In this article, you will also get an introduction to the best crystals for manifesting and how to use crystals to manifest.
A short intro to manifestation and crystals
Manifestation is the process of raising your energy vibration to make your desires come true. The law of attraction tells us that with positive thinking, anything is achievable. It is all about getting a grip on your thoughts, feelings, and emotions and channeling them on the right path to get what you want.
The law of vibration states that everything in this Universe, including living and non-living things, is made up of energy. When there is an energy match, there is a mutual attraction. To manifest your goal, all you need to do is to boost your energy vibrational frequency to match that of the goal.
Crystals are formed from mineral deposits deep down inside the earth. When the temperature cools down, crystallization happens. Later on, when various crystallized minerals come under very high pressure and temperature, crystals are created.
As the formation process of crystals involves high-energy conditions, some of the energy gets trapped inside these crystals. Crystals release this energy into the environment throughout their lifetime. It is this energy that makes crystals do wonders for us humans.
Manifesting with crystals
To manifest a goal, the law of attraction offers a variety of tools and techniques. The purpose of all of them is to raise the vibrational frequency to match that of the goal. Some of the most effective and commonly used techniques are visualization, affirmation, gratitude, and meditation. Most often, those who are manifesting use a combination of techniques to help manifest faster.
Now, let’s see how crystals can play a role in manifestation. As explained earlier, crystals have an abundance of energy within them and this energy is released into the surroundings constantly. When you are wearing a crystal as a jewel or keeping it near you, you will end up absorbing this energy. In other words, you get an energy boost without making any special effort.
Whether your goal is to attract your soulmate, acquire more money, or improve your health, the idea is to raise your energy level to align with the energy level of your goal. Crystals can do this for you without any effort from your side. You may also combine crystals with other manifestation processes like visualization and meditation.
Not much research and studies have been done on the effectiveness of crystals in boosting energy vibrations. Without proof, either way, some tend to think of the power of crystals as a placebo.
However, if proof is what is required for the validation of crystals, then you may consider the testimony of the millions of people who have relied on crystals for thousands of years. Moreover, for staunch believers in the healing and energy-boosting power of crystals, their proof lies in the results they see and experience.
When crystals can be beneficial to you, in real or as a placebo, what is the harm in relying on them, as long as you maintain an open mind?
Some powerful crystals for manifesting
The energy contained in the crystals differs based on how and where they formed. The pressure and temperature they had to endure during the formation process are keys to this. This means all crystals do not have the same energy. In other words. All crystals do not induce the same effect on you.

A step-by-step guide to manifesting with crystals
Step 1: Take care when choosing crystals
You have many choices to do this. You can either take the help of a gemologist to understand the benefits of various crystals or do it yourself by reading up on the topic. There is lots of information available at your fingertips online.
But before you do this, you need to be clear about what you are looking for. What are you planning to manifest? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your expectations from the gemstone?
Even after all this, you may be able to zoom in on the perfect crystal theoretically. Before you go ahead and buy one, you need to check it out in person. Hold the crystal in your hand and see how it makes you feel. When you have the right stone with you, you will feel, “This is it. This is the one for me.”
The visual appeal is also important when you are picking your crystal for manifestation. As soon as you lay your eyes on it, you would feel so enchanted by it that you will find it difficult to pry your eyes off it. The connection with the crystal has to happen on all planes.
Depending on your intuition to choose the crystal is not only for choosing between different crystals. Different pieces of the same crystal may have similar looks but the energy may be different. This means their effect on you will also differ.
Each piece of crystal is unique in energy and benefits. So, take your time to decide.
Step 2: Cleanse them before use
The basic nature of crystals is to emit positive energy into the environment and absorb negative energy from it. When you buy a new crystal, you are not sure of the toxic energy it contains. This depends on where it has been and who handled it.
If you start using the crystal right away, you may not find it as beneficial because of the negative energy creating blockages. You need to cleanse them of all negative energy and recharge crystals energy before going ahead with using crystals to manifest.
Some simple ways to achieve this are:
- Hold the crystal for a few minutes in running water.
- Leave it in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours.
- Light up sage or frankincense and leave the crystal exposed to the smoke.
- Smear the crystal with sage or similar herbs.
- Leave it in a room where high-vibrational music is playing.
Step 3: Decide what you want
This is the first step of manifestation. You may have many desires and dreams. But pick one out and focus on this one alone. You may choose another after your first wish is manifested. Stick with one goal at a time, at least in the beginning.
You may have already decided on your goal before you went crystal shopping. Because the crystal benefits for each one of the goals are different. The energy needed for the realization of your goal has to align perfectly with the energy of the gemstone.
It’s up to you to figure out which is the right crystal for each one of your desires. Even if you gain theoretical knowledge about this by reading, you get better at crystal selection with experience. By holding the crystal in the palm of your hand, you should be able to “read” it.
A helpful tip to getting this right is to clear your mind of negative energy as this can influence your choice. A short session of meditation is usually found helpful to achieve this.
Step 4: Make the crystal part of your life.
There are many ways you can use crystals for manifestation. You can wear it as jewelry or if it is a bigger stone, you can keep it on the nightstand and allow it to work its magic the entire night. Carry them in your wallet/purse or put them under the pillow. Hold the crystal in your hand when meditating.
Ultimately go back to your intuition and trust what it is telling you. Which of these methods feel right for you? Don’t overthink it, just go with what your subconscious mind is telling you.
Bottom line
Crystals offer you a simple and effective way to raise your vibrational frequency without having to work for it. However, you need to be careful about the origins of the crystal. Crystals take millions of years to form and everyone wants them. The combination of limited supply and high demand can make people resort to all kinds of fraudulent means.
Ethical sourcing of crystals is as important for you to derive benefits from it as who all have handled it before it reached you. Reputed sellers provide certification for the crystals they sell, detailing their history. Even if this hikes up the cost of crystals, it is worth the extra money.
