Tips on How to use your crystals
Crystals have been used for centuries for their healing properties and spiritual benefits. Here's how to use your crystals:
Believe and buy - Most people are drawn to the crystal/s required for them at the time, simply by the aesthetics - so go with it! When choosing a crystal if you cup your hand and place the crystal in the palm of your hand, and the other hand around 2-3 inches above it, you should be able to feel the energy or heat coming from the crystal.
Cleanse your crystals - Cleanse your crystals before use to remove any negative energy. You can cleanse them by placing them in sunlight, moonlight, or by smudging them with sage. You can also cleanse some with filtered water, however be careful has there are some that are porous and not water safe such as Fluorite, Selenite, Apophyllite,, Lepidolite, Opal; Azurite, Apatite, Halite, Malachite, Turquoise, Labradorite; Celestine; Pyrite; Hematite
Choose your crystal - Choose a crystal that resonates with your intentions. Do some research on the different properties of each crystal and choose one that aligns with your goals.
Set your intentions - Before using your crystal, take a moment to set your intentions for what you hope to achieve with the crystal's energy. This could be for physical healing, emotional balance, or spiritual growth.
Hold or carry the crystal - Hold or carry the crystal with you throughout the day to reap its benefits. You can also place the crystal on your body (in your bra, purse or pocket) or under your pillow for healing. The closer the crystal/s are to you the better!
Meditate with the crystal - Meditation with your crystal can amplify its energy and enhance its effects. Hold the crystal in your hand or place it on your body during meditation. You can also place a number of crystal in a circle around a candle, and meditation for 10-15 minutes on the arrangement.
Pace on an effected part of the body - Use a crystal which is a similar colour to the chakras located near the affected part of the body. Crystals are no alternative remedies but can help ease issues. Such as a purple amethyst place on the 3rd eye or forehead can help ease a headache or migraine.
Recharge the crystal - Crystals can become depleted of their energy over time, so be sure to recharge them regularly. You can recharge your crystal by placing it in sunlight or moonlight. The full moon is also the perfect time for cleansing and charging your crystals, so make sure you put them outside or on a window place so they can soak in the powerful lunar energies.
Remember to be patient and open to the process. Crystals work in their own time and can have subtle effects. Trust in their power and allow yourself to experience their benefits.
