20 Powerful Love Crystals for Relationships and Self-Love

Love cannot be forced – it needs to be nurtured gently and allowed to blossom naturally like delicate spring blooms. Love is not something you can explain in rational terms because it is different for each of us. In order to understand it better, you need to express and experience it every day. 

You can do this by cultivating love for yourself and for others. You can demonstrate love through your every thought, word, and deed. If you choose to infuse your life with love, you will enjoy greater happiness, fulfilment, and satisfaction. Your relationships will improve, including the most important relationship – the one you have with yourself. 

There are many love crystals that you can use to help you open your heart and develop self-love and fulfilling relationships, whether they be romantic, friendships, family bonds, or your relationship with the divine. 

Why Do Love Crystals Work So Well?

Crystals work on an energetic level. You can learn more about the science behind it in our first article in this series. Love crystals are no different. The energy of the individual stone can help to harmonize your own energy field. They can help to rebalance and cleanse the Anahata (heart) chakra, enabling you to give and receive more love. 

Of course, no crystal by itself has the power to fix a broken relationship or get you a date with your ideal partner, but crystals will help you to open your heart and clear blockages and emotional trauma, which in turn, assists you in healing your existing relationships and attracting the right people for new relationships to form. 

Using love crystals isn’t necessarily just about healing a marriage on the rocks or attracting a new romantic relationship. Family bonds are often hanging by a thread, happy yet stale relationships need some spice, and most of us could do with attracting more positive, balanced, nourishing friendships into our lives. 

The most important aspect is of course healing and nurturing our self-relationship and developing self-love and acceptance. And then there is the relationship we have with divinity/source/God/universal consciousness. All of this work begins with clearing and balancing your heart chakra, and luckily, crystals are excellent chakra cleansing tools. Let’s look at the top love crystals for heart chakra balancing, relationships, and self-love.

Self-Love and Healing a Broken Heart

How to Use Love Crystals 

Love crystals can be used in many ways, depending on the goal and desired outcome. 

Self-Love and Heart Healing Meditation

If you are using crystals for self-love and heart healing, lay down and place your chosen love crystals over your heart space. Imagine pink, green, or white light emanating from the stone into your Anahata chakra, filling your heart with loving energy. As you inhale, breathe this energy from the crystal into your body. As you exhale, sigh out any negative energy. You might like to see this exiting as a different color – brown, black, and dark gray are all common choices. 

New Love Visualization

Set yourself up for meditation holding your love crystals in your hands. Now visualize your ideal partner. Make the picture as detailed as you can – really see what the person looks like, how they are dressed, their gestures. Hear their words as they tell you all about themselves. See the two of you going on the perfect date and treating each other with love, kindness, and respect. 

You can even fast forward the movie and see yourselves in the future, happily married, with children, living in your ideal home, if these are things you want from a relationship. You can include whatever details you want in your visualization, just as long as they reflect what you want from a new relationship.

Once you have finished, your love crystals will have absorbed the energy and intention of your visualization. Carry them with you as you go through your daily routine and be open to new relationship possibilities. This means saying yes when invited out, being open to conversations with strangers, etc. Crystals are powerful but you need to do your part too!

Revitalizing an Existing Relationship

You can both wear an item of jewelry containing the love crystals of your choice. If your partner is open to it, you can do a meditation together, holding each other’s crystals and infusing them with love and devotion. When you wear the jewelry you will absorb your partner’s loving energy. 

If your partner is not open to using crystals, you can discreetly place crystals around the home in the rooms you spend the most time together. Choose the love crystals that hold the energy of what you need help with in the relationship.

For example, if you need help reigniting passion and sensuality, place fire agate, ruby, garnet, or Shiva lingam in the bedroom. If you need to work on honest and loving communication, place lapis lazuli or turquoise in the room where you have the majority of your conversations.

Conclusion
