How to Use Crystals

CHOOSING YOUR CRYSTALS:

Decide why you need a crystal and select one accordingly. Or see which crystals you “notice” and are drawn to. The energy of these crystals can complement and heal your own energy, so this can be a good choice. See which crystals you naturally “don’t like” too. These will bring deeper healing.

CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS 101:

When a crystal needs energetic cleansing, you will be able to see it. It won’t be as sparkly and bright, and maybe the color will be different. Perhaps it feels heavier, or even a little bit sticky. (Keep in mind, there is no difference between good and bad energy- just energy that isn’t yours.)

Cleansing techniques include (but are not limited to): Brushing with a soft brush, Soaking in water, Leaving underneath the moonlight, Burning incense or sage, Burying the crystal during a full moon and unearthing on a new moon, Using other cleansing crystals, Making energy moving sounds (chanting, drumming, playing Tibetan bowls), Leaving underneath sunlight (caution: quartz crystals can be a fire risk), Reiki cleansing.

HOW TO USE YOUR CRYSTALS 101:

Beginner:

Simply carry the crystal with you throughout the day. Hold it in your hand, and feel the slight difference in energy when you hold it and put it down. Wear them as jewelry, or place them under your pillow.

Intermediate:

Place a crystal on the according to chakra, and feel the energy from the crystal rebalance the energy center. Start with one crystal, one chakra. Then, try multiple chakras at once, and finally multiple crystals per chakra.

Advanced:

Prepare a crystalline elixir to drink or use topically. (Be cautious which crystals you combine, which ones you combine with water, and which ones you consume!) Feel the crystal’s energy and absorb/reflect it through your chosen energy center. Finally, focus your energy as well as the crystals to heal from a distance. If you are familiar with Reiki, you may use it here as well.
