Increase Your Vibration with a Beach and Crystal Vacation! Part 3
Connect to the Earth with Beach Grounding
The beautiful white powder sand on the beaches of Boracay and Palawan, Philippines was a comfortable treat for grounding my feet. While on a beach vacation, I definitely recommend you go barefoot on the sand and ground your energies into Mother Earth as often as you can! Walking along the shoreline is also beneficial, as having your feet immersed in salt water while walking barefoot on the sand boosts your grounding experience exponentially!
After going on multiple boat and kayak rides in Palawan and Boracay, I would feel slightly off-center depending on the length of time I was out at sea. When I returned to land, I would ground myself with crystals and intentional meditation to get myself balanced again. If you will be partaking in water activities during your vacation, the water itself will help ground you if you are immersed in it. If you will be inside a boat however, consider holding a grounding crystal or doing a quick mental grounding exercise (as noted in the meditation I gave in Part 2 HERE).
More Crystal Tips & Vibration Vacation Suggestions
1) Banish Anxiety
If you will be participating in any new adventurous activities that you haven’t tried before, consider carrying amethyst with you to remove any feelings of fear. I recommend amethyst because of it’s moh’s hardness and sturdiness if exposed to salt water.
During my recent vacation, I was able to go snorkeling, jungle hiking, kayaking and hobie cat sailing for the first time. I was surprised at myself for being so “fearless” in Palawan! During my second snorkeling attempt and hike through the tropical jungles of Palawan, I put a small amethyst point in my bikini top’s inner pocket. The portal energies of Palawan, along with my inner quest for new adventures, plus the amethyst’s calming energies, helped me overcome any fears during my trip! Usually I’m always scared to try new things and I was surprised with myself!
If you don’t plan on only partaking in land activities instead, like zip-lining, off-roading, hiking or horse back-riding, you can also consider carrying a tumbled stone of lepidolite or lithium quartz which are excellent at reducing anxiety. Wearing jewelry of these pieces could work too, just as long as they aren’t too long or loose and won’t snag.
2) Bug Bite Banisher
Mosquito and bug bites are common during a tropical vacation, but they are also a nuisance. To minimize swelling and itching from existing bug bites, I placed Blue Lace Agate and Rose Quartz over the bites to provide cooling and soothing energies. Along with directed Reiki energy and crystal healing, I noticed I was able to speed up healing for my affected bite areas! I also incorporated my Lemurian Quartz crystal (which you’ll see soon below) to direct the uncomfortable energies out of my bug bites. Just point the tip upwards over the affected bite area.
I also would set a mind intention energy force field around me using white light and ethereal crystal energy of black tourmaline and selenite. I set an intention that bugs would not be allowed to land on me and bite me. Interestingly, I would activate this field often and any bites on me were minimal and would heal quickly. The one time I actually forgot to intentionally set a protective field around me, I ended up with 11 bites. Makes me believe the force field intention can really work for you if you put your mind to it!
In addition, I created a essential oil bug banisher spray to help protect me from bites.
Here’s the recipe for my Bug Banisher Spray:
1 – 3oz travel sized mister bottle. (*I purchased mine in the travel essentials section of Bed Bath and Beyond.)
3 drops – Lemongrass essential oil
3 drops – Peppermint essential oil
3 drops – Lavender essential oil
*Fill the mister bottle with spring water and add the essential oils. Spray liberally on your skin before going out and rub it in.
3) Simplify Your Crystal Travel Kit
I had to travel on small airplanes to get to these remote islands in the Philippines and their weight restrictions were quite strict (10kg)! I carried a small luggage with all my belongings, so I had to limit the amount of crystals I brought in my travel pouch since it contributed to the total weight. Because of that, consider carrying small tumbled stones and take one crystal relating to each chakra if you can.
Here are a few crystal list examples of what you can bring depending on the type of vacation you’ll be taking:
Lemurian Water World Set
Here is a set without toxic element limitations that have a high moh’s hardness in case you plan on going into the water with your crystals:
1 – Lemurian quartz point
1 – amethyst
1 – Lemurian aquatine calcite / aqua calcite
1 – rose quartz
1 – rutilated quartz or citrine
1 – carnelian
1 – red jasper
Lemurian Islander Set
Here’s a fun set if you don’t plan on doing any water activities:
1 – Lemurian quartz point
1 – lepidolite
1 – aquamarine
1 – malachite
1 – tiger’s eye
1 – sunstone
1 – Lemurian black jade
Atlantis Connection Set
A crystal set if you plan on having a Caribbean vacation:
1 – small Scepter Quartz wand
1 – sugilite
1 – larimar
1 – atlantisite
1 – pyrite

Overall, carry what you feel you need. Follow your intuition and consider bringing some essential oils too! The Lavender and Peppermint essential oils I brought for my homemade mosquito spray were perfect to use too when I wanted to relax or energize myself.
*Now, if I could only bring one crystal on my trip, I would bring my Lemurian Quartz crystal to ancient Lemuria! You can meditate with it and use it as an overall healer by directing the point as needed. See my baby below:
