Crystals for Protection
Black Tourmaline, Amethyst, & Clear Quartz are my top 3 favorite crystal choices for protection. This includes protection you can keep with you at all times (pocket or handbag), during travel, & in the car. Read on for properties of each & why, as a Crystal Reiki Master, I recommend them.
Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is great for protection, detoxification, hand-eye coordination, energy flow & removal of blockages.
Best for purifying and transforming dense energy into lighter vibrations.
It also serves to balance chakra centers and re-balancing energy meridians (Reiki works with energy meridians).
Black Tourmaline provides a strong energetic field of protection—an energy shield.
It’s one of my favorite crystals for protection!
You can keep it near you to help guard against radiation and pollutants. I like to keep it next to my computer or phone!
Amethyst
Amethyst is a crystal you can utilize for energy shielding because it can create a protective barrier around you and your auric field (including your pineal gland). If you’re an empath or just sensitive to energy (ever go into a room and just feel “off” — yeah that’s the energy of the person/people in the room you are picking up on). Try wearing an amethyst bracelet, ring, necklace, or carrying a small stone in your pocket.
Since amethyst is linked to the crown chakra (this is easy to remember because the stone is purple and that’s the color associated w/the crown chakra ), it is extremely useful for expanding your third eye (intuition and spiritual awareness). This translates to protection because the more aware you are, the better you’ll be able to pick up on negative energy or evil eye coming your way—and know to grab this gemstone as protection.
Amethyst is a great one to keep in your car because it purifies the auric field + enhances cognitive perception (which keeps you sharp + focused on the road)!
I like to keep amethyst near me when I sleep. If you keep it under your pillow, you’ll have super vivid dreams (try it), and if you keep it on your nightstand you’ll have just enough of the energy serve as protection over you and your energy body when you sleep. Its calming benefits are really nice at night, too. If you have nightmares or restlessness, amethyst protects you from that. Another added benefit is that it helps you remember your dreams. And while that’s not a protective benefit, it’s nice ;)
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is often considered the greatest of all crystals due to its versatility & broad range of uses.
Clear Quartz is one of my favorites, too! I have a clear Quartz wand (wand basically means it’s a larger crystal that can be held in your hand w/a point at the end). I use for so many things—the point directs the power of the crystal (this is for any crystal).
Clear Quartz offers amazing clarity and healing abilities. This wonderful crystal has purification qualities & will purify your aura. This makes it a great protection stone & one I take with me traveling (it’s great to keep a small tumbled version in your purse or pocket).
It’s also one of the best crystals for protection while driving. It keeps negative energy out so that you can be without stress, distractions, or fatigue. If freshly charged, Clear Quartz can activate your crown chakra which can help deter car accidents.
Clear Quartz encourages focus so that you stay alert, but it also clears confusion.
You can keep your focus & channel the crystal for pretty much anything; why its known as the “all-purpose crystal” ;)
