Learn how to incorporate meditation sets and crystals into your yoga routine for deeper focus and relaxation. Step-by-step guide with product tips.
Quick answer
Use a meditation set like Chill Out or Palo Santo & Lavender to create a calming pre-yoga ritual, then place crystals nearby during practice to anchor your intention.
Why combine meditation sets with crystals
Meditation sets provide ready-to-use tools like sage, palo santo, and candles that help shift your mind into a relaxed state before yoga. Crystals like amethyst (included in the Chill Out set) add a focal point for concentration and can be held during balancing poses.
Step-by-step guide to using meditation sets and crystals with yoga
- Set up your space: Place your meditation set items (sage, palo santo, candle) and chosen crystals near your yoga mat. Light the soy candle or smudge stick to signal the start of your practice. Avoid lighting the candle too close to your mat – keep it on a stable surface at least 2 feet away.
- Cleanse the area: If using the Palo Santo & Lavender set, light the stick and let it smoke for a few seconds, then wave it around your mat and body while setting an intention for your practice. Don't hold the smudge stick too close to your skin – the smoke can be hot. Keep a fire-safe dish nearby.
- Place crystals for focus: Set an amethyst from the Chill Out set at the top of your mat or hold it in your palm during seated poses. Its calming energy can help steady your breath. If you drop the crystal during a pose, don't stop – simply pick it up after the sequence to maintain flow.
- Incorporate into breathing exercises: During pranayama (breath work), hold the crystal in your non-dominant hand and focus on its texture. Let the scent of the candle or smudge anchor your inhales and exhales. Avoid gripping the crystal too tightly – keep your hand relaxed to match the breath.
- End with gratitude: After savasana, extinguish the candle or smudge stick. Thank the tools for supporting your practice, and store the crystals in a clean cloth until next use. Never leave a burning candle or smudge unattended – extinguish completely before leaving the room.
