Choosing Crystals - for the newbie

Ever wondered what you do when you want to buy a crystal?  Well here's a starter for when you buy your crystals:

 

1)         Handle the crystals in turn; some will feel cold and lifeless to you, others will emanate an energy making your hand feel warm, tingly or have a magnetic pull.  These energizing crystals are in tune with your energies and these are the ones to choose.

 

2)         Close your eyes for a few seconds, then open them and let your vision be attracted to one particular crystal.  You may even see its aura around it.  Feel the attraction between you and the crystal;

 

3)         With your eyes closed, pass your hands slowly and gently over the crystals, an inch or two (2-5cms) above them.  You will gradually become aware of the energetic pull of one particular crystal which will draw your hand to it.  Your eyes are kept closed throughout

 

If you are completely new to crystals, then it is good to start your one each of the following:

Clear quartz

Rose quartz

Citrine quartz

Smoky quartz. 

 

For healing work it is best to acquire a large crystal – this will be your ‘generator’. 

 

You can also start building a collection of gemstones related to the chakra colours.  Start by choosing one which is related to each chakra.

 

Enjoy them
