Beginning your journey with spirituality can seem like a long and daunting road. With Crystal TikTok and unsolicited advice on what to do and what to get, it’s hard to know where to start. Crystals are a great way to begin your journey with spirituality as they are meant to amplify your personal energy. Crystals vibrate at a higher, more stable frequency than other objects, which allows them to bring positive aspects into your life that you may be looking for.

If you know anything about crystals or you have been on Crystal TikTok for the past three weeks like I have, you know Quartz is an essential to every crystal collection. It is the most versatile crystal, making it the perfect start to your collection. Clear Quartz is considered to be the master healer of crystals. It can stimulate the immune system, reinstate bodily balance, and restore energy systems. Clear Quartz can also be used for finding clarity, so if you are confused about your direction or intentions, this crystal is the one for you.

This emotionally balancing and energizing crystal is meant to attract prosperity and success. It is said to raise self-esteem as well as promote creativity, motivation, and intellect. This stone is perfect to keep in your workspace, whether that be at your office or your desk at school. Overall, this crystal will energize you and everything around it, creating an abundance of positive energy around and within you.

Moonstone, as seen in “The Vampire Diaries,” is not only known as the binding element of the curse keeping Klaus from accessing his werewolf self, but is used for many more things.  Moonstone is used for emotional balance, and can help you access your femininity. Because it is connected to the moon, it brings tranquility, inner strength, and pushes away negative energies that surround you. Like Quartz, Moonstone has healing properties and can help you find your inner self and inner path.

The literal meaning of this vibrant crystal is “not intoxicated,” as it was originally said to protect its carrier from drunkenness. Even still, Amethyst encourages sobriety and provides protection against alcohol. Representing the third eye chakra, Amethyst embodies protection, peace, and tranquility. Since it is a natural tranquilizer, it is said to dissolve stress, anxiety, irritability, and balance mood swings. It also has the ability to protect against negativity and increase your intuition. 

Tiger’s Eye

Tiger’s Eye is another beautiful stone meant to bring out self-confidence and inner-strength. Connected to the strong and powerful tiger, Tiger’s Eye encourages you to be the same. It is said to bring out both sides of your inner being: predator and protector. Tiger’s Eye can help dissolve stressful situations and leave you feeling secure and brave. If you struggle with self-confidence, Tiger’s Eye will help you stand stronger and taller, bringing you out of your shell and amplifying your self-confidence.

When you’re picking out a crystal there are two things to keep in the back of your mind. First, do your research! Make sure the shop you are purchasing from is authentic, and ethically and sustainably sourced. Second, remember to pick the crystal YOU feel drawn to. The frequencies in crystals are meant to find us, right at the time that we need them. This is your personal journey, so go for it!
