What Crystals Work Best with Reiki?
Reiki and crystals are a beautiful match, both work with energy, intention, and the unseen layers of healing. When combined, they amplify each other, offering deeper alignment, enhanced clarity, and more focused healing.
So, what crystals work best with Reiki? The truth is, there’s no single answer. The best crystals are the ones that align with your current energetic needs, whether you’re seeking grounding, emotional release, clarity, or spiritual connection.
Here are some of the most commonly used and powerful healing crystals for Reiki:
1. Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is one of the most versatile stones and a perfect partner for Reiki. It amplifies energy, clears blockages, and enhances the flow of universal life force energy. Use it to cleanse your aura or charge other crystals before a session.
2. Amethyst
Amethyst is a beautiful purple stone known for its soothing and spiritually protective properties. It’s ideal for calming anxiety, quieting mental chatter, and opening the crown and third eye chakras. Perfect for clients seeking emotional peace or spiritual connection.
3. Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz radiates gentle, loving energy perfect for Reiki sessions focused on emotional healing, self-love, or grief. It helps open and soothe the heart chakra, allowing you to release emotional wounds with compassion.
4. Citrine
A bright yellow crystal full of solar energy, Citrine is great for uplifting mood, boosting self-confidence, and activating the solar plexus chakra. Use it in Reiki sessions when someone feels stuck, low-energy, or disempowered.
5. Black Tourmaline
This powerful grounding stone is perfect for protecting energy fields and clearing negativity. Placing Black Tourmaline near the root chakra or under the Reiki table helps clients feel safe, rooted, and energetically shielded.
6. Selenite
Selenite is high-vibrational and often used to clear energy, purify the aura, and connect to higher realms. It’s a beautiful stone to use at the start or end of a session to sweep through the energy field or activate the crown chakra.
How I use crystals during Reiki is by placing them:
Directly on the body, near chakra centres
Around the treatment table or under it
In your hands
Each crystal brings its own frequency, and Reiki knows exactly how to work with it. Trust your intuition when selecting stones often, the one you're drawn to is the one you need.
Crystals aren’t required for Reiki to be effective, but they can enrich your healing practice and deepen your connection to the energy. Whether you’re a practitioner or a client, incorporating crystals adds another sacred layer to the experience.
