Whether I'm sitting with one client or have a day full of booked readings, I always intuit which crystals to bring along that will be most supportive for all I may meet with. I have noticed a trend, especially when it comes to my aura painting days. Many of the stones work with our auric frequencies to uplift, calm, ground, or charge us. 

I'm often asked what crystals I recommend for certain things. When it comes to aura care, any of the following 5 different crystals can balance and shield your aura for wellness. I chose them based on my experience as a reiki practitioner, psychic medium, and aura painter. I hope you enjoy the short aura cleanse ritual at the end!

Aura Cleanse Ritual

Selenite

I use selenite constantly! Its properties work to clear stagnant or negative energy from the aura. I like to take a selenite wand and “comb” it through my aura to clear up anything stuck or dissonant. This works because the crystal raises vibrational frequencies with what is in its proximity. Many individuals find its energy useful in getting in touch with spiritual energies and entities. I also love selenite because it can act as a light shield around your aura. Carry one in your pocket or meditate with one, with the intention to keep its protective light with you all day.

Black Tourmaline

When it comes to dealing with negativity, I always go right to my black tourmaline. It connects and grounds you into the Earth, drawing up energy to support you in preventing energy drain. If you’re dealing with someone difficult at work, bad dreams, bad luck, or moving through a time of stress, wear black tourmaline as jewelry or carry it in your pocket. The stone protects against psychic and energetic attacks. I always feel safe when I have mine with me!

Labradorite

This is in my all time favorite crystal list for is beautiful flash and the variations of colors that can be found— but it’s much more than just a pretty face. Labradorite brings spiritual and psychic awareness up, so you may expand. It keeps away unwanted energies with its frequencies. Hold onto a piece of labradorite with the intention to heal your aura, and it will seal holes or leaks that were the root of depletion. 

Citrine

The modern world has a way of trying to deplete our personal power and even at times our joy. Citrine works to bring in high-vibrational optimism and confidence. It kicks out whatever isn’t in alignment with your highest good, attracting abundance at the same time. If you feel like there are emotions stuck in your energy field, try carrying citrine with you or sleeping with it nearby. 

Green Aventurine

I chose this as the final crystal in your aura toolkit for its ability to bring balance to auric energy. It supports the heart chakra, providing a stable bridge for the lower and higher chakras to communicate through. It encourages strengthening of the heart, allowing you to heal, regenerate, and grow. In this way, it refreshes and rejuvenates the aura, which enables you to feel strong and confident. 

Aura Cleanse Ritual

1. Call in your Higher Self, Spirit Guides, and any other ancestors or energies that you would like present for support or assistance. As an optional step one, you may light a candle to open the energy.
2. Begin by calling in your energy. Sometimes we leave it behind with people or in places. Sometimes we send it out. Bring it all back home. You can declare it, or visualize the energy as streams or orbs of light returning to you across time and space, entering the top of your head to join the rest of your energy.
   
3. Ground in, returning to the present moment. You can place black tourmaline or smoky Quartz at your feet to help you root into the Earth. Imagine that you are anchoring into the planet, either with tree roots or an anchor made of unbreakable material. Your crystals will also help the Earth draw out heavy energy. 
4. Sweep over your aura with your selenite. You can also use labradorite, green aventurine, or obsidian if you don’t have selenite. Start from the top of your head, and slowly move the crystal through your aura, with the intention to clear away what is blocked, stagnant, or not in alignment. Go over your limbs and make sure to get your back. Reach out the boundaries of your aura. You may feel called to hold or rub the crystal over your skin. Follow your intuition.
5. Hold or place labradorite or citrine over your crown chakra to charge and protect your aura. Imagine the energy trickling over and surrounding you. You can also do this with amethyst or kyanite. 
6. Close out the ritual by thanking your Higher Self, Spirit Guides, anyone else present, and yourself. If you lit a candle, you may put it out to seal your intentions.
