Whether considering crystals for an altar for the ancestors, or for work and community groups, it can be a grounding experience to integrate this action into your space. Acknowledging the past and creating a conscious visual acknowledgement begins the experience of differentiation from the past and separating it from the present. Crystals can support this intention and bring healing and building confidence component to it. Bringing the past into the present and focusing on it for future actions can create limitations to fulfilling the potential in the moment and future.

In the workplace crystals can be placed in the individual office or workspace, on one’s desk, or in the whole space. Considering these separate placements one would consider motivation or intentions one is hoping to enhance.
One’s Desktop
Placement of crystals on one’s desktop would focus on the individual needs. This area would reflect the core needs of the primary person who works and innovates at this desk. Some of the needs may be for focus, clarity, support, inspiration, confidence, empowerment, protection, mindfulness, clarity, wealth and abundance, dreams, goals, prosperity and more…….
In one’s office
In the office one would consider their personal needs in the workspace in relationships with the working community and clients. The needs for these two community groups would reflect interaction and productivity. The crystals would reflect the qualities to support communication, clarity, understanding, empathy, compassion, respect, protection, positivity, balance, connection, balance, understanding, prosperity, etc……
In the workspace

Amethyst – all three intentions; personal for desk and office, and grand workspace
The Crystals that would benefit networking and community would be those that support communication, connection, motivation and protection. The community life area sits between the elements of metal and water. The stones I chose to demonstrate for this area reflect those elements in shapes and colour. The first consideration is the value attributes in these examples. Once the attributes are chosen the second consideration is how the element’s reflection will enhance the intention of the group experience. If the group is out of balance aggressively, it would be recommended to add more stones with qualities to support calm, grounding and protection along with an increase in water elements, not metal. If a group needed more life and engagement the shape of fire would be recommended. To read more on the use of elements through crystal shapes scroll to the bottom of the blog post for the link.

Here are some crystals and stone influences that would support study and higher education. The motivation is setting an intention to manifest. The crystal placement is the expression of intention. The unique qualities of each stone has been tapped into for generations and by introducing them into your space aligns with these cultural patterns. This holistic approach is similar to the organic use of herbs, homeopathic remedies and Feldenkrais Somatic Function applications where each person is treated as an individual. This means the focus is on the individual’s needs balanced with the unique qualities of plant, homeopathic, and movement influences. With crystal influence the focus is on the qualities of the stones, one’s intention and somatic experience. It is an outside influence to stimulate mental, emotional and physical health and well-being. Plant remedies and homeopathic remedies would also be an outside influence stimulating one’s inner well-being. The crystal would be an outside stimulus while Feldenkrais for example has a focus upon an inner somatic felt sense and nurturing awareness.
Here are some crystal and stone suggestions for supporting someone on a learning journey. These provide support for the pursuits of education, wisdom and faith. If one is seeking the unique energy of these stones supports finding clarity. They help to ground the inner seeking energies to tap into what one is truly longing for. Commitment comes with tapping into what’s meaningful.

Read to end to find out the placement of these crystal and stone shapes
When choosing your crystals for healing, protections, support, meditation or encouragement the shape is significant. Shapes have been used since the birth of the human conditioning. They are reflected in every aspect of human development from the sacred to structure. In Eastern philosophies the shapes are associated with the elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood. In the cycle of creation; fire creates earth, earth creates metal, metal creates water, water nurtures wood and wood creates fire. If one is experiencing a lack of balance mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually these elements are used to bring balance.
When integrating crystals and stone influences the shapes can support the intention of your purpose for manifesting with them.
Some ways to use the shapes of crystals to enhance your intended experience with them
Fire Element
The fire element is reflected in a pyramid, sharp edged or flame like shapes. The shape is considered to be a yang or masculine energy. This energy adds a spark and inspires one to be motivated. In crystals it would be used to bring life to an idea, goals or area of life. If one needs energy in an endeavour this would be the shape to consider.
Earth Element
An earth element is a low, square shape. The shape is grounding and nurturing. This shape is beneficial for calming, nurturing and balancing. The intention can be for calming the environmental influences and mental, emotional, physical and spiritual experiences. This shape could be used to calm life down to create mindfulness.
Metal Element
A metal element is reflected in sphere shapes. This element reflects mindfulness or meditative state. This is the perfect shape to use in a space placements to create a calming and mindful experience.
Water Element
If the pyramid is yang,energies, water is yin or feminine energies. Water puts out fire therefore a placement for this element would be to calm a fiery space or experience down. Moving water reflects an accumulator of wealth and abundance while calm water reflects a calming state of mindfulness.
Wood Element
The wood element is a tall rectangular shape. It is connected with plants, flowers and animals and brings life to a space or experience. Wood creates fire therefore supports the inspiration and motivation of fire. If a space or experience is in need of life and activity this shape would be perfect. It is also used in healing practices.
Elements in the Crystal and Stone Qualities
Each crystal would carry the energies of these elements. It is not only the shape of the stones or crystals, it is the qualities it is the influences of their qualities. When reflecting on the qualities of the stones that have been used for centuries, consider the long term uses. They will hint at the elements. For example:
Meditation – Metal
Grounding – Earth
Aliveness – Wood
Spark/Inspiration – Fire
Intuition – Water
The photo of crystal shapes at the beginning of this blog post reflect the shapes Renee has in her wealth corner of her desk. There are a combination of reflections, such as protection, fire (even a double point called a herkimer), reflection, mindfulness, etc. These reflect a combination of intention, focus and manifestation. This combination reminds her of her 3rd dimension needs and reminds her of her spiritual aspirations to support something greater than herself.

Reflection of yin and yang balance (feminine and masculine energies)
Yesterday I shared an exercise to introduce a connection to mindful intention and action in one’s personal environment. It is the first tip of 31 created to cultivate somatic and mindful awareness.
In 2013 I wrote a little booklet to support an introduction for practicing techniques to ground and expand mindful connection using focused attention on the integration of intention with action. The purpose of these tips is to cultivate conscious awareness. One way you can bring your goals into reality is to consider these daily awareness techniques and actions to define your intention. Bring them alive by making time to manifest physical change in your living/working space. It takes a few minutes a day. Designed for slowing down and consciously pausing to reflect, notice and take actions. It is for creating your dreams and taking actions to make them happen that combines mindfulness and physical action to create your space of ‘success’. Each day for 31 days there is a short pattern or exercise to integrate in one’s environment to support change and connection!
Here is the second tip on day two for you to investigate and experience. Each January I follow this program to remind myself and reconnect to my space and things with intention and mindfulness.
Here is a pdf of exercise 2 for your enjoyment!
Leave a comment and share back how this exercise was for you. For me I felt pleased after doing this task that I have done numerous times before with no sense of joy, rather felt effort previously. The difference was the connection to my intention and purpose. It change the inner vibration in the action that began with a different mindset. My mind was refocused and the thought stories were of a higher vibration.
