Energy Work With Crystals
Selecting Your Crystal
Choose a crystal that is associated with the intention or energy you are focusing on. Different crystals have different properties. For example, amethyst is often associated with calmness and clarity, while rose quartz is associated with love and compassion. For some crystal that I personally work with, visit this link.
Cleansing the Crystal
Before programming a crystal, it's often recommended to cleanse it of any previous energies. This can be done using methods like running water, smudging with sage, placing it in sunlight or moonlight, or using other cleansing rituals. More of this on this page!
Setting Intentions
Before programming the crystal, set a clear and specific intention for its use. This could be done through meditation or simply by focusing your thoughts on the purpose you have in mind. Be clear and positive about your intention.
Programming Ritual
Hold the crystal in your hands, and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Visualize the crystal being surrounded by a bright, pure light. Focus on your intention and imagine that intention being transferred into the crystal. You can visualize the specific energy or outcome you desire.
Speak your intention out loud or silently. You can say something like, "I program this crystal for [your intention]."
Hold the crystal in your hands for a few moments, feeling the energy transfer. You can also book a service with me!
Charging the Crystal
Some people like to further enhance the programming by placing the crystal in natural elements like soil, on a windowsill under moonlight, or in direct sunlight. This is thought to charge the crystal with additional energy.
Regular Maintenance
Crystals may benefit from regular cleansing and reprogramming, especially if they've been used for specific purposes over time.
Trust Your Intuition
Trust your own intuition when working with crystals. If a particular method or ritual feels right for you, go with it. Everyone's experience with crystals can be unique.
Working with crystals is a personal and spiritual practice, and the effectiveness is subjective. If you're drawn to this practice, approach it with an open mind and enjoy the process. Don't beat yourself up asking questions if it's working or not! Your journey working with crystals is yours and it may be similar or different with the others.
Reminder!
The important thing is to connect with your crystals and acknowledged the transformation and the process your crystal has to endure to come to its being. Crystallization occurs when atoms, ions, or molecules arrange themselves in an ordered, repeating pattern to create a solid structure. This process can happen in various environments and under different conditions and takes a lot lot lot of years!
So yeah, befriend your crystal! Connect with it!
