CRYSTAL HEALING
Crystals can transform the energy in a space. Have you found that at times despite your best efforts at keeping your rooms clean and well illuminated, your spaces remain unwelcoming? Something feels off about such a space. The answer may be adding some crystals. When you feel space is always somewhat 'heavy' and never blesses you with good vibes, you should consider what energies have been released there. Arguments, stressful events, breakups, parties, death, exercise, grief and any other life events leave all manner of energies in your home. You should be eliminating such negative energies with high vibe crystals.
Crystal healing holds that the magic of crystals derives from their structural compositions. It's believed that the energy of the crystal flows through the geometry of the stone and that different crystals produce various healing energies. Under pressure, they generate energy and we can use them to identify, raise, and direct energy to a targeted source. Crystals can be programmed "attuned" to receive, absorb, and transfer emotions. You can attune your crystal for a variety of purposes; it can promote wisdom, wellness, love, or prosperity.Before you attune your crystal, however, you have to be sure to reset its vibrations. Cleanse your crystal by washing it with water, or cleansing it with the smoke of sage or Palo Santo: Simply light your bundle of choice and pass the crystal through the smoke. You can also bury it in the soil for a while (a potted plant works) or leave it out under a full moon.
Some healers like to keep their crystals close by in a pocket or purse, while others only take them out for rituals such as full moon ceremonies. You may decide that you want to keep your crystal in one permanent location, such as on a windowsill or in the corner of a room. However you decide to engage with it, always be mindful of its radiance. Your crystals may even adopt their own personalities. This is all part of the fun, so don't be afraid to embrace these powerful properties. Though any crystal can be activated with magical intuition, over the centuries some minerals have developed strong associations with specific manifestations.
How do I select the right crystals for me?
Crystal healers often say that you don't choose the crystal, the crystal chooses you. In fact, your deep dive into crystal work begins with the selection process. If you plan to purchase your mineral in person from a crystal shop, let your intuition guide your acquisition. Walk over to the crystal and stone area, close your eyes, and run your hands over the cool, smooth forms. You don’t decide which crystals you want. The crystals decide for you.Now, consider your intention: What would you like to harness? Focusing on your manifestation, squeeze the different crystals and stones in your hand. Observe your physical and emotional sensations. Is your palm building heat? Are you feeling energized? Tranquil? Remember, there is no hierarchy of divination tools. Choose the mineral that tantalizes your soul.
