Put them in a bowl. I like incorporating crystals into my living decor. An easy way to make a beautiful display is to place them in a bowl (or half a coconut like I did above). Set the bowl on your coffee table, a mantle, or anywhere you'll see them and be inspired.
Make a crystal grid. Crystal grids make for a great manifestation tool. Some tips:
- Decide on your intention and write it on a piece of paper. What is your purpose for this grid? What would you like to manifest?
- Create a sacred space to set up your grid. Add ambiance with music, candles, incense, flowers, small trinkets that hold meaning for you, photos that represent your intentions.
- Gather your favorite crystals or those that will most aid you in your manifestation and place them in a geometric pattern (Google "crystal grid templates" or try this blessings and health grid).
- Relax, envision your desire as if it has already happened. Hold that feeling.
- Meditate as long as you need, then say a prayer of gratitude.

Wear them around your neck. Keep your crystal's healing properties close to your heart. I wear pyrite to boost my creativity and facilitate lung healing. I also have a beautiful amethyst necklace I bought in Mexico that I wear to dispel anxiety and negativity. The rose quartz above is perfect for boosting self-love.
Place them by your computer or work station. Fluorite helps protect against computer emanations. I keep a piece of rough quartz and petrified wood (straight from my yard!) next to my computer. I don't know why, but the combination feels right. And when I found the piece of petrified wood I immediately felt calmer, braver, more productive. When I looked up its healing properties, sure enough, the stone facilitates strength and calmness.

Sleep with them. Tuck yourself in with a pouch of lavender buds and a few crystals under your pillow for a peaceful night's sleep. Use amethyst for sweet dreams and sodalite for its soothing qualities.

Carry them in your purse. Take your favorite crystal with you wherever you go. If you'd like a little extra moola in your wallet, tote citrine for prosperity and tiger's eye for good luck.

Make faery water. Place clear quartz, flowers, and sliced fruit inside a pitcher of water. Let sit for a day then enjoy a healing cuppa.
