Many meditation practices incorporate a crystal as a physical focal point — something to hold or rest nearby that supports a settled, quiet mind.
Crystals Traditionally Associated with This Intention
- Amethyst — traditionally the primary meditation stone.
- Clear Quartz — commonly used as an all-purpose amplifying stone.
A Simple Ritual
Hold amethyst in your lap or place it within sight during seated meditation, returning attention to it gently whenever the mind wanders.
