If you’ve recently started learning about shadow work and how to make it more effective, you’ve probably learned that crystals and a few other spiritual tools can help you with this.
Shadow work is a powerful healing method, that works best when combined with crystals, meditation, healing music, and other spiritually potent tools.
In this article, I will describe how to use crystals for shadow work, and also which crystals are best to use.
How Crystals Can Help With Shadow Work
Crystals can help you improve your shadow work process as they are a powerful spiritual tool that can influence your energy and psyche.
Crystals can help you in healing emotions, opening pathways, increasing self-love, healing trauma, accessing your subconscious better, and many other things.
Of course, for them to help you effectively you should know how to use them in shadow work, and also, which ones have the right properties for helping you in your shadow healing process.
As crystals are high-vibrational stones, they can help you channel light and healing, as well as help you draw angels and light entities who will guide you during shadow work and provide shelter and comfort.
Steps To Using Crystals For Shadow Work
To use crystals for shadow work, I advise that you follow the next steps:
#1. Cleanse the crystals
If you are a fan of using crystals in any sort of spiritual work, you know that the first thing to do after buying a crystal is to cleanse it.
This is because crystals take on and store the energy around them, and when they are in the process of being transported and sold they are not always kept in the best environments.
Thus, make it a habit of cleansing your crystals is ideal, and not only after you buy them, but also after every time you use them.
Some ways of effectively cleansing your crystals are Reiki cleanses, Pranic cleanses, sage smoke, and simply placing them into a bowl of unprocessed salt and water.
If you can add frankincense to that water, would be great, if not, salty water will do it.
For charging your crystals with the energy I also recommend channeling energy into them using Reiki & Pranic Healing, as well as placing them into direct sunlight or moonlight.
#2. Meditate with the crystals to connect them to you
I recommend this attunement meditation to be done right after you purchase your crystals, as well as before doing shadow work with them, especially when you’re about to use them for the first time.
The attunement meditation is meant to “attune” the crystals to you, connect them to your energetic structures so that they can help you in any way you need.
To attune the crystals to you, you need to get into a meditative state, holding the crystal in your hand.
Then, visualize your third eye connecting to the crystal through an energy cord, and then your heart & your sacral chakras connecting to it as well.
This way, the crystal will be able to extract the energetic information it needs to guide you in your shadow work process.
#3. Charge them with intention
If you have certain crystals that you plan to only use for shadow work, it’s very useful to charge them with your intention of doing effective shadow work or to have them guide you in the process of healing trauma.
The way to do this is to again get into a meditative state while holding the crystals into your hand, and simply imagine how intention travels from your mind into the crystals, as a form of energy.
The more powerful your intention, the more effective your shadow work will be.

#4. Place them near you while doing shadow work
To have crystals help you while doing shadow work, they need to be placed very close to you when you do it.
So, if you will be sat down or in a lotus position while performing shadow work, the crystals need to be sat in front of you.
If you are laying down, while performing certain meditations, make sure to place the crystals close to your head.
#5. Keep them safe & clean at all times
As crystals take on energy from the environment, you don’t want them to spread randomly around your house or room.
Since you use them in shadow work and other types of spiritual work, it’s best to be mindful of what type of energy touches them, as that energy will influence you directly.
I suggest having a clean, safe box for your crystals, and when I say “clean”, I mean both energetically and physically.
Also, make sure you cleanse them and cut energy strings (other than strings made with you) off them every use.
To cut energy strings off your crystals, simply hold them into your hand, visualize a sword of light cutting any cord of energy that may be linked to your crystal and not coming from you, and say “I now cut any…
