Crystal Basics: Getting Back to Basics – Tips for Using Crystals.

 

If you’re new to crystals, Crystal Basics should help to get you started right. And if you are an old hand at using crystals, you may find this information is a good reminder to check yourself against.

 

To effectively use crystals, you should start by aligning your intention with a chosen crystal, then cleansing and charging both the crystal and your own energy. You can then integrate the crystal into your daily life by placing it on your body, carrying it with you, wearing it as jewellery, placing it in your living or workspace, or using it in meditation and self-care rituals. Regularly cleanse and charge your crystals to maintain their positive energy, and always maintain a mindful, intuitive approach when working with them.

 

Before You Use a Crystal.

1. Set an intention:

Identify a goal or a specific area of your life you want to support, such as self-love, grounding, or creativity.

2. Select a crystal:

Choose a crystal whose energy feels aligned with your intention.

3. Cleanse the crystal:

Clear any residual energy from the crystal before use. Methods include:

Smoke cleansing: Pass the crystal through smoke from incense or herbs.

Sunlight or moonlight: Place the crystal in sunlight (for some stones) or under the full moon to charge it.

Burying: Burying the crystal in the earth for a time can also cleanse it.

4. Charge your crystal:

After cleansing, you can charge the crystal with your intention by holding it, focusing on your goal, and stating your intention aloud to dedicate it to that purpose.

 

Ways to Use Crystals.

Incorporate into meditation:

Hold your chosen crystal while meditating, or place it nearby to enhance your focus and connection to your intention.

Carry or wear it:

Keep a crystal in your pocket or wear it as jewellery to carry its energy with you throughout the day.

Place it on your body:

Position crystals on specific parts of your body or on chakra points to target specific healing or energy work.

Place in your space:

Decorate your home or workspace with crystals to create a positive atmosphere and align the energy of the space with your intentions.

Use in self-care rituals:

Integrate crystals into your bath or shower, or use them in conjunction with other practices like journaling or skincare.

Create a crystal grid:

Arrange multiple crystals in a specific pattern to amplify their combined energy and focus it toward a goal.

Always approach crystals with a respectful, mindful attitude to feel their energetic connection.
