As we enter 2024, many of us are seeking ways to improve our wellbeing and bring positive changes into our lives.
Incorporating crystals and incense into our daily routines in 2024 can significantly enhance our overall wellbeing.
Crystals, with their historical significance and various properties, can serve as focal points for setting intentions and personal reflection. Similarly, the use of incense, which has been part of cultural rituals for centuries, can transform our living spaces into a soothing sanctuary that helps reduce stress and promotes a peaceful atmosphere.
Together, these tools can help approach the year with a sense of balance, positivity, and active investment in change.
Let's look at some different crystals and incense that will make the start of the new year even better.
Best Products for Positive Energy
- Crystals: Citrine is known as the 'stone of the sun', believed to radiate positive energy and joy. Another such crystal is orange calcite, which always raises the vibrations in our spaces with its glowing orange color.
- Incense: A classic choice for invoking positive energy into your life is definitely Palo Santo. You can also try sweetgrass, whose positive effects are also known to Native Americans.

Best Products for Protection
- Crystals: Black tourmaline is known for its grounding and protective properties - it effectively protects us from negative energy, so it's good to carry it with you at all times. A popular choice is also tiger's eye, which not only protects but also fills you with inner strength.
- Incense: The best choice for protecting your home and yourself is definitely white sage, as it has the power to remove accumulated negative energy from spaces, people, and objects. One of my favorite incense for this purpose is also cedar, which was traditionally used to smudge temple doors to prevent negative energy from entering.
- Other Products: In recent months, we've been surrounded by many different energies, so I've often reached for the protective ritual salt, which I use as a scrub before starting each day to protect my energy. Before leaving home, I never forget to spray myself with Agua de Florida, which Peruvian shamans also use for protection.

- Incense: Cinnamon combined with white sage will not only attract abundance but also cleanse the space and prepare it for changes. Prosperity is also attracted by pine incense, which is also suitable for housewarming gifts.
