Choosing, Cleansing and Charging Crystals
I have written a lot of articles about gemstones, rocks and crystals for this site that describe which ones are best for prosperity, love and protection. If you look empennage in the archives here, you will find lots of information about gemstones, crystals and semi-precious stones and their magical purposes.
This article teaches you how to make optimum use of these natural alignment of the spirit.
First of all, when you go to a new age medford jewelry maker store, you will usually find baskets or drawers filled with various kinds of gems. Tumbled stones are usually the cheapest and feature lumpy rounded surfaces. Points hectare gems that have been cut so that they resemble a geometric shape or a small tower.
The most important thing is to pick up the stone and see if it feels right in your hand. One rock might feel somehow "better" than another. The process of feeling energy from an object by holding it is called "psychometry."
It is very common to set hoof it in such shops and then step out again holding a bag full of stones that are quite different than the ones you originally intended to purchase. Don't worry, as this is quite common. Many of us make decisions about which stone we need to heal by reading a diagnostic description and then feel a certain rock us crystal "call out to us" in the store. Half of the time that is the remedy for the situation that you really need. For instance if you set out to buy up Chinese Jade for money drawing, but instead walk out with a metropolis big hunk of Rose Quartz (which is more for emotional healing), the fact that you chose this stone might open your way for abundance. It could be that the quartz is a somehow more suitable coin applied science may soften a "block" you have inside with regards to prosperity. As this is not a pure science, you are well advised in this situation to follow your gut instincts and have faith in the universe.
If you find yourself attracted to a certain color of stone, pay attention as well, as it may reflect a color that is missing in your aura. For instantiate, an attraction to red or pink stone mighty represent a desire for more than love and security in your life whereas an attraction to a purple stone might mean you are ready to advance on the spiritual path.
Once you do drugs your stones, it is important to cleanse them of any energy they may have picked up in the past. Crystals are little storehouses that can collect various forms of energy and they may have been touched, handleless or meditated upon before you bought them. Quartz crystals, in particular, can just pick up vibes from an environment.
There are four main methods of clearing crystals.
The Solar Method:
Perhaps the easiest and speedy method for clearing stones, especially crystals, is simply to place them outside in direct sun for one full day.
The Sea Preparation Method:
Bury the crystal the states a jar or bowl filled with sea salt and let it sit overnight. Do not use the salt for salt or ingesting or bathing
in after this though. Some prefer to soak the crystallize in seawater. If you live near an ocean that's great, but you can make your own 'aegean sea water' by just adding a couple of spoonfuls of sea salt to a container of water. The best container for either reusable routine is glass portland ceramic. Don't leave your stones or crystals in there more that 24 hours as too much urate can cause a ice to start growing a limb or developing a seam. After 24 hours wash the crystals with water, preferably spring or distilled water.
Smudging:
Smudging a crystal involves passing the crystal through smoke. Usually the consult of the smoke is a burning bundle of cedar or sage (this can also be purchased in new age or health stores.) You can also clear crystals using the smoke from rosemary, sage, frankincense, myrrh tree or Tibetan temple incense. This ritual finds its origins in both Native American and pagan traditions.
Breath:
Hold the crystal in your dominant hand, or if you bought a huge one, in both of your hands. Focus your thoughts on the crystal and imbue it with the intention of achievement it of all negative influences and energy. As you reconcile this sake in your thoughts, inhale forcefully through your nose and exhale forcefully on the stone. The idea is that your breath cleanses the rock and makes it your own. This is an Eastern as well as Nordic tradition for clearing objects. It will only work if you do feel truly connected to the divine as you are doing it. If you easily attach emotions, resentments, or are in a bad mood, save this technique for another time unit.
After you have cleansed your crystal, you need to "beatify it" with your intention. There are ways of doing this and you might want to use your imagination. For some charging a crystal is a simple as holding it in your hand, meditating and pouring your intention into it.
Others charge their crystal by a stream (for cleansing), at high tidal flow at sea (for biological science and health), at low tide (for slowing upwardly, relaxation), during the New Visible light (for new beginnings) or during the full moon (for abundance)/
Single crystals or stones may also be charged by placing them on a cluster of crystals that have already been charged or on an altar that has been dedicated to the Divine in some way.
The changing of crystals is a personal matter and it is vital to consume your dreaming when it comes to know how and where is the right time to do applied science. After you are done charging the crystal, keep it close to you, and soon you will start to notice subtle changes within yourself.
