How to Choose the Perfect Crystal 🔮

Adding a new crystal to your collection is far more than a shopping trip. It is a spiritual experience that should be taken seriously and prepared for. It is the exchange of energy between yourself and the crystals.

To properly prepare for adding a new crystal to your collection, you should start by conducting some research. All crystals possess special properties that can aide you in different areas and ways. Opalite, for instance, helps to improve your communication skills. Obsidian protects and fights against negative energy. Whatever ailment or situation you may be experiencing, there is a crystal for it. If you need assistance, take a look through my “Crystal of the Day” blog posts.

Once you have located the crystal that most closely corresponds with your needs, you should spend some time in deep meditation. During meditation, focus on strengthening your ability to pick up on energies. A great way to do this is by playing a game I like to call “Spiritual Hide and Seek.” In spiritual hide and seek, you imagine yourself in the setting of your choice. Visualize yourself walking along and being called out to in the form of subtle vibrations by the crystal you plan to add to your collection. Whenever I complete this exercise, I am always able to connect to my intended crystal. This will also help you to better read energies in general.

Once you make it to the store, take your time and really listen to the energies of the crystals. You can start with the crystals that jump out at you or that are the most visually appealing. You can then narrow your choice down by reading the energies of each one. I am sure that you will be lead to the crystal that exists solely to enrich your life.

Once you have chosen your new baby you should always cleanse it before using it. This is usually done with sage or palo santo. This clears any negative energy that may be lingering on or within the crystal(s) from those who came in contact with it before it was sold. I also like to spend time with my crystal by keeping it on my person and close to my skin for about a week.
