The Best Crystals for Manifesting

The Lion’s gate portal is around the corner and manifestation is going to be abundant. Here are the best crystals you need to boost your manifesting, including my tried-and-tested trio.

<< Manifesting during Lion’s Gate

Wealth, success, and prosperity are common goals that we all have, but they aren’t easy to manifest.  So many things can go wrong when attracting abundance to our lives and we need all the help we can get – at least I think so! 

Let’s discuss why you should use crystals to boost your manifesting, which crystals to use, and how you can program your crystals to work best for you.      

Why Use Crystals For Manifesting? How Can They Help You?

But first, why crystals?  How are crystals going to help you manifest?  Do you want to attract wealth?  Will they help you win the lottery?  I’ll help you figure out why crystals are a must for your manifestation goals.  

Crystals work on a subtle energetic level.  If you read my previous post, “What’s the Woo with Crystals”, I go into much further detail about this energetic frequency.  In the most simple terms, the  energy of a crystal helps align your energy with what you want to manifest.  And depending on the one you choose to work with, crystals can help you with any of the following, and more!

  • Avoid distraction

  • Choose what you want to manifest

  • Increase focus

  • Fight for your dreams

  • Manifest your desires

  • Calm your nerves

  • Speak your truth

Crystals don’t help you win lotteries – darn!  They don’t magically bring you money, but they DO align your energies in the right direction to help you accomplish your goals. 

Do you absolutely need crystals in order to manifest wealth?  No.  But using crystals for wealth and success will help you understand what might be blocking abundance for you.  Most of the time, we’re not quite sure what we even truly want.  There are vague ideas of what we would like to have and we might assume that this idea is all it takes for the Law of Attraction to work.  I hate to say it, but it takes much more than that.  If it were easy enough to *poof an idea, everyone would have their hearts’ desires.  

In reality, there are so many barriers to overcome before manifesting becomes easy.  And it might not ever be easy peasy.  Crystals aren’t necessarily a must to attract abundance but using crystals for wealth and success might help!  And like I said earlier, I’ll take all the help I can get – wouldn’t you? 

The Honourable Mentions

Before I get to the main manifestation trio, here are some other crystals that you might also be drawn to for manifesting your goals.  

  • Smoky Quartz: An anchoring stone, excellent crystal for grounding and attracting money, power, and success.  Smoky quartz helps you realise your true power and live harmoniously.  It cleanses and clears negative thoughts and self destructive tendencies to help manifest your dreams – goodbye self sabotage!

  • Green Aventurine: Helps attract abundance into your life. It’s a powerful crystal for wealth and success.  It brings money from the path of least resistance and provides strength to face your problems making it perfect for manifesting your goals.  And who doesn’t want that?  If you’re looking to start a hobby or side hustle, now is the right time for it! Sometimes, lighting a green candle and meditating with green aventurine can bring more money into your life – think of it like a little ritual.  

  • Gold Rutilated Quartz: Full of high vibrational energy, golden rutilated quartz connects all of your chakras while simultaneously connecting you to the Divine.  It helps you receive inspiration, stimulates creativity, and amplifies your thoughts to help you manifest your goals.

The Best Crystal Trio for Manifestation

This is my go-to combination if you want to boost your manifesting and the manifestation crystal trio has never done me wrong.

Pyrite

Also called Fool’s Gold and the ‘stone of abundance’.  Pyrite draws fortune and luck while helping you take action to create abundance.  It shields you from all types of bad vibrations and helps you feel content and grateful for what you have.  Gratitude is one of the best tools to use for attracting wealth and prosperity.  As you shift into a vibration of gratitude, more abundance will come your way.  

Citrine

One of the most well-known crystals for abundance, wealth, and prosperity.  It energises and rejuvenates on every level of life, promoiting motivation and creativity. It brings joy and wonder while raising self-esteem and self-confidence.  Stimulating and strengthening, it works directly on your solar plexus and helps release any blockages in your way. Place citrine on your desk, workspace, or in the wealth corner of your home.

Blue Apatite

Known for its personal power to achieve goals, blue apatite clears away any confusion, negativity, or apathy.  The stone is attuned to the future making it enhance manifesting as you speak your truth.  It brings clarity to help you understand the truth.  It gives you conviction to clear bad habits and overcome obstacles.   

It’s helped me manifest my dream job with my dream salary, it’s helped my husband manifest new opportunities with more freedom and money, and it’s given me endless opportunities for my next step or next move.

How to Program Crystals for Abundance

And now that you know which crystals to help boost your manifestations, what do you do with them?  Whether it be money, opportunities, or success, your crystals can be programmed to work for you.  Do what feels right for you, but here are a few tips for programming your crystals.

To Program a Crystal

  • Hold it in your left hand.  The left hand represents receiving and absorbing positive energy.  

  • Imagine a white golden light shining down on you and forming a sacred space around you.  

  • Take a few deep deep breaths, and with each exhale, let go of your stress.  

  • Now imagine the crystal communicating with you.  Maybe with words, songs, or images.  Take as much time as you need to listen and connect with the crystal.

  • Think about what you want the crystal to help with –  the Universe doesn’t do well with vagueness, so you’ll want to be as specific as possible.

  • After you have what you want in mind, imagine a light from the crystal, glowing and expanding, forming a bubble around you.  Allow this light to guide you on how to manifest wealth in your life, picture what this wealth looks like in the present day.  

Different crystals can be programmed for different things, but the ones listed are some of the best for manifesting.  Which one of these will you be trying?  Did you pre-order a manifestation trio of your own? Let us know in the comments!

What is Reiki?

I’m so happy that so many have been excited and curious about my journey. Although reiki doesn’t really have to do with the woo — to me, it’s more like woo-adjacent; it still has to do with energy. The principle that the universe has an energy that gives form, structure, and health is also said to be capable of healing anything because its energy comes from the basic fundamentals of our reality.

So…what is reiki? I’ll go into the basics later in this post, but I think my husband explained it best. Everything is made of energy. Think of the your energy, the energy inside of you, your very energetic presence as a battery. And when we use up our energy in our day to day interactions, we get depleted just like a battery would. So what happens when a battery is about to die? We charge it. Reiki recharges our energy battery with pure universal life energy, what I like to call “the good good”. Who doesn’t want more of the good good?

The Basics

Reiki is a simple and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement. It’s a Japanese technique that promotes healing through stress reduction and relaxation. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. It is a non-invasive form of hands-on healing where practitioners channel Ki (energy) into their clients for rebalancing and recharging.

Reiki energy brings many benefits:

  • Deep relaxation

  • Removes energy blockages

  • Detoxifies the system

  • Provides new vitality

  • Increases your vibration 

The recipient opens himself/herself as a channel for an energy that comes from a higher source to aid in healing or realigning one’s aura.

What Happens During a Reiki Session?

Each practitioner has their own unique practice but usually the reiki practitioner will perform some hand rituals. Some will walk you through a meditation or breath work. Then the reiki practitioner will place their hands directly on or slightly above each chakra of the recipient and spend time channeling universal life energy to that specific chakra to recharge or help with healing.

Intuitively, the practitioner might be called to spend more time on a specific area than others. Sometimes during reiki, the recipient may feel tingling in their hands or some see colours while they are relaxing and receiving treatment. And others feel nothing at all! But that doesn’t mean that it’s not working.

Practitioners can complete reiki from a distance, also known as distance reiki or reiki remote healing. The practitioner will sometimes ask for an object that will represent the recipient and they will treat said object just like they are treating the person. Practitioners are also capable of healing objects such as cars, homes or even laptops. For example, I love to super charge my crystal jewelry to give it that extra boost so when I wear it, I can reap the benefits of the good good.

How Can Reiki Support My Journey?

Reiki can absolutely support one’s healing journey, but it all comes down to the recipient’s willingness as well — willingness to remove old habits and negative patterns, to accept change and move forward with healing.

If you are interested in Reiki, then maybe you’ve been guided here on your healing journey. Or maybe you’re just curious to explore other possibilities for deep healing and inner discovery. It’s a different healing process compared with others, but I see it as a recharge and realignment. I see it as using that good good (positive energy) to recharge and push out negativities in my battery.

And now the disclaimer part — Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment. Instead, it should be used as a compliment to any already ongoing treatment.

Still have more questions? Or want to try reiki?

Feel free to get in contact!

What’s the Woo with Crystals?

If you follow me on any social media, it’s no secret that I have an affinity for crystals. Slightly obsessed to the point where watching live crystal sales are now my jam. (Do people still say that? I do.)

I’ve gotten asked quite a few times about where to start, what to do, how do you see if this woo will work for you too? So here we are — what’s the woo with crystals?

First things first — always trust your intuition. Sometimes crystals will call to you, sometimes they’ll come to you. Most times, if you’re like me; you’re feeling some type of way and google which crystal is best for dealing with that type of way. I won’t go into detail about metaphysical properties of crystals here because there are a million amazing references but I will talk about how I go about choosing ones I want to work with and a few of my current faves.

How Does the Crystal Woo Work?

Crystal use and practices for healing and meditation have dated back throughout the ages but there’s got to be more than just your intuition, hopes, and dreams, right? Not to worry — there is a bit of science too!

All things vibrate at different frequencies called Dormant Oscillatory Rates (DORs). Each cell in our bodies vibrates at it’s own DOR, so as human beings, can you imagine the number of vibrations we have?! Crystals have only one DOR and their molecules are arranged in fixed repeating pattern and that means crystals are highly stable at maintaining their DOR. When crystals are brought into our energy field, the entrainment starts. Entrainment happens when the rhythm of a more stable energy causes another to gradually sychronise. Hello Universe, bringing us balancing energies!

Because of the above, the stable energy of crystals are already used as resonators or transducers of electromagnetic energies in our day-to-day like watches, phones, and our computers. Why not use them in your daily practice for balance as well?

Reasons for the Crystal Woo

Does there really have to be reasons for you to incorporate crystals into your day-to-day? Not at all, you can just want to! Maybe you’re drawn to them, curious about those metaphysical properties I mentioned, or you just think they’d look awesome in your home to spruce up the vibe. You do you!

Here are a few reasons why I like the crystal woo:

  • Feeling some type of way. There are times when I’m feeling that too and need a crystal to help me along. Whether it be a placebo effect or it actually helps, I can tell you that I feel a million times better when I have a crystal for support. And coming from a superstitious family, I gotta cover all my bases.

  • Support. If there is an event or anything coming up that I want to be prepared for, I pick the crystal players that I want in. Think about it like assembling a team to push you forward, and depending on the situation, you can switch up the players. This can work for any situation like an interview, as part of your manifestation ritual, or even those pesky planetary conjunctions/retrogrades. I’ve got a doozy story about a mercury retrograde I’ll have to share one day.

  • Protection. If I want protection from negativity or to protect my loved ones, I use also crystals in this scenario. Think about this like negative juju or those energy suckers around you. Obviously, if you’re being physically attacked, I’m not too sure what a crystal will do, but given you have enough or sharp enough points, crystals might be able to protect you this way too. I put a protection set in my husband’s car because he travels for work. I also put a protection stone into my little one’s back pack, my purse, and my husband’s work bag. This protection stone packs a punch and is known as a karma stone. Essentially, any bad thoughts/vibes/juju that someone wishes towards you or tries to send your way, gets sent directly back. I mean, it might not be instaneous — let karma do its thing.

So we’ve all got reasons, now how do you pick the right crystal?

Picking the Right Crystal

Center Yourself

Whether I’m at a crystal shop or trolling for crystals online, I always like to center and ground myself before I have a wander. What does that mean? I close my eyes and take 3 deep breaths — yes, it’s weird and people might stare but I’m stepping into the woo weirdness! With each inhale, I picture taking in all the light and good juju around me and crowding all the bad juju in my system. With each exhale, I picture the good juju that I’ve just inhaled pushing out the bad and anything that no longer serves me. Centering yourself clears out the noise in your brain, your heart, your body. It tunes you in to be present. And if it helps, maybe say a little mantra to yourself like “Whatever is meant for me, will be”.

Listen to Yourself & Pay Attention

If I’m in a shop, I wander about and see what I’m drawn to or what speaks to me. Did something catch your eye? Do you find yourself wandering to the same area of the store? Sometimes I put my hands over the crystals and take another deep breath like maybe my third eye feels something or I carry them around to see if I feel connected to any of them like I can’t possibly part with it. Walking out empty handed is perfectly normal; like I said before, they will call to you.

If I’m online, I essentially do the same but scroll the pages until something catches my eye. If I find myself going back to a specific picture/crystal or thinking about it again and again while I’m scrolling, then that usually tells me that I need to have it.

Use Your New Crystal

If you end up selecting a crystal, take care of it by carrying it with you like putting it in a pocket or bag. Or if you end up buying crystal jewelry, wear it often. If you selected a big one, display it carefully in your home or office. You could even feng shui your crystals into your home. The more you have the crystal on your person or around you, the more connected you’ll be and the better your crystal will work for you.

Everyone’s energy is different so your experience or entrainment with a specific crystal will be different as well. It will take a bit of experimenting to find a balance that works for you. And although crystals will help, they are just tools to help energy flow more freely. You still gotta do the work.

I’ll share another post soon about how I activate and work with a few of my crystals.

Feel free to give it a try and see if it works for you too.

Leave us a comment on what’s worked out for you!

It Begins…

I say “It begins…” as opposed to “Where it all began” because technically, I’m still at the very beginning. It’s just starting. I’m only just stepping into my magick and hope that documenting my journey here will help others. At the very least, it will help me.

Magic. The Woo. Witchery. Magic can mean different things for different people, but for me, my magick — that Mishi Magick — is the undeniable need to tap into and connect with my intuition and the Universe. There are a lot of woo experts and witches out there already and plenty of references for anyone wanting to dig deeper. But like I said, this is my journey.

Inexplicable connections and gut feelings have never proved me wrong. And they’re just that — inexplicable. But what would happen if I stepped into the inexplicable?

So join me, read the ramblings, take what you will from this nouveau witch. I’m trying to figure out what will work for me and I hope along the way, it gives you a safe space to explore what magick will work for you too.
