A Few Do’s and Don’ts About Crystals

The better we understand the properties of crystals and the way they work with our bodies, the more effective becomes the healing. Simply picking up a crystal and wearing it for a purpose without cleansing or energizing it may simply work in the opposite manner, and simply rejecting a crystal for not working well enough may be due to not knowing enough about them.

Here are a few tips which may help

1. If someone recommends a crystal or gemstone to you, find out why it’s been recommended. The more you know and understand, the better and faster is the healing. Simply wearing a pearl because your mom’s astrologer told you to may soothe the anxiety and the anger but when you understand how it may be connected with the placement of the Moon on your natal chart and realize just how it may be strengthening the lunar energies, may yield more effective results.
2. Don’t wear a crystal the minute you buy it, please cleanse it thoroughly. Cleansing can range from soaking it overnight in unboiled milk, salt water or running water etc. Find out from the seller, your crystal healer or astrologer how to remove the energies and imprints from the crystal before you wear it.
3. Do get it energized by a healer or astrologer, who may use hands on healing, a mantra or some other form of programming. This will allow the crystal or gem to work exclusively for YOU.
4. Do trust your gut feel about the crystal, if it feels right, it’s working. If it feels heavy, dense or makes you feel uncomfortable remove it. Share your concerns with your healer.
5. Do not get distressed if your crystal or gem falls off, cracks, breaks or gets lost. Many crystal healers believe its work is done.
6. If you find your crystal pendant or bracelet is bringing in positive results don’t think that by wearing earrings, rings, necklaces of the same stone at the same time will amplify the positivity. You may be overdosing yourself and remember too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

Ultimately, do listen to your own gut feel. Do not allow yourself to get pressured into buying a crystal if it’s way beyond your budget or because your friend thinks it may work for you. Listen to your better judgement, there are more economical substitutes available that can be just as effective.
