Your journey with crystals and your intuitive abilities is ever-evolving, and there's always more to discover and unlock. Your innate wisdom and connection to the energies around you are powerful assets that can deepen with practice and exploration.
Crystals have been used since the dawn of time as talismans of power, for protection, for currency and so much more. There is a reason they adorn our bodies in jewelry and have deep meaning and value all around the world.
Crystals have always spoken to me... As a young girl, I used to play with them in my wardrobe, putting them over my third eye and pretending to be in space (something I'd forgotten until writing this article). I've also collected crystals my whole life and have a small personal collection. In fact my dad and I used to go 'crystal hunting' in Canterbury when I was a kid and dig up rocks to take to a rock shop to get cut and polished (mostly agate) - it was so much fun! We used to go to Birdlings Flat too just to find those special stones...
I've got a beautiful necklace where I channeled the design and Louisa from Kiwa Creations handmade it for me and I wore it as a talisman during my IVF cycle in 2020. I've also got 2 new beautiful handmade rings that really spoke to me: one full of rainbow sapphires and the other in gold with my emerald and diamonds from my engagement ring. (Researching the meanings of the stones after getting them revealed some interesting alignments!)
My 2 year old daughter Emma has her own crystal collection she likes to play with at bedtime and hide all through the bed... she likes to pick special crystals for us too and for our cat to play with.
It is great to know more about crystals and the ways they can enhance your life and wellbeing so that if you feel guided you can pick out the perfect one to use at the perfect time, or you can just enjoy their beauty and feel without thinking anything further of them.
Magic is all around us and crystals are one of the best examples of the magic and beauty of nature.
Here are some helpful pointers about using crystals in your everyday life to enhance and uplift the energy in your spaces.
How Crystals Harmonise and Transmute Energy
Vibrational Frequency: Crystals each have their own unique vibrational frequencies, which can influence the energy of a space. For example, amethyst is known for its calming energy, while citrine is celebrated for its uplifting and abundance-attracting properties.
Energy Cleansing: Crystals can absorb and transmute negative or stagnant energies. Black tourmaline, for instance, is often used for protection and grounding, helping to dissipate negative energy.
Intention Amplification: Crystals can be programmed with specific intentions, such as love, peace, or creativity, which they then amplify and radiate throughout the space.
Balance and Alignment: Certain crystals, like rose quartz and selenite, promote emotional healing and balance, aligning the energies of a home to facilitate harmony and well-being.
Some Gentle Ways to Nurture and Expand Your Intuitive Gifts
Meditate with Crystals: Spend quiet moments meditating with crystals. Hold them, place them on your body, or create a crystal grid. Allow yourself to tune into their energy and notice any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise.
Crystal Journaling: Keep a journal dedicated to your experiences with crystals. Write down your observations, insights, and any intuitive messages you receive. This practice can help you track your growth and deepen your understanding.
Intuitive Selection: When choosing crystals, trust your intuition. Allow yourself to be drawn to the ones that resonate with you, even if you're unfamiliar with their properties. Often, your inner wisdom knows what you need.
Energy Attunement: Spend time attuning to the energy of different crystals. Notice how your body responds to each one, and explore how they shift your mood, energy, or thoughts.
Experiment with Crystal Combinations: Try using different combinations of crystals together. Pay attention to how their energies interact and enhance each other, creating unique vibrations and effects.
Learn from Others: Engage with books, workshops, or communities that focus on crystals and energy work. Learning from the experiences and insights of others can spark new ideas and deepen your understanding.
Create Crystal Rituals: Develop personal rituals involving crystals, such as cleansing, charging, or setting intentions. These practices can strengthen your bond with your crystals and enhance your intuitive connection.
Trust Your Inner Voice: As you work with crystals and explore your abilities, trust the guidance that comes from within. Your intuition is a reliable compass, guiding you toward what resonates with your soul.
Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness into your daily life. Being present and aware can help you notice subtle energies and intuitive nudges that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Embrace Curiosity: Approach your journey with an open heart and a sense of wonder. Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow, and your intuitive abilities will naturally expand with practice and intention.
Cleansing and Charging Crystals
Cleansing Under the Full Moon: The full moon is a powerful time for cleansing crystals, as its light is believed to refresh and rejuvenate their energies. Simply place your crystals under the moonlight overnight to cleanse and recharge them. (This can be done inside).
Sunlight Charging: Some crystals thrive in sunlight, which can enhance their energies. However, be cautious, as prolonged exposure can fade certain stones like amethyst or citrine. A short time in the gentle morning sun is usually beneficial.
Water Cleansing: Running your crystals under cool, clean water can cleanse them. However, be mindful that some crystals, like selenite, are water-soluble and should not be submerged.
Sound Clearing: Using sound, such as from a singing bowl or tuning fork, can cleanse crystals by breaking up stagnant energy and restoring their natural vibration.
Smudging: Passing your crystals through the smoke of sage, palo santo, or incense can also cleanse them, removing any negative energies they may have absorbed.
Earth Cleansing: Burying crystals in the earth for a day or two can ground and cleanse them, reconnecting them with their natural source of energy.
*Remember, each crystal is unique and may respond differently to various cleansing methods, so trust your intuition and observe how your crystals feel after each process.
Remember, your connection with crystals and energy is a personal and unique journey. There's no rush—allow yourself to explore, experiment, and enjoy the process. Your intuitive gifts are a beautiful part of who you are, and as you continue to nurture them, you'll find deeper layers of insight and magic unfolding. The best part about crystals is they are fun and beautiful and a never-ending opportunity for exploration and learning.
Over the years I have used crystals to help soothe anxious energy, help calm me when I've been in pain, transmute electrical energy from my spaces and ground my energy. Documentaries talk about crystal skulls and the power of crystals to store energy, power and information in a way it can be read later and also how they are used as conductors of electricity - even used in most of our electric devices!
There is no denying the magic and beauty of crystals and when you learn how widely used they are in all sorts of fields on Earth, there is no wonder we have an affinity with them and are drawn to certain ones at certain times.
I hope you've found this article inspiring and set alight a fire within you to explore crystals with more conscious intention and fun. May your crystals bring harmony, balance, and beauty to your spaces, infusing them with the joyful dance of energy!
