Working with Crystals: How to choose them

 

 

 

 

Crystals have been around since the beginning of time and man has been using their positive healing and vibrational energy for a variety of reasons over the century’s and in many diverse ways. I have been using Crystals personally for some time, and I know that they have amazing powerful energy that you can tap into to support you through life’s up and downs as well as being able to send us loving healing energy or to give and send out this energy to others in any type of healing work . 

Todays’ focus is about how you can choose your crystals and the different ways that you can do this.

 

Choosing A Crystal:

It can be challenging to explain how crystals work but, simply put they can send out and receive energy, very much like how our brain works, but in a more positive vibration which comes from the individual properties that each crystal contains.

There are many books and loads of information available online to inform you on what each crystals specific properties are to help you choose a crystal to work with as well as why you would initially choose one.

If you are unsure which crystal to choose, a simple choice to start off with would be to work with a crystal that represents your astrological birth sign. Below is a list of each Zodiac sign and the crystal assigned to them.

BIRTH SIGN.                                         CRYSTAL OR STONE. 

            Aries                                        Diamond, ruby, red jasper.          

Taurus                                      Sapphire, lapis lazuli. 

Gemini                                      Citrine, yellow agate. 

Cancer                                     Pearl, Moonstone. 

Leo                                           Tiger’s eye, dendritic agate. 

Virgo                                        Green jasper, sardonyx. 

Libra                                         Sapphire, aquamarine. 

Scorpio                                     Ruby, opal, red jasper. 

Sagittarius                                Topaz. 

Capricorn                                 Turquoise, smokey quartz. 

Aquarius                                   Amethyst. 

Pisces                                      Moonstone, rose quartz. 

 

Other ways to choose a crystal is to go to a crystal shop and instinctly go towards which crystals you are pulled towards, or which ones attract your attention. There may be a few of the same type of crystal sitting together, but one will look more shiny or attractive to you, you may feel the need to hold your hand over the group and feel which one of them pulls you towards them or gives you a tingling sensation in your palm. You can also squint your eyes and notice which one of them seems to illuminate or stand out from the rest. But there is no right or wrong way of choosing one, but if you have a gut feeling or sense about one then this would be the one to get.

 

Another way is to know what you would like a crystal to help you with prior to choosing one , then either pick one that has the properties for that reason, or simply check which crystals can help you and then choose one that resonates with you (as above) from the list as many have similar properties.

 

Another way is to pick up a crystal and place or hold it over your body around your chakra points and sense if it is interacting with you or if it gives you a sense of physical or mental wellbeing.

There are so many ways to choose one to work with, but in the end go with one that you are drawn to as they are usually the ones that you may need at this time.

Next time, I will share how you can cleanse your crystals, in the meantime if you would like more help around choosing a crystal an in-depth reading would be a good start where I can understand which areas you may need additional support in and which crystals you can use to assist your needs.

I look forward to reading and connecting with you, until then.

Blessed Be,
