Harnessing the Power of Crystals
Crystals are exquisite gifts from the Earth. They have fascinated and captivated civilisations for centuries. Beyond their dazzling beauty lies a deeper secret – the ability to harness energies that can promote healing, balance, and spiritual growth. Utilising crystals for their healing properties is an ancient practice that has stood the test of time. In this guide, we will delve into the ways you can use crystals to harness their energy and experience their transformative effects on your well-being.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CRYSTAL
The first step is to find a crystal that you resonate with! Harnessing the healing power of crystals is selecting the right one for your specific needs. Each crystal has its own unique energy and healing properties. For example, Amethyst is renowned for its calming influence, while Rose quartz is associated with love and compassion. Research and intuition play a vital role in choosing the crystal that resonates with your personal energy and intentions.
CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTAL
Once you have found the Crystal for you, you will need to be aware that all Crystals have an energy and they absorb energies from their surroundings. For this reason, it is crucial to cleanse them regularly so they're fresh and ready for use. You can cleanse your Crystals by placing it under running water for about 30 seconds with the intention you are "washing away" any negative and stagnant energies, then place it out under the full moon! There are many other alternative ways of cleansing as well but this is by far the easiest, affordable and efficient way to do it.
WEARING AND CARRYING
Wearing your crystals as a piece of Jewellery allows you to carry its energy with you throughout the day. Crystals such as Amethyst, Citrine, or Clear quartz can be worn as pendants, rings, earrings or bracelets. As you wear them, they serve as a constant reminder of your intentions and keep you connected to their healing vibrations.

People can also make crystal grids to amplify their intentions and manifest outcomes.
MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS
One of the most potent ways to use crystals is during Meditation. Hold the crystal in your hand or place it on the corresponding chakra point while meditating. The crystal's energy can deepen your Meditation, enhance your focus, and promote relaxation. The more you meditate with a crystal, the more attuned you become to its energy.

Crystal elixirs are infused water with the energy of crystals. To make an elixir, place a cleansed crystal in a glass of purified water for a few hours. The water will absorbs the crystal's energy and drinking this elixir or even using it to cleanse your body, can have a rejuvenating effect on your body and mind.
