Using Crystals & Gemstones to Support Psychic & Intuitive Work

Need a little help with your intuitive work? Crystals and gemstones can be useful tools in that process, not because they’re magical, but because of how they interact with the forces in the world (and within you).

Here’s how to work with them.

Know Your “What”

Before you pick up a crystal, decide what you’re asking it to support. What do you need aid in doing? The clearer your intention, the more helpful your stone will be.

Crystals work best as extensions of focus. When you assign one a role (like staying centered during readings or quieting emotional noise), you’re training your awareness around that “what”.

Choose by Function, Not Trend

It’s easy to get lost in long lists of “best stones for psychics” or colorful claims about metaphysical properties. Instead, choose what fits your actual needs. A few good starting points include:

• Clear Quartz: Boosts energy and focus. Useful for meditation or when channeling information.
• Amethyst: Supports calm concentration and balanced perception. Useful if you need help with setting boundaries.
• Black Tourmaline: Grounds energy and dispels static or interference. Helpful before and after readings.
• Selenite: Clears and resets energy fields. Can cleanse other stones as well.
• Labradorite: Strengthens intuition while maintaining energetic protection.

It’s more important to understand how a stone interacts with you than to memorize someone else’s list of meanings. Notice how you feel when you hold or wear a crystal during your work. That’s your feedback.

Keep Energy Clear

Crystals absorb and hold energetic information. To keep them working well, clean them regularly. Rinse them briefly in running water if the stone’s hardness allows (avoid water for softer minerals like selenite), or just place them in sunlight or moonlight for several hours. Some practitioners even prefer sound or smoke cleansing.

Putting Them to Work

You don’t need anything complicated to use crystals. Below are a few methods that work well:

• Hold one while you meditate to anchor your focus.
• Place grounding stones at your feet when doing intuitive work.
• Keep a clearing stone nearby to release energy after sessions.
• Wear a small piece that reminds you to stay centered in your body.

The Real Work Is Still You

Crystals support psychic and intuitive development, but they don’t create it. They’re aids and amplifiers, not creators. If you understand what they can (and cannot) do, they can become very useful. Looking for more insights on crystals and gem stones, contact Mel Doerr today!
