In a new light

Once considered woowoo, crystals have gone mainstream. Adele got hiccups when she lost her treasured hoard and black obsidian lines the catwalk at Victoria Beckham’s shows. And with selenite’s goodvibes-only rep, it’s no surprise that selenite lamps are lighting up wellness. ‘Selenite is a calming stone,’ says Roberta Boyce, an energy healer at London’s Buddha On A Bicycle. ‘Light diffusing through it can neutralise negative energy and balance emotions. Place a selenite tower (£23.99, thepsychictree.co.uk) near your bed and put it on an hour before bedtime to promote restful sleep.’

Selenite isn’t the only way to get lit. ‘Himalayan pink salt lamps (from £19.99, saltylamps.co.uk) can help boost energy levels and neutralise the effects of electronics,’ adds Boyce.
