Crystal Points

In Feng Shui, a crystal point is thought to bring great harmony and strong luck to the beholder. Crystals are believed to emanate a force to bring good luck and great balance into the environment. A standing crystal with a single point is also called a Generator. It is an excellent tool to aid focus and clarity of intention. It is also a tool often used in healing to direct where the luck or energy should move. Pointed inward, it channels energy to your body. Outward, it draws away energy. A pointed crystal maximizes the stone’s healing properties.

Placements according to the Feng Shui Bagua 8 Aspirations formula, a theory practiced to try and influence the outcome of life are:

1. The Southwest sector, the corner of marriage and love: aids those looking to attract a lifelong partner or assist the presence of everlasting harmony in an existing marriage.
2. The Northwest sector, the zone of mentor luck: is thought to attract a benefactor or mentor to guide you on your way to your next stage of success in life.
3. The Northeast sector - invites education luck and enhances your mental capabilities to enable success in all your pursuits.
4. The center - strengthens the harmony between your entire household and family.

Popular among students, crystal points are supposed to bring you luck and success in your studies. A common practice is to hold a crystal point when you are studying and during an exam to help to clear, focus and energize your mind, bringing you answers more quickly and with more accuracy. People who use crystals in this way believe that each crystal becomes attuned to their owner’s energy and that you should not use a crystal belonging to someone else.
