Podcast: Play in new window | Download
It’s a common practice to make a resolution to better yourself each time the new year rolls around, but it’s even more common that after a couple of weeks into the new year, those resolutions get tossed aside and forgotten – just like the previous year. Would you like to try something new this year? Something that will change your life right away so that you’ll actually want to stick with it? Make a resolution to clear and balance every aspect of your life, and it will result in a year you won’t want to forget.
It’s a new year! And many would have you think this means it’s time for a new you. But… what if instead of a new you, you just gave the old you a little helping hand?
Here are the top 5 quick-fix ways to use crystals for the new year to help you get clear, cleansed, healthy, & balanced:
#1 – Clear Out Last Year’s Energy to Make Room for Shiny, New Year’s Energy
We all do it… I do it, and you do it. You carry things from your past into the future. Sometimes these things are good, like happy memories, but other times, you carry around things that don’t serve you going forward, like unresolved emotions. The New Year is a great time to start with a clean slate, so taking some time to dump your baggage is the #1 way to clear and balance your energy for the new year.
#2 – Cleanse Your Space to Welcome in Some Positive Vibes
Now that you’ve left your last year’s baggage in the past (where it belongs!), it’s time to cleanse your space of any energy that’s no longer serving your highest good. By allowing stagnant energy to linger in your environment, you’re inadvertently telling the Universe that you’re fine with outdated, dare I say, “Meh…” energy in your field. You need to clear this energy out of your space so that the Universe knows you’re ready for bigger and better things. Make way for positive vibes!

#3 – Clear Your Energy Field for a Positive Outlook
You’ve gone through our first 2 quick-fix solutions for a great new year and you’re on a roll! Our #3 tip is to use healing crystals to cleanse your energy field. There’s no sense in clearing out last year’s energy and cleansing your space just to be a big blob of energy that no longer fits in with the super positive vibes you’re creating. I recommend a quick-fix Selenite “energy sweeping” technique for clearing out any energy that’s not serving you in the new year.

Having a hard time keeping your vibes positive? Whether it’s your own negative thinking or bad vibes from others, sometimes negative energy is tricky to deal with.

#4 – Focus on Wellness & Self-Care
Many of us remember to do the simple things like routine energy cleansing, but when it comes down to energetic self-care, it’s easy to fall short. Quick and easy healing exercises are ideal (because you’ll actually DO them), but are they effective? Let me put it this way, is it better to do little exercises more frequently because they are quick and easy? Or is it better to put off self-care because you don’t feel like you have time, and then find yourself in an energy healing crisis because you’ve neglected your routine? If you’re like me, you know the answer…it’s always better to be doing something than to do nothing at all – especially when it comes to your energetic well-being.

What’s that? You like the idea of quick and easy, but this year, you’ve decided to make a REAL commitment to your energetic well-being…that’s great!
#5 – Be Proactive (and Preventative!) in Your Own Healing
By now you’ve read our top 4 quick-fix tips for clearing and balancing your body, mind, and spirit for the new year. Hopefully you have some great ideas on how to address anything that needed some healing. It’s great to address these issues as they come up, but the best way to tackle ookie vibes from creating havoc in your energy field is to stop them in their tracks before they ever affect you at all. The BEST way to do this is to act preventatively with energetic shielding (and crystals make great allies for this!).

If you’re like me, it’s not always the energy of others that you have to worry about. At times, I can be my own worst energy when it comes to energetic shielding. Being a healer means being compassionate. Most healers are “bleeding hearts” in this way and can inadvertently be affected by the energy around them. Does this sound familiar? Do you care about others to a fault? Do you consider yourself an empath? Does this often leave you feeling a bit drained? If so, don’t beat yourself up…it happens to the best of us. It just means that you need to focus a bit more on your shielding practices.

So… to re-cap, here are our Top 5 Quick-Fix Ways to Clear & Balance Your Body, Mind, & Spirit for the New Year:

Absolutely, Vicki! <3 <3 That's such a great way to go into the new year. We wish you the very best! Crystal blessings!
You mentioned raw selenite. Is there a difference between raw and polished?
Hi Paula! Raw & polished selenite will both work- we just feel that sometimes raw stones have a more potent energy while polished stones can have a more gentle energy. But feel free to use either! Crystal blessings! <3
