Crystals have long been regarded as more than mere stones; they are living conduits, luminous gateways to realms beyond ordinary perception.

Within their colors, patterns, and vibrations lie portals into memory, mystery, and echoes of past lives. Through these sacred stones, one can step beyond the veil of the present and glimpse the stories of who they once were and where their soul has journeyed.

This practice is known as Psychometry – the art of holding an object and receiving visions through its energy field. With patience and openness, crystals become sacred tools for exploring the landscapes of past lives, awakening memories long hidden within your soul.

The stones listed below offer a starting point, though intuition should always be your guide. Wander through a crystal shop and allow your spirit to be drawn. The stone that calls to you carries exactly the vibration your journey requires. From the smallest shard to the grandest geode, each crystal holds the potential to awaken memory and insight.

Begin simply. Choose one or two stones as a focal point. Hold them in your left hand – the hand of intuition – or cradle one in each palm. Allow their colors and energies to harmonize with your own.

Zebra Stone

Black and white for balance of nurture and action (zebra stone).

Meditation Tip: Hold the zebra stone and visualize your past-life strengths and challenges, bringing balance between your nurturing side and active pursuits.

Tourmaline

Blue and green for harmony of mind and heart (tourmaline).

Meditation Tip: Visualize the energy flowing between your heart and mind, healing past-life emotional wounds and restoring inner harmony.

Lace Agates

Blue, pink, and purple for inner calm, peace, and emotional harmony (blue lace agate).

Meditation Tip: Hold lace agates and imagine a soft pink-purple light enveloping your past-life selves, soothing and harmonizing each incarnation.

Tri-Colour Jasper

Red, orange, and yellow for courage on a solitary path (jasper).

Meditation Tip: Imagine each color igniting your inner courage, guiding you through past-life lessons where you walked alone but strong.

Amber

(Amber)

This 50 million year old tree resin comes in colors of orange, yellow and brown, and will contain plants and/or insects remains.

Because of its great antiquity and soft, warm touch, it is said to contain the power of many suns, and so has the power to absorb negative rays along with protecting us from harm.

In the Chinese tradition, the souls of tigers were said to pass into amber when they died, and so, it is also a stone of courage.

Amber, due to its age, is the perfect stone to hold and concentrate on a past life, for amber has seen numerous eras. It will open up your mode of curiosity, bring courage to pursue the journey, and will protect you emotionally if envisioning an unpleasant moment. 

Meditation Tip: Feel the golden warmth of amber, letting it absorb past-life fears while revealing hidden courage and wisdom.

Amethyst & Sodalite

Violets and indigos of the mineral world – stones of intuition (amethyst & sodalite).

Purple crystals and dark blue minerals are good, general psychic stones for first going inwards and then journeying back through time.

Meditation Tip: Quiet your mind and let visions arise naturally, connecting with intuition and past-life insights.

Jade

Ancient talisman of rebirth (jade).

Jade goes back to neolithic times. Is is especially valuable in past life work, since in the Orient Jade was associated with reincarnation. A piece of Jade on the eyelids or in the mouth of the dead was thought to ensure the spirit would return for another life on earth.

I recommend that you only hold your piece of Jade, to explore past lives. 

Meditation Tip: Visualize doors opening to memories of past incarnations, feeling the wisdom of your soul across lifetimes.

Jet

Fossilized wood connecting you to ancient energies (jet).

Jet in an organic gem, that being fossilized wood that has been turned into a dense form of coal, and like the amber is of great antiquity.

Because it is such an ancient stone, it has many magical uses as a doorway into other dimensions, especially the past, and in divination for increasing psychic powers - a nice added bonus for a past life exploration.

Meditation Tip: Feel the dense vibration connecting you with forgotten lifetimes, enhancing psychic sight and protection.

Lapis Lazuli

Stone of gods and kings (lapis lazuli).

Lapis has been used for over 6,000 years. The Sumerians believed it contained the souls of their deities, and as such, would endow them with magical powers. The stone is considered powerful in aiding psychic awareness and combining unconscious wisdom with the conscious powers of the mind. Lapis, as does Sodalite, is a good mineral to first look inward on your past life journey, to help relax you keep your mind open.

Meditation Tip: Merge unconscious knowing with conscious clarity, allowing divine wisdom to guide past-life recollection.

Moonstone

Stone of lunar intuition (moonstone).

Moonstone is believed to absorb the powers of the moon and from the earliest of times, this stone has been (and still is) used in Moon Magic. And for this reason, it is especially effective for past life work by moon light - as some past life workers prefer.

Please note: The moonstone will at times contain what appears to be fossillized insects, but are in fact inner cleavages similar to rutile quartz, and are also said to be sources of inner wisdom.

Meditation Tip: Meditate by moonlight to enhance dream recall and intuitive insight into past-life events.

Clear Quartz Crystal

The master key of clarity (clear quartz).

The clear crystal stone is perfect for clear vision and will break through barriers of time as well as doubt. Many prefer to begin with a clouded white quartz or even a soft pink rose quartz for a gentler path. Novices in past life work would be better set if using the clouded quartz or soft pink rose quartz until experience is gleaned where you are more comfortable with your visions.

Meditation Tip: Focus your intention to cut through illusions, gaining clarity and vivid past-life recollection.

Rose Quartz

Stone of love and compassion (rose quartz).

Rose quartz is a crystal of love, so it can help to make your past life experiences positive.

Meditation Tip: Let rose quartz surround you with unconditional love while exploring past-life emotional connections.

Rutile Quartz

Threads of light connecting spirit and memory (rutile quartz).

Rutile quartz, according to tradition, contains angels. This is the quartz associated with inner wisdom, and comes not only in the more usual golden threads within the white crystal, but with green, yellow, and brown threads. These last three forms can be especially effective if you are performing your past life regressions out of doors, as some of you might prefer.

Meditation Tip: Use outdoors under the sky to bridge realms, channeling inner wisdom through radiant golden filaments.

The journey through these crystals is more than a meditation or ritual—it is an intimate conversation with your soul across time. Each stone carries unique frequencies, colors, and energies that awaken the whispers of memory, guiding you through experiences, lessons, and gifts collected across multiple lifetimes. Through patience, focus, and reverence, you may glimpse the paths your soul has walked, the choices made, and the growth achieved. Let the stones anchor your exploration, let your breath be your guide, and let the stories of your past illuminate the present. The crystals are your companions, your mirrors, and your keys—walk gently, with trust, and the hidden corridors of time will open before you.
