Choosing a crystal can be overwhelming. There are so many options! How do you know which one you need at this moment? Healing with crystals is a very individualized experience. You may really connect with a particular crystal, while someone else may gravitate towards a different crystal—even if you’re using the crystal for the same intention. 

Finding the right stone is like any practice of wellness. It requires patience while you quiet the mind and realign the mind/body balance. Hold the stone in your hand and quietly think of your intention. Notice if you feel sensations such as hot or cold, pulsations, or calmness and tranquility. These are all signs that this particular rock is perfect for your healing needs.

Once you've picked out your crystal or jewelry, it's important that you cleanse it to clear the energy of the many hands that touched it before you.

We recommend running a new crystal under clean water and then placing it outside under the sun or moon for a few hours.

Next, light some sage or frankincense resin on charcoal and infuse the crystal or jewelry in the sacred smoke.

Lastly, to clear any lingering or stagnant energy in the crystal, place it in a room with high-vibrational music playing like mantras.

We find this simple four-step process of water, sun or moon energy, sacred smoke, and music cleanses the crystals on a multi-vibrational level.

Intentions help us invite a specific energy and goal into our life. Sometimes daily intentions are designed to contribute to a larger, longer-term goal, such as an intention of meditating daily to have better health. Other times intentions are mindsets purely for that specific day or moment, like expressing gratitude for a person or situation.

Setting intentions allows you to connect with the energy of your crystal or jewelry to help bring your goals or mental shifts to life.

Before you combine different crystals, start by using one at a time. Set your intention for your first crystal and use it for 10 days. Notice how its energy affects your day, your mind, and your spirit.
