects of life that leave behind energy in your home. If you’re not smudging or getting rid of negative vibes with high vibe crystals for your home, your space will start to feel dirty even when its clean. Not to mention, by not having the right kinds of crystals in your home, you’re not taking premeditative steps against the kinds of stress and miscommunications that start arguments in the first place.
In matching the crystal to the room, you can amplify the energies you need most in that particular space. When you start assigning your crystals their jobs around the house, the living room becomes full of life, the bedroom beams with love and relaxation, and the whole space takes on a protective aura. So with that in mind, what crystals for your home are the best to not only cleanse bad vibes, but lift them up to create a high-vibe crystal heaven?!
7 High-Vibe Crystals for Your Home

First things, first. Protection. If you felt triggered by the above reference to the homes with bad energy, don’t fret. We can fix that.

Shungite
The mere number of Shungite benefits is enormous, but one of our favorites right now is the EMF protection it offers. Since we are all attached to our cellphones, iPads, laptops and other electronics, placing shungite crystals next to your electronics can soften the blow. Its intense energy leaves you feeling balanced and in a neutral state.
5 Ways to Use Crystals in Your Home
1. Black Tourmaline by the Front Door
Your door is where energy most frequently enters your space. Instead of dragging outside energy into the home with you, set up an energy protection shield. Place a piece of black tourmaline by the front door of your home in a bowl filled half with salt and half with water. Connecting with this when you come home helps you to disconnect with any negative energy you’ve collected before bringing it into your space. For this reason, placing a black tourmaline at every entrance is like an energy alarm system—it scares away the bad vibes!
2. Ground Yourself with a Shungite Grid
If you notice a flurry of chaotic energy occurring within the home, try placing a shungite cube in each corner of the space where you spend the most time together. Shungite absorbs negative energy, and balances the energy of the space. This can have a stabilizing effect whenever you feel the energy within your home has gone out of whack.
3. Bring in the Light with Selenite and Citrine
Place a selenite crystal on the window sill to fill any room with positivity. The sun reflecting off your selenite will cast bright energy into your space. Additionally, set a citrine point next to the selenite for amplified frequencies of joy.
4. Celestite on the Nightstand
To dive right into a restful night’s sleep, you’ll want to have a celestite nearby. Setting it on your nightstand allows the stone to better connect with your crown chakras. Infusing it’s gentle, anxiety soothing energy with your crown chakra, it eases any worries that are keeping your mind awake.
5. Rose Quartz and Amethyst in the Love Corner
If you want to usher in the energy of love, pair a rose quartz with an amethyst, and set them in the southwest section of your bedroom. In Feng shui, this is the corner that is believed to be your love quadrant. These stones will bring in the properties of compassion, understanding, patience and desire. Who couldn’t use a little more of that?
Before You Bring Crystals for Your Home in, Remember to Cleanse and Uplift
Remember, if you haven’t cleansed your space, placing crystals within your home is only going to enhance the stagnant energy that’s already settled in. So when bringing in crystals to create your high-vibing home, remember to do a thorough cleanse first.
Burning sage is our go-to method for how to remove negative energy from your home. All you’ll need for a thorough cleanse is a stick of sage, a fireproof container to catch the ashes, and a lighter or match. Light your sage and set it in the fireproof container. Set your cleansing intention for the sage by stating aloud or in your head: I ask that the spirit of sage assist me in purifying and cleansing my space, spirit and crystals. Then move clockwise around your home and waft the smoke into the various areas of your space. Don’t forget to send the healing smoke into those often overlooked spots like hallways, doorways, window sills, corners and closets.
Then to really take things up a notch, follow up your sage cleansing by burning sweetgrass. It’s sort of a one-two punch for purifying and uplifting the energy of your home. Sweetgrass is known for immersing positive energy. Set your intention to elevate the positive energy within your home by stating aloud or in your head: I ask that the spirit of sweetgrass remove any remaining stagnant energy, bless my spirit and space with loving positivity. Then simply follow the same steps as you did when burning your sage!
