All About Quartz | Meditation, Manifestation and More

You probably don’t even realize it, but you’re surrounded by quartz at this very moment.

It’s one of the most abundant minerals found on Earth, and has unique properties that allow it to accurately measure time. This means quartz can be found in all kinds of electronic devices. If you’re reading this on a cell phone, tablet, or any kind of computer, you’re using it right now!

Quartz isn’t just practical in modern times; it’s also been revered throughout the ages and around the globe. The ancient Greeks called quartz “kristallos” and believed it to be a permanent form of ice created by the gods. Indigenous cultures across the world were equally influenced by this mysterious stone and were drawn to its spiritual energy. For millennia, it’s been used by shamans, found in ritual practice, and made into jewelry and amulets meant to heal, protect, and connect. 

To this day, quartz crystal fascinates and inspires on every level. Energetically speaking, clear quartz is seen as a blank slate. It amplifies existing energy and has come to be known as the master healer of the crystal world. Quartz is unique because it can take on any intention you wish and is associated with manifestation. Carrying it in your pocket or purse, keeping it in your home, and wearing quartz jewelry can help to align your actions with the intentions and energies you seek to fill your life with. 

So, how does it work?

Manifestation starts with mindfulness and meditation to set your intentions, and I'm gonna show you how to make it all happen.

Before you know it, your energies will start to align, and you'll be manifesting your best life into existence. 

Let's get into it. 

How to work with Quartz | Setting Intentions and Meditation with Quartz

It feels nearly impossible to find peace in modern life. Especially in this day and age. There’s so much in the world we can’t control; it makes sense to look inward to see what you can.

Turns out, it’s you.  

Quartz crystals and your quartz jewelry can offer you a little support as you make your way through your journey. Leaning into the practice of meditation and mindfulness is a good first step to take to bring their energies into your life.

Setting Intentions and Connecting to Your Intuition

Your intuition is the part of you that understands who you are without judgment, ego, and fear. It’s the part of you that can help you understand yourself on a deeper level and grow with the challenges that come your way. 

It's worth making the connection, but how do you start?

It helps to start small. Start with five to ten minutes so you can maintain this practice regularly. Once a month, around the full moon is great, but you can set it up whenever works best for you. Consistency is always the key, along with a little grace for the inevitable little bumps in the road. It’s not always easy to be alone with your thoughts, especially in the beginning. Starting with small increments of time is wise - you can add more later when you get the hang of it.

And remember - there is no wrong way to do this. Practice is the point. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. 

The Set Up | What do you need to mediate with quartz crystals or quartz jewelry?

• Your quartz crystal or quartz jewelry. You can choose to wear it through your practice, or you can choose to hold it in your hand during your meditation.
• A quiet place to sit. It can be on a pillow on the floor, in a comfortable chair, or on the sofa. Make sure you can maintain this seated position for five to ten minutes. If you don't have a quiet place, noise-canceling headphones can help.
• An idea. What are you interested in achieving? Journaling or talking with like-minded and supportive folks can help you get started if you're not sure. 
• A timer.
  

Steps to Meditate with your Quartz Crystals or Jewelry

Step 1 | Take your seat and get comfortable. Make sure you have your crystal or jewelry, and wear it or hold it in your hands comfortably.

Step 2 | Set your timer for your desired time.

Step 3 | Close your eyes, and begin to count your breaths up to ten.

Step 4 | After finishing the count, center yourself and place your awareness on your body and your breath. With every inhale, imagine a new, energizing breath traveling into your body and providing the energy you need for this experience. As you exhale, imagine letting go of energy that no longer serves you in this moment. 

Step 5 | Next, ask yourself - what intention would you like to bring into your quartz crystal or quartz jewelry? Remember, it can be anything. Think about where you’re currently spending energy in your life, and evaluate if those current energies are serving you. Your intuition will lead you. When you have a sense, you can charge your quartz crystal or jewelry by speaking the intention aloud or in your mind, "This crystal holds and represents my intention for _____. When I look upon, wear, or hold this crystal, I will be reminded to bring that energy into my life."

It’s ok if something doesn’t come to mind right away. In fact, it’s very normal. Remember, this is all about progress, not perfection! It’s also ok if it takes more than one meditation session. This is your journey after all. It may look different than someone else’s. What matters most is that you’re taking time to look and see what feels right to you. 

Step 6 | When you’re timer goes off, you’re done - for now. If you found and named your intentions, great! Move forward with them. If not, don't worry. In this case, set your intentions to have the curiosity to find out more. Carry your quartz crystal or wear your jewelry until the next full moon or your next session. Come back to the practice when you want to renew your intentions or feel ready to try again. 

Progress, Not Perfection

Always remember, it's important to give yourself grace and trust that you can settle into the practice even if things don't come right away. Modern life requires us to disconnect from ourselves, and this practice is made to help you find your way back to yourself. Expect starts and stops, along with some bumps in the road, but don't let them stop you from moving forward. We're looking for progress, not perfection. 

So what do you think? Would you try this out, or do you already meditate and set intentions with your quartz crystal or quartz jewelry?
