Nightmares are a part of the sleeping experience that we've all had to some point. They have the potential to induce discomfort and terror in our waking lives and can be quite uncomfortable. When nightmares occur frequently, we may develop a phobia of falling asleep. Here are a few exceptional stones that can greatly assist with nightmare protection:

Meditate with your smokey quartz before going to sleep and set your intentions within the crystal, asking its energy to provide you with a safe and peaceful slumber.
Black Onyx:
Often, nightmares are caused by anxieties present in our waking lives, Black Onyx can be a true companion in this case. Known to be a strength-giving stone, it alleviates overwhelming fears and worries that can lead to the manifestation of nightmares. Black Onyx can also help heal the mind of negative emotions or experiences that cause mental discomfort while offering protection from negative energies that might otherwise amplify states of anxiety.

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your house. It is where you nourish yourself, and is a great place to stimulate the mind and its creative potential. Not only will they add a beautiful touch to your kitchen décor, but they will help inspire you to feed both your body and soul.
Carnelian is an uplifting, energizing crystal, so it’s a great one for increasing your creativity while you’re whipping up a feast. Oh, how I love carnelian!

4: Crystals for Entryway: Black tourmaline, Clear Quartz, Black Obsidian
In feng shui, the main entrance to your home is how energy, people, and opportunities come into your house and your life. For this reason, it is important to protect the main door of your home to shield your house and its inhabitants from negative energies and unwanted visitors. It’s generally recommended that a strong protection stone be placed just outside of the door to your home so that it washes the negative energy off of you before you even step inside, and adding a clear cleansing crystal on the inside of the entryway. If this isn’t possible, placing both above (or near) the inner frame of your door is an option.
Black tourmaline: Black Tourmaline is a powerful protector that grounds a space and clears it of all negativity. It is definitely one of the best crystals to place by the front door. With its strong healing vibrations, it can easily clear negativity from your living space. To promote positivity in your environment, you can also place it on windowsills or in each corner of the home. Another great way to benefit from Black Tourmaline’s properties is to put it near your electronic devices to protect your home (and yourself!) from electromagnetic pollution.
Clear Quartz: Clear Quartz is one of the most versatile crystals of the mineral kingdom. Known as the Master Healer, it can be used to heal all sorts of ailments. It absorbs, regulates, and releases energy from the environment. It can also work to amplify the effect of other crystals.
Black Obsidian: Black Obsidian is one of the most powerful stones for cleansing the home from negative energies. It helps create a safe space inside the home while protecting the outside area. If you place it by the main entrance of your house, it will form a shield against negativity and block psychic attacks from entering your home. Another great benefit of Black Obsidian is that it absorbs negative vibrations from the environment, protecting you against electromagnetic smog.
5: Wellness in the Workplace: Malachite, Aquamarine, Tiger’s Eye
It is important to have a serene work environment to feel content and fulfilled since this is the place where we spend most of our time. The physical space we work in also needs to resonate with well-being with lots of light and proper furnishings along with the removal of cyber “smog” which is found in the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) coming from our computers, cell phones, and other machines.
Malachite is a stone of transformation. Its energy goes straight to the heart, demanding that you face and feel unresolved issues. It forces you to deal with whatever is bothering you so that any stuck or stagnant energy can be released, allowing you to move forward and let the past go. Malachite is a wonderful crystal ally for times when frustration arises at work, whether it’s in regards to a particular job assignment or a coworker. Festering frustration and unresolved issues keep your energy bogged down, which muddies your aura and affects your beauty.
Aquamarine, Ancient lore touts aquamarine as a stone that restores youth and beauty. Said to be the treasure of mermaids, it is strongly linked with the calming, soothing energy of the ocean. When you feel relaxed and vibrate in radiant health, the cells in your body are vibrating at their peak potential.
Aquamarine has a special connection with water, vibrating with the energy of fluidity. Keeping it close to you during your workday helps to keep your energy body feeling revitalized.
Tiger’s Eye This stone helps keep things flowing and focused. Very effective in eliminating the scattered brain, Tiger’s Eye allows us to make confident decisions. In fact, it works from your power center, the Solar Plexus (or third chakra), the seat of self-esteem and confidence.
On a monetary level, the name itself resonates with the nature of vision: guiding the direction towards profits in your business endeavors.
Enjoy decorating your space with a variety of beautiful crystals that can complement and stimulate your surroundings both visually and energetically!
