Safety & Usage

Let's start off by looking at the ways you can use essential oils and supplements.

AROMATICALLY: Put 6-8 drops of an essential oil or a combo in your diffuser. The diffuser will send the oil into the air and fill the room with the scent and beneficial properties of the oils.
TOPICALLY: Apply essential oils to your skin. Dilute your oils with a carrier oil if using topically, especially if you’ve never used them before. It is recommended that you use one drop of essential oil with 10-15 drops of coconut, olive, or almond oil and then apply it to your skin. Citrus oils like Lemon are photosensitive. Please avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after application to areas where you have applied citrus oils topically. Avoid putting essentials oils in the eyes or ears directly.
INTERNALLY: Young Living oils are pure and are labeled as Generally Regarded as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of their purity, some people like to ingest their oils to avoid "smelling" like an oil, or to support their body from the inside out. Oils that are safe for ingestion carry our Vitality Oil label.
SUPPLEMENTS: Follow the directions on each individual supplement package for proper safety and usage.

Purity is EXTREMELY important when it comes to wellness products. When you use products that are pure, you will have more effective results. Products that are formulated with synthetic ingredients may not provide any results and can potentially cause damage to your body. Young Living goes above and beyond organic standards to provide natural products that work. YL farms on land without the use of pesticides, hand weeds their fields, and tests their essential oils multiple times in million-dollar labs to provide products with the purest and highest quality chemical constituents. If a batch doesn't meet these HIGH standards, YL will not bottle it up and send it to you.

History of Crystals

For centuries, civilizations have valued crystals for their beauty as well as for the special vibrational energies within each stone. While there is no scientific data to support the use of crystals for healing, ancient cultures used them to facilitate healing for the body, mind, and spirit.

Societies throughout history, including ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Greece, used crystals, for their healing properties. This practice continued through the ages, although it lessened during the Renaissance, when people believed the healing properties of crystals came from either good or bad angels.

The use of crystals for healing reemerged in the 1980s and continues to gain popularity as an energetic healing modality. In a modern age of science, however, it may be difficult to understand how a rock can bring about any type of healing. The answer can be found in the vibrational energies found within crystals and how they affect the energy fields all around them, including the human energy field.

All About the Frequency

Have you ever experienced a time when you did not “vibe” well with someone or you have gotten a “bad feeling” about someone? When this happens, you are sensing energy and recognizing that someone else’s energetic vibration isn’t compatible with your own. You don’t have to be an energy expert to experience this. It happens to all of us. WHY? Because every cell in your body has the vibration of life whether you are aware of it or not. Our vibrational energy is constantly changing based on our moods, behaviors, and even our surroundings.

This is why when you hang out with angry people they bring you down and happy people lift you up! Anger has a vibrational energy of 150 Hz where as Joy has a vibrational energy of 540 Hz. How crazy!

If science is your jam, you can google the quantum physics of it all. If you don’t have time for that, know that at its most basic level, all matter is made up of vibrating strings of electricity that can be measured as a frequency. When your cells are not healthy they slow down and have a lower frequency. When your cells ARE healthy they have a higher frequency.

Crystals vibrate at different frequencies depending on their matter, size, thickness, and color (light frequency). Essential oils also vibrate at different frequencies. We can take advantage of the vibrations from essential oils and crystals to bring our OWN frequencies up or down and rebalance our body.

So let’s dive in to see how you can use crystals and oils for your own benefit!

How to Use Crystals

It’s important to activate, charge, cleanse, and ground your crystals to receive the most benefits they can offer.

Cleansing

Your crystals will collect energy over time so it is important to cleanse them to put them back in a neutral state. Choose any of the options below to cleanse your crystals. Cleanse minimally every full moon, more often if you use them in your hands or pockets daily.

Use water to cleanse: If it’s raining, or you’re near a natural water source, this is perfect. Let your crystals be rinsed with water. If not, add a small palm full of pink salt or epsom salt to a bowl of water and let your crystals soak in the water for a few hours. (Do NOT wash Desert Rose or Selenite in water as they will dissolve! Research any other crystals to verify if they should be submerged in water or not.)
Use other crystals to cleanse: Place your crystals on or next to Selenite overnight to cleanse them.
Use essential oils to cleanse: Diffuse Palo Santo or Sage around your crystals to help cleanse them or you can spray your crystals with essential oils to cleanse and “feed” them. Add 20 drops of Cedarwood essential oil to a 2 oz bottle of water to cleanse and feed your crystals.

Activation and Charging

Once cleansed you can activate and charge your crystals to get the most out of their energies. It’s also helpful to change the intention of using the crystal. Like essential oils, one crystal can have many uses.

Place the crystal you wish to activate into your hand and set an intention for using this. Close your eyes as you breathe deeply and think about energy and white light from the universe surrounding your crystal to set the intention.

Grounding and Recharging

Lay your crystals on the earth or natural surface for about 4 hours.
Place them in direct sunlight. Be sure not to leave them in the sun for more than 4 hours.
Place your crystals in direct moonlight during a full moon.
If you can’t put them outside, place them in a windowsill and let them soak up the morning sun and then remove them from direct sunlight.

Usage

To use your crystals, simply carry them with you, place them beside you, lay them around your home, in your car, make little baggies with velvet or organza pouches to keep in your purse/ pocket/backpack, put in your pillowcase, next to the bed... really anywhere!

Oil & Crystal Pairings

Before we dive into specific crystals and essential oils that can be paired together, I want to introduce a few fun ways to use your oils and crystals together effortlessly.

Whimsy and Wellness offers a large collection of crystals for roll- on bottles. Some crystals are available to place inside the bottle and others are available as the actual ball that rolls the oils onto your skin. Either way, your essential oils are in contact with the crystal before it is applied to your skin which provides that extra umph.

Put On Love Designs offers crystal diffuser jewelry so you can use both oils AND crystals while looking and feeling beautiful. Apply a drop of essential oil to the leather pad that rests on the back of your neck and enjoy the benefits of the beautiful crystals.

While you’re stocking up on beautiful pieces, grab yourself a cute bag from Modern Makerie to store your oils and crystals in. They’re practical, yet adorable!
