Now that we have gone over some of the mysticism and the science behind what makes crystals so amazing, let’s chat about how to choose the right crystals for you!

Choosing Crystals

Selecting a crystal for a particular purpose is a great way to help yourself; even simply being in proximity of the crystal will raise your frequency and elicit positive feelings. When choosing crystals be sure to identify your purpose for the crystal, find a few crystal varieties that support your purpose, and then choose a crystal that offers a vibrational match to your frequency. This is not as complicated as it sounds, just tap into your intuition and be guided by what feels right. This can be hard when you are not in the presence of your crystal choices. This is where grounding or Reiki healing can help guide you when looking at photos of crystals online.

One of the first we suggest everyone start with is a Clear Quartz. It is capable of drawing off negative energy of all kinds, neutralizing background radiation, balancing & revitalizing the physical, mental, emotional & spiritual planes, as well as cleansing & enhancing the organs & subtle bodies. Clear Quartz aids in concentration, unlocks memory, stimulates the immune system and brings the body into balance. No matter what the crystal is used for, the effect is always an increase in one’s vibrational frequency.

Every crystal type has a different purpose, so it depends what you are looking for. Some stones may be best used to heal the body or to tap intuition during meditation, while other stones are used in technology or as a part of building structures. Everything carries an energy in it; you want to have the most positive, clean, and clear energies in your crystal. I always ask crystal store owners where they get their stones, how they harvest the stones, and if they know any physical history about the stone I am choosing. Most importantly: if a crystal is yours, then it will speak to you. The stone may get hot in your hand, it can send tingles into your arm, or you might feel a third-eye buzz. Trust your intuition when a stone is yours. If it doesn’t feel quite right, then go with your gut—it is not meant for you. If you feel that a crystal is yours, but it is physically dirty or maybe just needs an energetic bath, you can follow the cleansing steps in our next blog of this series.

Crystals work best if they are not left to do all the work by themselves! For the highest benefit, pair the crystal’s natural energy with your own clear thoughts and intentions. It has been proven that where thought goes, energy flows. So, use your crystals to amplify your positive thoughts and intentions.
