Crystals to Tap Into Your Intuition

Crystals carry energetic frequencies that can help support you in tapping into your intuition. Here are some of the best crystals to help support you in learning to trust the voice within. Covered in this article is labradorite, Lemurian, lapis lazuli, sodalite, malachite, selenite, and amethyst. 

What is intuition?

Intuition is the inner-knowing that everyone has which guides and directs you through life. It is the wisdom of your spirit that is tapped into the web of existence. Your intuition helps you make decisions and move through different experiences from the mundane to the spiritual. 

Like emotions, intuition is not something that is static but moves through you like waves. Sometimes your intuition can be a loud sense or feeling of “do this now” or it may show up in subtle ways like a small inkling of what direction you should take or if you should trust a situation or not. 

This dimension of being human is vastly important to knowing yourself and deepening wisdom on your life’s journey. 

How do crystals help you tap into your intuition? 

Crystals are one of the tools you can use to give more space to this part of your being. They can open, awaken, support, and strengthen your ability to tap into the unseen aspects of existence. Intuitive development can also come with a variety of benefits including:

• Clearer decision making
• Self-knowledge 
• Strengthening inner-wisdom
• Visionary and psychic abilities 

And with that let’s get into the seven best crystals for intuition and how to work with them.
