A beginner-friendly reference to choosing, cleansing, and working with crystals
✨ Choosing Your Crystals
- Go with intuition: Pick the crystal that draws your attention — it’s often the one you need most.
- Choose by intention: Match stones to goals:
- Rose Quartz → Love & compassion
- Amethyst → Calm & intuition
- Citrine → Confidence & joy
- Black Tourmaline → Grounding & protection
✨ Cleansing Your Crystals
Clear away absorbed energy regularly. Try:
- 🌊 Running Water (for harder stones like quartz)
- 🌕 Moonlight (especially under a full moon)
- 🔥 Smudging with sage, palo santo, or incense
- 🎶 Sound from a singing bowl, chime, or tuning fork
Avoid water with soft/porous stones like selenite, malachite, or calcite.
✨ Carrying Crystals with You
- Keep 1–3 crystals on you to avoid overwhelm.
- Pockets/bracelets: Great for grounding stones like hematite.
- Necklaces/pendants: Keep heart-centred crystals (rose quartz, green aventurine) near your chest.
- Daily swap: Choose crystals each morning based on what you need that day.
✨ Using Crystals for Your Benefit
- 🧘 Meditation: Hold or place crystals on chakra points.
- 🌸 Set intentions: Hold the stone and clearly affirm your goal.
- 🌙 Sleep support: Place amethyst or lepidolite by your bed for peaceful rest.
- 🔺 Crystal grids: Arrange stones in geometric patterns for focus and manifestation.
- 💎 Mindful reminders: Carry or wear crystals as daily anchors for your intentions.
