Unlock the Magic of Healing Crystals in 4 Easy Steps

In order to choose the right crystal for you, it’s important to really understand the nitty-gritty on how crystals work. Each and every crystal has its own unique benefits and holds its own energetic frequency based on its molecular structure. Crystals are mined from all over the world, and so different landscapes and climates will affect this molecular composition and the energies each crystal radiates.

To keep it simple, the energetic frequency of each crystal will connect with our own energetic pathways (also known as our aura or chakras), clear areas of stagnation, and heal us from the inside out.

At different points throughout our lives, we will connect with different crystals. Though no matter what you’re going through, there’s a crystal that will support you on a mental, physical, and spiritual level. The most important thing to consider when buying a crystal is that it’s ethically mined and sourced. While some crystals are more expensive than others, quality over quantity is definitely a rule to stick by.

The simplest way to choose your crystal would be to head to a local crystal shop or online store, take a look around, and see which crystal you are most drawn to. Touching different crystals will give you a good indication of which you instantly feel connected to.

For a deeper experience, use your journal daily to understand your pain points and desired areas of growth. Explore everything – what’s going on with your career, relationships, finances, and even your dreams. Identify where you might be feeling triggered, stuck, or even anxious, from there you’ll be able to assess what energetic support you need – and you can find a crystal that will give you just that.

A crystal on your desk may help you manage a stressful working environment. A crystal in your home will help to keep the energy flowing. A crystal in your pocket, bra, or bag can offer protection and support all day long.

To amplify the power of your crystals, you may choose to set up some self-care rituals or programme them with the energy of your intentions. While your crystals will still work without programming, this is just a simple way to deepen your connection to your crystals and get them doing what you want them to do. If you are looking to use your crystal to manifest, then programming it will direct the energy to where you need it to be.

Programming your crystal is so much easier than it sounds. You can meditate by holding your crystal to your heart, visualising or repeating your intentions out loud. Another simple method would be to write a clear list of manifestations and place it under your crystal. You could then leave both the list and crystal out to be charged by the sun or cleansed by the moon for an extra energy boost.

Connect with your crystal on a daily basis by telling it what you need, and soon enough, you’ll begin to experience its benefits.

While crystals radiate healing energy, they also act as a magnet, absorbing all of our heavy, stagnant energies as they clear our pathways and environment. It’s important that you regularly cleanse your crystals to keep that good energy flowing.

Try leaving them on the windowsill for a sun soak or a moon bath. Rinse them in the ocean or a body of water like a stream or lake. You can also bury them in the soil of your plants or your garden to allow the earth to renew and recharge its energy. The best time to cleanse your crystals is under the light of the full moon.
