Crystal Healing

Now that the collection of the gemstones is on a roll, let’s first learn how to clean/detox them and maintain the vibes within the crystals.

Choose, Cleanse, Charge & Maintain

To some extent, crystals are like people: you can tune into their energy, but they can also tune into the energies around them. As a result, whenever a crystal is handled, moved, or simply sits in the emotional milieu of your house, its vibrational energies may shift somewhat. It’s critical to regularly cleanse crystals to counteract this impact. Here are a few ways for the cleansing:

Moon: On a full moon, leave them outside or on a windowsill.

Water: Use the rain to wash them or a basin of salt water to clean them. (never cleanse any raw or natural crystal in salt, water, or saltwater)

Smoke: Smudge them with sage or palo santo. If you don’t have any, a candle will do!

Sound: Use a singing bowl (crystal or brass), ring it, and hold the crystals with the sound range.

Earth: Bury them for 24 hours. Energetic waste may be absorbed by the ground, reviving the crystal.

Use purifying crystals; you may place your crystals atop a selenite tower, which will cleanse their energy.

Kickstart the crystals for healing. Charge ’em!

After you’ve cleansed the crystal, hold it and close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Once you are in that place of calm and serenity, ask your crystal to drain off all the undesirable vibes and energy or prior intents or programming. “Programming” or dedicating crystals to a particular goal gives them strength. You can program newly cleansed crystals with intent. The intention is critical when dealing with energy. Crystals are ready to help you, but you must point them in the right direction. When you are vibrating at a lower frequency, your goals may get disorganized. When you reestablish the contact with your programmed crystal again, it will aid you in reconnecting with your goals and unlimited potential.

I would also suggest that we should discover which hand is for sending and receiving vibes. Now, the sending hand is the one you write with, as it moves the energy out of your body. The receiving hand that draws in the vibes.

I’ve experimented with a few different approaches for programming my crystals with a purpose (intention). Sharing the most effective ways here:

• Hold the crystal firmly in the palm of your receiving hand.
• Stand beside a window or in the sunlight. And say the following:
  “I commit this crystal for the greater good.
  I ask that it be used in the spirit of love and light.”
• After that, configure the crystal to meet your demands and specifications. This crystal can assist you with several issues related to work, self-care, health, and others! Imagine and feel what it would be like to achieve your objective while holding the stone in your hand.
• Once you’ve visualized your intent, finish the procedure by speaking the following.
  “I devote this crystal for the [your purpose].”
• Wearing your stones for seven days, I believe, is the most effective method of igniting their enthusiasm.

What is Intention?

When you are into healing energies, your intent to do so makes everything work. Setting objectives is a powerful approach to attaining joy and well-being because ideas generate vibrations throughout the universe.

The human mind is a powerful thing. Our thoughts, words, and actions affect what goes on around us. Having a goal in mind allows us to put our aspirations, goals, and fundamental values into context. It also assists us in avoiding negative thought patterns and enables us to live in the current moment.

Intentions can attract people, objects, and ideas. They are drawn to items that will help them realize their aspirations. Intention-setting is a powerful approach for improving one’s well-being. The first stage in developing an intention is to choose goals that align with your values, aspirations, and purpose.

You have to decide what you like to experience and say it aloud as if you have already achieved it. Instead of “I want to” or “I will,” make a statement starting with “I am [experiencing what you wish to feel].” These are also called affirmations. Always express your goals in the present tense, as if they are occurring right now, and only state what you desire. Also, make a note of your final objective or what you want your life to look like in the end. Don’t be a robot!

Storage and Safety:

Remember to clean your crystals at regular time intervals. Also, cleanse them when you buy new ones or use them for healing. This will maintain the purity of the vibes in the crystals. Crystals are fragile, so it is mandatory to handle them with utmost care. If you are a collector of gemstones or a healer, you can keep the crystals on you, at home or while traveling. Keep them in your pocket, a pouch, or an altar (if you have one). You can flaunt your collection by placing them on shelves or in a transparent box. Moreover, one can store those pouches in a plastic container to keep them away from sunlight and humidity.

Generally, crystals are pretty much safe. Many gemstones contain toxic minerals like aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, asbestos, or such. In the form of an elixir, stones containing such minerals is also not advised. One has to take proper precautions while handling or cutting these crystals. Here are a few that include the substances mentioned above:

How to select a Crystal and Use it?

Knowledge of which crystal is used for healing what kind of energy is essential. When you have many in your collection, it becomes tricky to choose just one or a few. This is what you need to do:

• Begin by defining your needs and what stones can do for you, and then look for solutions. This will help you identify what’s going on inside yourself before relying on external resources. Then you can rely on your instincts to guide you.
• Don’t forget to confirm your choice by referring to the crystals’ info and their characteristics in this book.
• While some crystals are more visually appealing than others, your inner subconscious will assist in directing you toward the one that is best suited for your needs. The connection can be made as soon as you identify it.

As for using these crystals, the simplest way is to put them on you and then meditate. However, there are other ways to use these crystals for healing, like wearing them as jewelry – rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. or making a crystal elixir, or just keeping the rocks in your bags or wallets.
