Using Crystals As Feng Shui Enhancements - Amethyst

Crystals make wonderful enhancements in Feng Shui. Not only are they great healing stones but they can attract positive and harmonious energy to any home as well as making stunning visual enhancements if used purely for decoration. In this series of articles I focus on some of the most popular crystals that are used in Feng Shui, starting in this article with the instantly recognizable purple crystal Amethyst.
Amethyst is well known for its ability to promote both love and wisdom. If you want to attract romance to your life, or enhance the relationship with your partner then you should place two amethyst crystals either in the relationship area of your home or your bedroom. The relationship area of your home is the area in the south west of your home. When using crystals for love, especially if you want to attract a partner, then I always think it is best if you create a display with the crystals rather than placing two crystals side by side. This is because quite often if you look at the two crystals sitting side by side you can be instantly reminded of what is missing in your life which can lead you to think negative thoughts rather than positive ones. It is much better to place the crystals as part of a larger display, perhaps two cherubs or angels each holding an amethyst crystal surrounded by flowers or a pair of candles. When creating a display in this area of your home always make sure every item is part of a pair.
If you are in a relationship, and want to ensure it stays strong, buy two amethyst crystals and  give one to your partner to carry whilst keeping the remaining one to carry yourself. You can also place one crystal at each side of the bed symbolizing the love you have for each other. Each night before you go to sleep take a few seconds to look at the crystal whilst thinking of a happy moment that you have both shared. This ensures that your last thought before you go to sleep is a happy one.
Amethyst can bring wisdom and a heightened sense of awareness. For this reason it is a good stone to place in your home office or the knowledge area of your home. The knowledge area is the area in the north east of your home. If you are studying for an exam or want to learn a new skill it is a good idea to place this in the room while you are studying or  carry an amethyst with you when you take the exam. As well as helping to bring wisdom amethyst crystals can also help you in making decisions so if you are currently faced with a difficult decision place an amethyst crystal in the knowledge area of your home and focus on it while you meditate. You are likely to find that you will suddenly find the decision is made for you, or the right decision becomes clear over the following days.
Whether you use amethyst crystals as a Feng Shui enhancement or to harmonise the energy in your home they are sure to make a beautiful addition to your home. To ensure they continue to enhance your home care for them well, touch them often and keep them out of direct sunlight. They will give you many years of pleasure.
