Crystals For Men
“Man is what he believes.” ~Anton Chekhov
What type of man lights you up? For me, it is someone who is open and vulnerable yet confident and sturdy. Someone who is capable of empathy and tenderness when needed, but who also has that primal manly energy of warrior and protector. A man who can look at his life and know who he is, where he has been, and where he wants to go. How refreshing it is to find a man who isn’t afraid to admit when he is wrong, and looks at opportunities for growth as the blessings that they really are. Ah, glorious. Today, I’d like to share some crystals to support and celebrate all the amazing men out there on their spiritual journey.
Crystals carry the energies that interact and harmonize with the forces of nature. Men are often overlooked when it comes to crystals. Anyone who thinks crystals are just for women is sorely mistaken. In ancient times, jewelry was worn by men, and for very good reason. Male warriors and rulers wore crystals to protect themselves and rise to their greatest potential. Today, once again, men are embracing crystals and their healing properties. Many male celebrities like Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt are being seen with crystal bracelets and other adornments. There are some crystals whose healing properties work especially well with sacred masculine energy. Let’s explore these crystals!
Green Tourmaline- This green crystal of varying hues is said to be the number one, most important power stone for men! Green Tourmaline promotes inner strength, confidence, and willpower. It is also a remover of emotional blockages, revealing your best self. It helps you “see with the heart” and become open to the miracles of life. This “growth crystal” powerfully conducts the earth’s life force energy, renewing the wearer.
Malachite- This is a bright green crystal that is opaque green with swirls of darker green running through it. It is a beauty! Just like Rose Quartz is used for women to attract love, malachite is thecrystal to attract love for men. This stone is great for emotional awareness, leading to heart opening and love. It also boosts confidence and gives strength to deal with the constant changes and transformation in life.
Tiger’s Eye- This fiery yellow and brown stone is a favorite of many. It helps you to be brave, decisive, and assertive. Tiger’s Eye helps you look into the eye of the beast and overcome your fears! It gives you bold energy and courage. Great to welcome confidence, willpower, and focus into your life.
Bloodstone- Resonating with the root and heart chakra, this stone brings both physical and emotional strength. It is about vitality, rebirth, and invigorating energy to help one thrive. This brings new perceptions that lead to growth and new beginnings! Health and overall wellness are strengthened. Known as “Christ’s Stone,” it can give solace to all who give freely of themselves for the good of others. Helps prevent burnout.
Black Onyx- This jet black beauty is known for its potent protective powers. Interestingly, it is also renowned for being a great way to channel energy, making it an awesome stone for healers to use. It offers powerful vibrations of willpower and focus. It is said to spark motivation for forward momentum in life, illuminating pathways to wisdom while removing worries. By carrying or wearing onyx you will have a force field shield up that protects you from attachment of negative energies.
When searching for crystals to assist you on your path, look for any stone you are naturally drawn to. Usually these are the crystals your body wants to work with! It is fun to then research the stone you chose and see how it resonates with you.
Men deserve sacred spaces and time for sacred practices. Their divine energy is something to be celebrated and nurtured. Connection to the divine makes everyone more centered, present and clear. These things are not just for the feminine. So men, make time in your life to honor your divine masculine energy. Even if it is just in a few simple practices. Consider it a gift to yourself and humanity. You are especially worthy of your time and attention. Enjoy the journey!
