How to Actually Use Crystals – Your No-Fluff Guide to Tapping Into The

Okay, so the other day a friend asked me, "Rain, I bought this Amethyst necklace from Love Bullets because it looked cute, but like… how do I actually use it?" And I realised—this stuff isn't as obvious as we crystal lovers sometimes make it out to be! So I decided to write a full-on guide for anyone who's ever thought, I love crystals but have no idea what I’m doing with them.

Crystals aren’t just pretty—they’re powerhouses of energy. You can use them for protection, grounding, attracting love, boosting confidence, and so much more. But to really get those benefits, you need to work with them. Here's how. ✨

1. Cleanse Your Crystal First

Before you do anything, you need to cleanse your crystal. Think of it like clearing the vibes it picked up before it came to you. Crystals absorb energy, so this is super important.

Easy Ways to Cleanse:

Smoke cleansing – Use sage, palo santo, or incense to pass the crystal through the smoke.
Moonlight – Leave your crystal on a windowsill overnight during the full moon.
Sound – A singing bowl or tuning fork works wonders.

Note: Some crystals like Citrine and Amethyst can fade in sunlight, so avoid sun-cleansing unless you’re sure it’s safe.

2. Where to Keep Your Crystals for Daily Energy

Once they’re cleansed and ready to vibe, placing your crystals with intention is key. Here’s where to keep specific ones we sell at Love Bullets:

For Emotional Healing + Love:

Rose Quartz – Keep on your bedside table or under your pillow for heart-healing dreams.
Pink Lepidolite – Place it on your chest when lying down or near your bath for anxiety relief.

For Protection + Grounding:

Black Tourmaline – Pop it near the front door to protect your home.
Smoky Quartz – Keep in your bag or near your laptop to absorb bad energy and EMFs.
Tigers Eye – Carry in your pocket or keep at your desk for confidence and grounding.

For Energy + Confidence:

Citrine – Keep in your purse or wallet to attract abundance and joy.
Carnelian – Place it near your workspace for creativity or wear it when you need a motivation boost.

For Spiritual Connection + Intuition:

Amethyst – Put it on your altar, under your pillow, or wear it while meditating.
Labradorite – Keep it close when journaling or doing shadow work.
Moonstone – Best by your bedside or worn as jewellery during full moons for divine feminine energy.

For Focus + Mental Clarity:

Fluorite – Pop it on your desk while studying or problem solving.
Blue Lapis Lazuli – Wear during deep convos or when speaking your truth.

For Luck + Growth:

Green Aventurine – Keep in your handbag or wear during job interviews and new beginnings.
Dalmatian Jasper – Great in your workspace to keep you grounded and positive.

For Amplifying Intentions:

Clear Quartz – Keep it anywhere! It's a master amplifier and can boost the energy of other crystals around it.

3. Meditate With Your Crystals (Even if You’ve Never Meditated Before)

Meditation doesn’t have to mean sitting cross-legged in silence for hours. It’s literally just taking a moment to connect with your breath and your crystal’s energy.

Try This Simple Meditation Ritual:

Choose a crystal based on what you want to feel—Amethyst for calm, Citrine for energy, Rose Quartz for love, etc.
Hold it in your left hand (the receiving hand) or place it on a corresponding chakra (Rose Quartz over your heart, for example).
Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths in and out.
Set an intention in your mind. Something like, "I invite emotional healing" or "I welcome confidence into my life."
Breathe. Imagine the crystal glowing with that energy and flowing into your body.
Stay like this for 5–10 minutes. No pressure if your mind wanders—just bring it back gently.

Even a quick 2-minute crystal meditation can shift your energy so much.

4. Wear Your Crystals – Jewellery with Purpose 💎

Crystals work best when they’re close to your body. That’s why I’m obsessed with Love Bullets jewellery—it lets you keep your chosen crystal energy with you all day. Gold-plated bullet shell necklaces with embedded crystals? Super artsy and spiritually charged. Win-win.

Wear:

Amethyst or Moonstone during moments of reflection or meditation.
Tigers Eye or Carnelian before big meetings or performances.
Rose Quartz or Pink Lepidolite on dates or when you’re working on self-love.

5. Recharge + Reconnect Regularly

Just like us, crystals need a reset sometimes. Cleanse them regularly (at least once a month or after heavy emotional use) and don’t forget to check in with your intuition—sometimes your favourite crystal will stop calling to you, and that’s okay. It might be time to work with a new one.

Final Thoughts

Crystals aren’t just décor—they’re tools for healing, transformation, and connection. Whether you’re keeping one by your bed or wearing it proudly around your neck, the intention behind how you use your crystal is what makes the magic happen.

So next time someone asks how do I actually use this crystal?, send them this post—and maybe gift them their next piece of crystal magic while you’re at it. 💫
