How Crystals Work & How To Use Them

Crystals are formed in the earth, moulded from volcanic fire and affected by wind and water- making even the smallest crystal hold extremely powerful energy. Crystals have been used for thousands of years in every culture to bring power, harmony and protection to both people and places. Each individual crystal has its own set of energies/properties that can be used in different aspects of your life. Crystals amplify and transmit our inner psychic power. Meaning they can offer insight into other dimensions and we can utilize their energy to travel beyond the immediate material world with its rigid restraints.

 

Crystals are commonly used for divination and can be a great tool during rituals, spell work, tarot readings or for individuals who are generally trying to connect with their psychic abilities. Crystals have also proved very effective for healing, both psychically and emotionally, and are commonly used in holistic healing methods and other healing practices.

 

How you use a crystal can be personal to you or the properties of the crystals itself. You may choose to carry a crystal around with you that attracts wealth because by doing so you are absorbing these powers in your day to day life. On the other hand, you may choose to leave a crystal with protective properties in your home or work space to provide a sense of protection and shield against negative energies in the atmosphere. There are even certain crystals which have very specific uses such as Sodalite (protection during air travel) or Amethyst (which can be placed under your pillow to help with insomnia) etc. 

 

Your experience with crystals should be completely personal to you and what you would like to attract into your life. I personally love to use my crystals when journalling my goals as it helps amplify my manifestations. I do this by cleansing my chosen crystals with incense and then speaking my goals out loud whilst holding the crystals, I then leave them on top of my journal overnight and from the following morning I carry the crystals around with me for the next week. I also find it especially productive to use crystals during meditation, I do this by holding my chosen crystals in my hand and simply letting myself absorb their energies whilst I am in a meditative state.
