If you wanted to make a simple, almost cartoon-like visual for how it feels when your spirit is carrying a lot of negative energy, it would definitely be a dark gray rain cloud over your head, relentlessly stalking you everywhere you go! Luckily, this rain cloud’s got a silver lining. With crystals for energy protection, you can cleanse and shield your energy from gathering heavy, limiting, harsh, harmful, or just overall unwanted vibes. Having the right crystals for protection is an essential tool to have, because negative energy can attach to us in a lot of ways. Sometimes it happens when we’re in crowds and surrounded by other people’s energy; sometimes it happens from long days at work or disputes with relatives or even strangers at the grocery store or while stuck in frustrating traffic. No matter how your positive energy gets depleted, it’s important to fill it back up and protect it. The first step to doing that is knowing which of the best crystals good for protection to pick and how to use them.

How to Use Crystals for Protection

How to Use Protection Stones:

There are several ways you can bolster your emotional strength with protection stones. Healing crystals for protection can be worn, used to create grids, kept on sacred altars, or worked with in meditation. It just depends on your intended function for the crystal.

CUTTING CORDS

When someone we care for shares with us that they are going through a difficult time, it’s not uncommon for us to feel the weight of their experience in our own energy field. This creates an energy attachment. In order to continue being a strong source of support and positive energy for this person, you have cut your energy attachment with them. This keeps you from getting drained, and allows you to be completely there for them when they need you. To cut energy cords, take a piece of Black Kyanite and hold it in your hand as you trace an invisible line around your body, moving the crystal over the front, sides and back of your body. Visualize the cord attached to you, and see yourself cutting through it with the Kyanite. You can add an intention to this practice, stating aloud something like: I release this energy and send it back to [insert name] with love and light. I am cleansed.

WEARING A STONE FOR PROTECTION

Wearing protection amulets goes back thousands of years. Today, we can wear protection stones as a way to remind ourselves to check in with and give importance to our energy. Sometimes when we’re at work, or surrounded by other people, we feel the need to cater to other people at the expense of our own energetic needs. A protection necklace or bracelet allows you to keep a protective shield around you all day.

If you are beginning to feel someone else’s bad energy getting to you, step away from them to find a peaceful area, and reconnect with them by touching your stone for protection with your hands. The most important thing to do before wearing your protection stones is to give them a job. To do this, cleanse them with the smoke of sage, hold them in your hands, and set an intention for your work with the stone. You can set an intention by stating aloud an affirmation, such as: I call forth divine protection.

CREATING A PROTECTION GRID FOR THE HOME

You can create a protection grid for the home easily with crystals for protection. Put four pieces of black tourmaline by each corner of the room, or around the exterior corners of your home to set up a protective shield. Placing a piece of black tourmaline in a bowl of water and salt by the door also helps to keep you from bringing outside negativity into the home.

If you want to expand to other crystals for front door protection, Selenite and Black Obsidian are excellent choices. Selenite surrounds your home with a dazzling white light of higher frequencies and Obsidian, along with Black Tourmaline, act like energetic bodyguards, shielding your front door and therefore the rest of your home from harmful, low-frequency   

MEDITATING WITH HEALING CRYSTALS FOR PROTECTION

Meditating with crystals is a great way to fill your body and spirit with the restorative properties of protection crystals. Start by finding a place in your home that’s quiet and brings you peace. You can hold whatever protection crystals make you feel most secure. You can also create a body grid to deepen the grounding of your meditative state.

MAKE A CRYSTAL BODY GRID WITH PROTECTION STONES

We recommend using a combination of black tourmaline, selenite and black onyx in your body grid. Lay flat on the floor, and place the piece of black onyx by your feet, allowing it to connect to your root chakra. Then set a small chunk of black tourmaline on your throat, allowing it to cleanse any tension caused by blocked energy you’re holding there. Set a rainbow obsidian over your heart, so that it can send loving, purifying vibrations to your heart chakra. And hold a piece of selenite in each hand.

As you work with crystals for protection, you’ll begin to feel more grounded and emotionally durable. That’s the true power of these stones. Even when people do try to push their own negativity onto you, your shift into a higher perspective will keep those vibes from affecting your joy. That’s why it’s important to not only use crystals for protection when you're feeling vulnerable, but also as a preventative measure to lend yourself strength before you leave the home.

PROTECTING YOUR HOME OR OFFICE 

Gossipy coworkers, difficult-to-please bosses, or even a workplace that’s constantly filled with the various and sundry energies of the countless customers and clients that come in and out: all of these factors and more make it almost a requirement that you create intentions of peace, serenity and tranquility by placing gemstones for protection at work. Adding protection stones to your office, store, or studio is like having an extra team of security guards that work round the clock to shield, deflect and defend the energy of the space and all those who work within it. Who wouldn’t want to have beefed-up security at work?! When your mind and spirit are at ease, you are free to ideate, innovate and create more freely and with an easier flow. Because we spend so much time at our workplaces, it can often feel like a second home, and everyone deserves to feel safe at home. 

The most powerful crystals for front door protection: 

BLACK TOURMALINE 

Black Tourmaline protects you and your space from negative and unwanted energy. Consider these scenarios: have you ever felt like someone’s bad mood was contagious, possibly oozing into your own energy body or affecting the energy of the entire space you’re both in? Or perhaps you’ve walked into a room and felt the lingering effects of a fight that took place earlier in the day? What you’re feeling are leftover vibrations from negative energies! We’re all susceptible to getting entangled in these lower frequencies, but Black Tourmaline is kind of like armor, helping you create an energetic force field around yourself and prevent these bad vibes from leaving their downer-style impressions on you.

A SIMPLE CRYSTAL PRACTICE FOR PROTECTING YOUR HOME OR OFFICE 

For your workplace and your home, we recommend using a combination of Black Kyanite, Black Tourmaline, Selenite and Tourmalinated Quartz in your crystal practice. First, hold your crystals in both hands and say out loud, “I am protected and so are my living spaces and work spaces” three times. Next, Place your Black Tourmaline outside your home or workplace on either side of any entryway to protect the frequency within. Then, place your Black Kyanite, Selenite, and Tourmalinated Quartz on the windowsill of any room in which you feel you need extra energetic protection. Finally, cleanse your crystals weekly to remove any energy they’ve absorbed, allowing them to function at their highest capacity again. Lastly, put them back in place.

WHY YOU NEED CRYSTALS FOR PROTECTION

Once we have made sure to stay as safe and protected as possible through other means, like staying alert and vigilant or getting into dangerous situations, we still need and deserve protection that goes further, and that's what crystals can provide. Crystals for protection help with forces one cannot see, creating a more complete, more well-rounded energetic shield around you, your living spaces, and the people in your life. Getting the peace of mind and security that you have done all that you can to provide protection is worth its weight in gold, because when you’re feeling secure, shielded and protected, you can approach  your life with a sense of security and confidence and not fear, timidity, and insecurity. 

WHAT IS BLACK TOURMALINE?

Tourmaline is a typically black or blackish mineral that occurs as prismatic crystals in granites and other rocks. It consists of a boron aluminosilicate and has pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties. Even though Tourmaline has been around since Medieval times, it wasn’t until the late 1800s, when mineralogist George Kunz sold Tourmaline to Tiffany & Co., that it gained widespread popularity. 

Before it made a name for itself in popular culture, the power of Black Tourmaline was known only to those who worked with it. Many shamans of African, Aboriginal, and Native American tribes carried Tourmaline to protect themselves from danger. 

In the 18th century, Dutch traders discovered another unique attribute of Black Tourmaline. Rubbing Black Tourmaline quickly causes the stone to become electrically charged—with a positive charge on one end of the stone and negative charge on the other end. After making this discovery, the traders used the positively charged Black Tourmaline to collect the dust from their Meerschaum pipes. 

WHAT IS SELENITE? 

Selenite forms in enormous crystals the size of telephone poles or redwood trees. Also known as satin spar gypsum, Selenite has shed a light on the origins of life on Earth. Prior to 2004, gypsum was only thought to exist on the planet Earth. However, it was confirmed to also be found on Mars in 2004, which hints at the presence of water on Mars, and thus the possibility of life. In mythology, Selenite was associated with Selene, the Greek goddess of the Moon. This is also where this crystal gets its name. Origin & Regionality Selenite is found in Mexico, Morocco, the United States and many other places around the globe.

WHAT IS BLACK OBSIDIAN? 

The Obsidian stone meaning can be traced back to Paleolithic times where it was used to make arrowheads and other tools. During prehistoric times, the Obsidian meaning and uses weren't just a stylish way to accessorize a loincloth – this warrior stone also protected our ancestors from marauding invaders and the perils of hunting. Cherished for its deep, glossy sheen, Obsidian crystal meaning is often called volcanic glass because it is formed from molten lava that has cooled very quickly. Many cultures have used Obsidian rock as the spiritual ally to call on for stargazing and making prophecies. 

Obsidian is found in Europe, Japan, Mexico, South America, the United States, and many other places.

WHAT MAKES A CRYSTAL PROTECTIVE? 

Looking for crystals for negative energy? A general rule you can follow is that black crystals contain the most protective energies because they help absorb and transmute negative energy. The Black Tourmaline crystal stone meaning is connected to its deep pitch-black color. Because of its dark coloration, this stone has a strong energy and an ability to absorb negative energy without compromising its own energy. Because it can absorb negativity, it can both protect and cleanse you and your environment. The versatility of this stone makes it a must-have for everyone. 

Transmuting basically means these protective black crystals are absorbing negative energy and turning them into positive energy. Think of it as similar to how a tree takes in carbon dioxide and converts it into oxygen! Powerful black crystals that have been used for centuries, are an important tool in an entire energetic toolbox for wellbeing.

TOP 3 GIFTS FOR HOME PROTECTION  

Know someone who just moved into a new home, apartment, even dorm? While it’s one of the most exciting times of transition in anyone’s life, it can also feel a bit trepidatious or panic-inducing, simply because of the sheer level of unknown energy that inhabited the space before! There are also times when, even though we aren’t sure who lived in the home, apartment or dorm before us, we can still sense a lingering energetic presence and we likely want to clear the space of this presence as soon as possible. 

Several of the same crystals that we can use to protect ourselves, our vehicles, workspaces, and even bodies as jewelry will make a great home protection gift. 

Besides giving your loved ones good crystals for protection, you can also gift them energy tools to tackle the vibrations of a space on a different frequency: through smoke, scent, sound and more. 

Burning sage is a quick and effective method for dusting off old energy that may have settled in a living space. If your loved one’s new home, apartment or dorm feels heavy, stagnant or dirty even though it's clean, they would probably benefit greatly from an energy cleanse. It doesn't mean that you have bad energy, it just means that your space could use a spiritual refresh. The top-selling Sage Cleansing Set features 3 must-have products that’ll help clear stuck, stagnant, dense, heavy or otherwise unwanted energy from new spaces that your loved ones will appreciate. Their new lives in their new spaces will begin from a much brighter, cleansed, and high-frequency place rather than combating stuck energy that may influence their own energy in negative ways. 

Everyone who walks into one’s space brings their energy with them, and because we can't ask people to leave their negative vibes at the door, that energy gets in. Also, any kind of high-energy exertions (like arguments, exercise or work) that occur in our living spaces will leave behind energy that will begin to clog the circulation of fresh energy. That's why we always suggest giving your loved ones the gift of regular saging so they can keep their spaces total high-vibe havens.

Another easy gift to give for home protection is the Clearing Crystal Candle: armored with super powerfully protective Black Tourmaline, plus the soothing aromatherapeutic effects of sage and lavender, this candle helps protect the energy of one’s home with a Protection Candle from Energy Muse. Made with Black Tourmaline crystals, sage, and lavender, this healing, one-of-a-kind candle burns away negative energy and leaves only good vibes behind.

Although not typically thought of for protection, lavender is both calming and protective. The scent from this flower is known to clear negative energy away. A popular herb for energy clearing, white sage has been used for hundreds of years to remove negative energy from a room. By burning white sage through this candle, the Black Tourmaline candle from Energy Muse has a similar effect to saging your home with a sage stick.

The Black Tourmaline crystals within these positive energy candles provide the ultimate form of protection by absorbing negativity and shielding your space from unwanted energy. Once the candle has burned down, you can even use the crystals in your home for added protection.

Another powerful crystal gift for home protection is a set of Shungite cubes. Shungite cubes are the epitome of stabilizing energy. Not only is the shungite stone itself a balancing force, but when cut into the shape of a perfectly symmetrical cube, it takes on a whole new level of grounding. Though these Shungite cubes make a great housewarming gift, their true power lies in extended use:  they work so well to ground the energy of one’s home continuously, especially from accumulated energy and electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) we bring in ourselves. When there’s a lot of this accumulated energy, we let our mind get weighed down by stress, anxiety and negative thoughts and we may start to feel unbalanced and top-heavy; almost like we can't quite gain a stable mental footing. Shungite cleanses the space plus one’s mind and body of all negative influences so that you can establish peace of mind, body and spirit. Shungite absorbs negative energy, removing it from your space and ensuring that your environment remains clear and cleansed, making it an excellent crystal gift for home protection. This set of 4 Shungite cubes also helps to replace stress and negative emotions with positive energy, while at the same time keeping you grounded and protected.

THE BEST CRYSTALS FOR MERCURY RETROGRADE

Mercury Retrograde is a three-week period in which the planet Mercury appears to be traveling backwards, or retrograde. This time period is notorious for challenges and disruption, especially when it comes to communication, technology, and travel. To keep your energy high vibe and prevent yourself from getting swept up in the potential chaos, the best crystals for Mercury Retrograde will be the only tools you need to navigate the period as the highest version of yourself. Labradorite helps you understand and discover the underlying lessons that Mercury Retrograde brings up. It also helps with emotional stability and grounding during a usually very topsy-turvy time. 

Unsurprisingly, Black Tourmaline is a top crystal to work with during Mercury Retrograde. It’s perhaps the most powerful protective stone, and during this time period it will assist in letting  go of fear, anxiety and chaotic energy. Think of it like an anchor that also surrounds you in a bubble of protection so that you’re safe and sound from the chaos of Mercury Retrograde. 

Hematite is another powerful grounding crystal that pulls negative energy from the body. Meditating with Hematite and placing it directly on your body is a wonderful way to upkeep your peace - not only during Mercury Retrograde but always - via meditation or conducting silent breathing practices. 

Amazonite offers calm and soothing energies which is especially beneficial during this time of anxiety and stress. Another major attribute of Amazonite is that it’s all about fun and going with the flow. This kind of playful flexibility is imperative, because Mercury Retrograde is known to be a bit of a trickster and loves to throw wrenches into plans big and small. If you aren’t too tied to the result, you’re more able to be resilient, understanding and compassionate when your plans fall through, miscommunications happen, tech stops working, and anything else that infamously occurs more often during Mercury Retrograde.

Working with many different kinds of crystals, not just the “big guns” like Black Tourmaline, Black Obsidian and Black Kyanite but also diversifying into Amethyst, Pyrite, Lapis Lazuli and more.
