Many people turn to crystals because they believe they possess healing properties for mind, body, and soul. However, enjoying crystals for their beauty alone is perfectly acceptable.

Occult traditions often incorporate beliefs in correspondences: bloodstones are said to promote health, rose quartz helps with love, and pink mangano calcites can aid sleep.

Choosing a Crystal

Before choosing a crystal, it’s essential to determine your needs. There are so many types of stones with differing qualities that it may seem overwhelming trying to choose one; so instead it may be beneficial to set out an intention or goal first and go from there.

Once you know what it is you need, research crystals recommended for it – but pay attention to your intuition when reading information on crystals; if something doesn’t resonate with you when reading information about them, hold one in your hand and note its energy.

After selecting the crystal that has the strongest emotional resonance with you, select one with which you have an aesthetic attraction – usually, this will be the one which attracts your eye visually – it should feel similar to meeting someone new and they seem instantly attractive; sometimes it even seems to ‘find you! If this happens to you voluntarily part ways and move onto finding another crystal – one will surely come along soon enough!

How to Use a Crystal

Crystals can be integrated into our lives in many different ways: some wear them as jewelry or carry them all day, while others use them during meditation sessions or arrange crystal grids around their homes.

Setting an intention when using crystals is vital. Doing so allows the stone to absorb exactly the energy that you require and help manifest your goals; iron pyrite may assist with releasing feelings of inadequacy so you can achieve your goals, while clear quartz brings clarity and increases vibrational frequencies in line with what your desires may be.

Next step in crystal care is cleansing it of any negative energies it may have absorbed from its environment. You can do this by holding the crystal between two hands while thinking about your intention for what energy to absorb from it. For added effects, leave your crystal in direct sunlight for several days before leaving it out in nature or burrowing it beneath earth to reconnect it with our planet’s energy source.

The Benefits of Using a Crystal

Crystals can produce soothing, revitalizing, and restorative energies when used correctly, according to proponents of their use. Proponents believe this energy comes from how their molecules move inside each stone; creating an electromagnetic force which has the power to affect our bodies and minds directly.

Crystals can be carried around to ensure a continuous stream of beneficial vibrations, worn as jewelry or placed around your home as accessories to create therapeutic environments. Their purpose is to connect us to them by way of feeling, color and vibration – this allows us to tune into their pulsing vibration and feel its energy flow through us all day long!

Some people also turn to crystals for help in treating physical ailments, although there is no scientific proof for such claims. If you decide to use one for health purposes, be sure it comes from ethically-sourced suppliers and seek medical treatment first before considering using crystals on their own as healing aids; many find crystals provide additional support when combined with mindfulness or meditation practices.

Buying a Crystal

Crystals can bring positive energies into any home. Their wide array of uses and benefits make them perfect for anyone seeking to enhance their space.

Use your intuition when selecting a crystal that catches your attention or feels right to you. While shopping online, take note of any stones that keep popping up as a result – these might just be signs that God wants something from you!

Finding a trustworthy seller is also vitally important, so ensure they have an established track record and reputation, provide detailed descriptions of the crystals they sell (such as origin, properties and flaws), prices that seem too good to be true may indicate counterfeit crystals or misrepresentations, while being wary of prices that seem too cheap may indicate counterfeit or misrepresented crystals. Also look out for sellers that promote ethical trade practices that support responsible mining.
