I'm no stranger to adversity. I'm no stranger to change or financial hardships. If you are panicking or facing challenges to your financial situation due to the looming recession, bank failures, layoffs or other economic conditions, just know that this is not permanent and it's actually part of the system design. As long as you remain calm, and remember that the key is to adapt to change you can make intentional decisions to position yourself to receive better outcomes.
Crystal meditation can be a helpful tool for setting intentions and coping with change during an economic crisis. I curated the Power of Three Kit, to assist others in selecting a starter set of crystals.
Each crystal in the kit has characteristics suitable for navigating difficult times and healing from personal hardships. Inside the kit, there is obsidian (to offer protection), dream amethyst (to stimulate intuition and creativity), and selenite (to cleanse unwanted energy). You can keep the crystals attached to the palo santo, or separate the palo santo to use as a natural incense or smudge by burning the sticks. For more information on how to use palo santo as a smudge, read here for more.
Here are some steps you can follow to use crystal meditation for this purpose:
-
Choose a crystal: Select a crystal that resonates with your intention or the specific energy you want to bring into your life during the economic crisis. For example, if you want to bring in abundance and prosperity, you might choose a citrine crystal.
-
Find a quiet space: Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or lie down and meditate. Make sure you won't be disturbed during your meditation.
-
Hold the crystal: Hold the crystal in your hand or place it on a part of your body where you feel comfortable.
-
Set your intention: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm your mind. Visualize your intention and set your intention for your meditation. For example, you might visualize yourself feeling calm and confident during the economic crisis.
-
Focus on the crystal: Focus on the crystal in your hand or on your body. Visualize its energy flowing through you and into your intention.
-
Meditate: Continue to focus on the crystal and your intention as you meditate. You might want to repeat a mantra or affirmation related to your intention to help you stay focused.
-
End your meditation: When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Take some time to reflect on your experience and how you can apply your intention to your life during the economic crisis.
Remember that crystal meditation is a personal practice, and you may need to experiment with different crystals and techniques to find what works best for you. With practice, crystal meditation can help you set intentions and cope with change during an economic crisis.
