People have turned to them for guidance in the difficult times and to help clear away negative energy that holds us back and brings many forms of evil into this world.
One such way they can be used is to bring clarity to an otherwise cloudy or uncertain situation. If this is something you’re looking for, then know there are plenty of crystals to help you get there (see also ‘What Crystals Cannot be Together‘).
Let us take a deep breath now and dive in to explore the best crystals to use for clarity and how to use them effectively.
What Does It Mean To Have Clarity?
Before we get started, it’s important to understand what clarity means. Clarity can be defined as a state of being free from confusion or ambiguity.
When you have clarity, you know what you want and why you want it. You feel confident in your decisions and clear about your direction in life.
Having clarity doesn’t mean that life is always easy, but it does mean that you have a strong sense of self and purpose, and you can see without the cloudiness of doubt. Now that we know what clarity is, let’s explore some of the best crystals to use for achieving it!
Amethyst: The Stone Of Clarity And Protection
Amethyst (see also ‘How To Tell If Amethyst Is Real‘) is a beautiful purple crystal that has been used for centuries for its healing properties. It’s known as the “stone of clarity” because it’s thought to help clear away negative energy and promote feelings of peace and calm.
When you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, holding an amethyst can help you feel more centered and focused. Amethyst is also known as a stone of protection.
It creates a positive force field around the wearer, helping to deflect negative energy and protect against negative influences. If you’re going through a difficult time or feeling especially vulnerable, carrying an amethyst with you can help you feel more safe and protected.
How To Use Amethyst For Clarity?
I find that the best way to use amethyst for an immediate effect is to hold it in your hand while you meditate or do breathing exercises. You can also place it on your third eye chakra (the energy center located between your eyebrows) while you meditate or sleep.
You can also keep amethyst in your home or office to create a calming and protective atmosphere. Place it near the entrance of your home to help deflect negative energy, or keep it on your desk at work to promote feelings of calm and focus.
Clear Quartz: The Stone Of Clarity And Amplification
Clear quartz is one of the most popular crystals because it’s known for its ability to amplify energy. It’s often used to help you hone in your focus when you’re trying to gain a new perspective on a situation you’re struggling with.
It’s pretty much in the name, but this is why clear quartz is also known as the “stone of clarity”. When seeking this clarity in any area of your life, clear quartz can absorb, store, release, and regulate energy.
This helps prevent you from getting too emotionally-turbulent when dealing with situations, and promotes a balancing of the mind, body, and spirit.
Clear quartz can also be used to amplify the effects of other stones. If you’re looking for a way to boost the power of your crystals, clear quartz is a great option!
How To Use Clear Quartz For Clarity?
The best way to use clear quartz is to simply place it wherever you think you might need its vibrational energy.
Personally, I like to place a large piece at home or in my office at work to help create a calming and protective atmosphere; a place that can quite easily get stressful, emotional, and cloudy during the harder times.
You could also place it near the entrance of your home to help deflect negative energy, or keep it on your desk at work to promote feelings of calm and focus.
Citrine: The Stone Of Clarity And Abundance
Citrine is a beautiful yellow-orange crystal that’s known for its ability to promote clarity and abundance. This is a crystal that’s all about boosting your motivation and inspiration, your drive, and basically helps you remain clear-headed and focused while moving towards a certain goal.
It’s for this reason that citrine is thought to help clear away negative energy and promote feelings of joy and enthusiasm. If you’re feeling stuck in a rut or like you’re in a funk, holding citrine can help you break out of it and start fresh.
Citrine is also known as the “stone of abundance.” It’s thought to attract good luck, prosperity, and success.
If you’re manifesting your dream life or working towards a big goal, keeping citrine nearby can help you achieve your desires (see also ‘How To Manifest Someone To Dream About You‘).
How To Use Citrine For Clarity?
You’ll really feel at home with citrine if you can place it on your solar plexus chakra (the energy center located just below the sternum) while you meditate or sleep.
You can also keep citrine in your home or office to create an abundance mindset. Place it near your front door to attract good luck and positive energy, or keep it on your desk at work to manifest success.
Anywhere that you might need a boost and may lose yourself to overthinking, whether at home or work, place citrine and let it go. If you’re feeling really stressed or stuck in your own mind in the worst ways, you can always carry a piece with you.
Rose Quartz: The Stone Of Love And Compassion
Rose quartz is a pink crystal that’s associated with the heart chakra. It’s known as the “stone of love” because it’s thought to promote feelings of love, compassion, and forgiveness (see also ‘13 Beautiful Crystals For Forgiveness‘).
If you’re struggling with heartache, resentment, or grief, holding rose quartz can help you release those negative emotions and open your heart to healing.
Of course, when dealing with any of these aspects in your life, you’re going to need clarity to help you remain focused, grounded, and to ensure you’re not just acting out of emotion when things get a little heated or confusing.
In short, rose quartz is ideal if you’re dealing with a difficult situation or feeling overwhelmed, keeping rose quartz nearby can help you feel more compassionate and understanding towards yourself and others.
How To Use Rose Quartz For Clarity?
You can pretty much use and enjoy the benefits of rose quartz however is best for you, so don’t be afraid to experiment. I like to think about areas of my life where I’m struggling a little in this department and crave a little clarity, and then bring rose quartz into the mix.
This could be at home or in the bedroom, at work and in the office. I’ll just place a piece and let it work its magic (see also ‘How To Shuffle Tarot Cards‘).
If I’m just feeling a little lost and out of touch with myself, then I’ll instead wear a piece around my neck, on a bracelet, or just leave it in my pocket, although necklaces work better because it’s closer to your heart chakra.
Conclusion
