If you are mindful, you consciously and attentively monitor your space rather than having it running as a background programme. Our environment impinges on us more than we realize. Both the physical landscape around us, the rock beneath our feet, and the more subtle energies of weather, electromagnetics and air pressure can affect our mood and our functioning. Mindfulness helps us to be more aware of these influences and to enjoy nature in all its immediacy. But it also assists us in knowing whether our environment is beneficial and, in combination with crystals, helps to create a sacred space in which to live, love and work.
Placing crystals around your home or workplace creates safe space. They protect you from the detrimental effects of electromagnetics, earth energies and other environmental disturbances. But they also create a sacred space in which to be mindful – Selenite is perfect for this. You can place crystals around your meditation area to enhance your practice or around your bed to help you to sleep. Crystals will deepen your attunement to spiritual energies and so help you to live and breathe more mindfully. Crystals such as Black Tourmaline can also be used to turn back other people’s angry or jealous thoughts, leaving you free to simply be. Placing crystals on a map sends healing anywhere in the world. A crystal layout will radiate beneficial energies into your immediate environment. Remember to join the crystal shapes with your mind or a wand (a long pointed crystal).
