 crystal
shapes
Crystals come in many different shapes and sizes. Some are
naturally formed into clusters, while others retain a solid, denser
shape. The size and shape of a crystal will not change the type of
energy that it emits, but it can adjust the way in which you receive it.
Crystals’ shapes can help to amplify your intention and your
experience with them. Are you needing to find some stability in a
situation? The grounding essence of a cube-shaped crystal might
be the best choice for you. Are you panicked over a deadline and
in desperate need of focus? A crystal point will offer you a visual
reminder to stay on task. Is a celebration in order? In this case, a
cluster crystal with its many sparkling facets is the shape for you.
Choosing a crystal shape that will pair well with your intention will
enhance and magnify your transformation.

369
cluster
A crystal cluster occurs when several
crystal points grow together on a matrix.
The convergence of these many crystal
points creates a cluster of high-energy
vibrations, where the energy is sent in
multiple directions simultaneously. A
cluster crystal is essential to have in
any space, particularly spaces where the
energy needs to be amplified.
cubes
Many crystals are found in a cubic forma-
tion. The cube shape works best to en-
courage a grounding energy. Meditating
with cubic crystals will help to root you
to the ground and reconnect you with the
powerful energy of the Earth. By plac-
ing cubic formations in each of the four
corners of a room, you will seal, protect,
and ground the energy of your space.
harmonizers
Polished into cylindrical shapes, crystal
harmonizers are ideal to hold during
meditation. The ancient Egyptians first
crafted these crystals for curing energy
blocks and energetic imbalances, and
that practice continues today. By holding
one harmonizer in the left hand (yin), and
370
another in the right (yang), spiritual vital-
ity is renewed and a sense of balance can
be restored.
Hearts
A heart-shaped crystal elicits a soft
but powerful energy. Crystals that have
been shaped into hearts can be placed
anywhere to help you remember that you
are surrounded by love. They can be an
effective way to attract love from oth-
ers. Similarly, they can also work well to
remind you to nourish yourself with love
from within.
Points
Crystal points are extremely effective
shapes to incorporate into your space.
These shapes emit a no-nonsense ener-
gy. They are ready to put your intentions
into action. One of the most commonly
used shapes, crystal points are a power-
ful tool for manifesting your dreams.
They offer support in reaching your goals.
By directing your intention upward into
the universe, they offer you a clear target
for your ambitions.
 crystals
by color
Whether you are choosing an outfit or decorating your space,
you tend to gravitate toward colors you like. The same can be

associated with each color found in crystals and how to best
marry your crystal with an intention.

bedroom
Your bedroom is your sanctuary. It should
be a tranquil, calm, and peaceful. When it
comes to crystals in the bedroom, less is
more. Crystals are amplifiers, so for some
people, the buzz of energy that they
carry can prevent restful sleep. If you are
sensitive to energy or have a hard time
sleeping, try removing all crystals and
adding them back one at a time. See how
it feels after a few days. Did you sleep
better? Did the room feel more tranquil?
It’s important to find a balance of crystal
energy that works for you, so add and
subtract crystals as needed before you
decide on your bedroom crystal configu-
ration.
Besides a peaceful and relaxing en-
ergy, these crystals also infuse your bed-
room with love and romance to enhance
your love life.

the bed with the energy of love.

nightstand, or on the windowsill to clear,
purify, and raise the vibrational energy of
the room.

in the bedroom. Place them together on
your nightstand to help you to shift from
intellectualizing love to feeling it. Spheres
bring an expansive energy to the room
since there is no beginning or end. Their
message is Love More.
