Do Crystals Personally Protect You From Negative Energy?

YES and NO.

Let’s begin with the need for protection in general.

There are absolutely times in all our lives when we need all sorts of protection, from physical protection to mental, emotional as well as spiritual.

Within this topic of crystal usage, we are referring to mental, emotional and spiritual protection. However these areas of protection, can in turn, help keep you physically safe.

Throughout our lives there are times when we feel stuck in a toxic relationships, or or have bouts of anxiousness, maybe panicky feelings and reservations.

Maybe the feelings are simply that you feel you are being clouded by negative energy.

No matter what, there can be factors both, internal and external, that we find ourselves in that may require us to safe guard our energy from overwhelming negativity. 

so YES crystals can help.

If you are dealing with self-negativity, self-sabotage, toxic relationships, or negativity from others, using a crystal assigned to protection may help.

Crystals have minerals and color properties that speak to an assignment of specific energies. I call these energies characteristics. These characteristics already live in the energy of the crystal user whether we deem them good or bad. Think of characteristics like love, confidence, jealousy, anger, joy.

When the crystal that is assigned to support these characteristics is utilized it may amplify or lessen these energies for healing or in this sense for protection.

However NO they won’t.

Here’s why. The crystal itself alone will not do anything if you do not believe it will. Also crystals do not protect you from let’s say any physical acts of harm or even mental or emotionally ones if you yourself are not already safe guarding yourself by recognizing your boundaries and trigger reactions.

Crystals can be used to protect you from outside sources and negative energies, however they may also be able to help you harness the strength to protect yourself and the clarity to know when to walk away by spending time with yourself and recognizing your full self and the ownership of what you will create as healthy boundaries to honor your sense of protection .

Does this make sense?

Regardless, I hope you find this information helpful and can use the power of crystals to find peace, love, and balance in your life.
