Need A Little Extra Luck or a Kick of Confidence? Crystals In the Car Can Do the Trick

Imagine having a safety shield around you — in addition to the driver assistance systems, steel cage and external safety systems like road rules and trained drivers. Even though all those systems are pretty good, you can’t ever be too safe. A well-chosen and well-placed selection of crystals can bring a sense of calm and good energy that those things can’t.

To get the most out of your crystals, it’s best to prep your car and ensure that where you leave them are safe, clean spots so they are secure while you drive. Vacuum your car, clean out the nooks and cubbies and make sure that anyplace you might want to leave a crystal is free from other things. You may also want to be sure that other things that may hide your crystals from visibility are removed. They need to let their spirit shine!

You can’t just drop loose stones wherever you like in the car. That can actually be dangerous as you don’t want stones flying around a moving car, cause a coffee cup to spill or safety equipment to fail. Look for places where a stone will be secure, ways to secure it, and if you hang crystals, make sure they won’t swing enough to hit someone if the car stops suddenly. 

And then, consider the crystals that will bring the most benefit to your ride.

We all have our little good luck charm that we are sure keeps the evil spirits at bay, and black obsidian may be it for your drive. Tuck a stone in your glove box or center console and let it do its thing.

Headed to the grocery store for lotto tickets? Hoping to get a great parking spat? Crossing your fingers that rush hour won’t be a mess of stress. Pack a bit of apatite in your center console or let it swing from the mirror. Everyone could use a bit more luck.

You never know what mood your passengers will be in when they get into your car; fussy littles can ruin a ride as easily as a crabby hubby or a grumpy mother-in-law. Selenite will help to create good vibes for everyone in the car so you are feeling positive and happy, too.

You might want to leave the house armed with some extra smoky quartz and hand it out to others on the road: that guy who’s red-faced and frustrated in dead-stopped traffic; the lady who dangerously zoomed past everyone in the parking lot; the construction flag person who has to deal with annoying people all day. Hand them a small smoky quartz crystal and tell them this will help turn negative energy into positive and you’re sure to get a smile in return.

This one should always hang form your rear view mirror so when you’re facing a tough merge or a tight parking spot, you can look into the tiger’s eye and know, you got this. 

If there’s one thing you want to feel when behind the wheel, it’s balance. And if there’s one other thing you want to feel, it’s love for those in the car with you and for those around you. In a small space and in traffic, both can be difficult, so having a crystal like rhodochrosite to up your game isn’t a bad idea.

Malachite is a good talisman for a new driver or one who needs a bit more confidence to get the job done, especially when driving in a new city or taking on new challenges like towing or driving an oversized SUV.

Many people find them calming and comforting to have around, and even just the suggestion that your car is fortified with a spirit-booster might be enough to create calm and confidence on your drive.
