How To Use Your Crystals

 

Wearing Your Crystals

For centuries gemstones have been worn or carried for protection. While wearing a crystal cannot change your circumstances, a crystal that supports certain attitudes or behaviours can help you to help yourself to change certain aspects in your life for the better.

 

Black, metallic, brown or red stones are useful for grounding, which influences practicality and survival instincts.

 

Multi-coloured stones, such as labradorite or peacock ore, are excellent at preventing other people from draining your energy.

 

Pink stones, such as Kunzite or Rose Quartz, emphasize calm, empathy and understanding, so can reduce the risk of situations escalating out of your control.

 

Alternate the stones you wear from day to day. Every so often take a rest from wearing or carrying your crystals. This will help to prevent you from becoming dependant on their influences and will give you a better appreciation of their healing powers. All stones that you wear or carry should be cleansed regularly to remove the imbalances that they have picked up from you and your environment.

Cleansing and Charging

 

 

Running Water and Sunlight

Hold the stone under running water and visualize imbalances flowing away. place in sunlight to dry. (Some crystals are water-soluble and/or fade in sunlight, so be careful.)

Incense Smoke

Burn some incense and pass the stone several times though the smoke, while visualizing the imbalances away. My favourite incense is white sage.

Crystal Clusters

Place the stone on any larger crystal cluster to restore natural levels of energy.

Breath

Exhale sharply over the crystal and imagine imbalances being blown away.

Moon

The best and most effective way of cleansing and charging your stones, is by placing them in the light of the full moon.
