12 Best Crystals for Self-Love

There’s Power in Loving Yourself

Love is the greatest source of power in existence. Love and the Divine are one and the same. Love makes life worth living. Living without love can leave a person drifting around in a zombie-like state, feeling only despair, pain, and misery. Sometimes we can’t depend on others to give us the love we may need in any given moment, so we must give love to ourselves.

When we don’t give ourselves love, how can we give love to others? Suppose you are a little car, and you happily take people wherever they want to go, right up until you don’t have a drop of fuel left. That’s when you can’t take anyone anywhere, not even yourself. So, you must fill your tank first, and your fuel must be self-love.

There’s Nothing Selfish in Self-Love

Our society often teaches us that it is somehow selfish to love yourself. Some people feel this so deeply that they think breathing is selfishly taking too much air from others, never mind that there’s plenty of air to go around! Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it is necessary. Self-care is one of the needed ingredients to live a joyful, fulfilled, happy life. Self-love is at the base of self-care. Just the act of focusing on yourself with loving compassion can be incredibly healing.

The world would be a sweeter, better place if we would give ourselves as much genuine, heartfelt love as we give to others. Think of a stone thrown into a pond and how the ripples expand out into ever-widening circles. When we are loving to ourselves, we are more loving to others, and this expands throughout our world, throughout the Universe, and into infinity.

Self-Love with Crystals

There are many ways to start practicing greater self-love. You can start by letting yourself do little things each day that you enjoy, such as reading a good book, chatting with friends, going for a walk, watching an old movie you love, getting enough rest, eating the right food for you, playing after your work is done for the day, or one of the best things is meditating with crystals.

Crystals can be wonderful in helping you focus on self-love. They carry their own special energy and will assist you in simple meditation or in creating self-love rituals. Here are some ways to use crystals while being extra kind to yourself:

• Keep a gratitude journal with your chosen crystals near you as you write your intentions and experiences in giving yourself more love.
• Place crystals around your home to empower you energetically with love and remind you they are holding your loving intentions for you.
• Wear your crystals as jewelry or carry your own special crystals in your pocket or purse so they can be close to you and support you all day long.
• Hold your crystals while you meditate and breathe your loving intentions into them so they can radiate loving energy right back to you.

Crystals for Self-Love Rituals

Crystals come in many forms, shapes, and sizes for you to choose from:

• Polished or raw
• Small stones
• Puffy heart shapes (Which is especially perfect for Rose Quartz.)
• Giant slabs
• Huge monoliths (Size doesn’t matter, only intention.)

To help you decide which of the many gemstones you may want to use for the practice of giving yourself greater love, here’s a list of the 12 best crystals for self-love:
