Choosing a Crystal

There are several ways to choose a crystal

1. By gut feel. Trust your intuition to guide you to a crystal that resonates with what you need.
2. By looking up the meanings of the crystals and choosing a crystal that provides the energy that you are looking for.
3. By speaking to a healer or crystal therapsit, who can advise which crystal is best for you.

Cleaning your Crystals:

There are many varied opinions about how to clense your crystals. Choose whatever suits you and what feels right. Generally crystals are clensed periodically to booste their performance and to nurture them.

* EARTHING – With this technique crystals are buried in the earth for a period of 24 hours or more.
* ENERGY – This is simply a matter of holding your crystals in a meditative state and giving them your love. Allowing your soul’s energy to honour and flow through them.
* SMUDGING – The smoke of incense or a smudge stick is gentle waved over the crystals to cleanse them
* SALT BATHS – Crystals are soaked in a bath of course salt and luke warm water overnight or during the day. Sometimes this is accompanied by leaving the stones in the sun or moonlight.

Working with your Crystals:

* For the most part, crystals are passive until worked with.
* Crystals do work in harmony with nature, the environment and the elements
* To work with humans, crystals must be consciously interacted with.
