CRYSTALS

Crystals are beautiful creations made by the

Earth. Their energies connect you to the
balance of nature and align you with the
higher vibrations of the Universe. Each one is
uniquely powerful and offer different
properties to help improve all areas of your
life. Supporting you through your soul’s
evolution, crystals are a wonderful companion
on your healing journey towards wholeness
and greater well-being.
Crystals can appear to us in many different
forms, whether in the form of a crystal grid or
appearing in visions or dreams.
Crystals have energy, and it’s common to receive
guidance from them when we need it most.
Several crystals can appear to us
as messages, warnings, reminders, and helpful
pointers on our spiritual path.
Crystals are natural stones that are formed
under the ground in the mother earth. These
crystals are mined by the miners and
introduced to us as it is and thus, these are
called natural or “unpolished” crystals.
Depending upon our requirement these
natural crystals are given different shapes
such as pointed, pyramid, sphere etc. and go
under certain processes like cutting and
polishing. These crystals are called “cut
crystals” or “polished crystals.”
SHAPES AND SIZE
Uses of Crystals in Everyday Life
People can use the crystals:
•To meditate with crystals.
•To decorate your room or office.
•To make you feel happy
•To use it as jewellery
•Bring good luck by keeping it in your

 *CLEANSING OF CRYSTALS-*
Crystals are said to absorb memory. They remember the
vibrations i.e. energy of a person or surrounding. When
you buy a crystal that crystal has already been into
many hands beginning from miners to the processor to
intermediate sellers and so on. The energy of each
person and the surroundings are stored in crystals and
they are definitely misaligned. Hence, in order to use the
crystals for our own chosen purpose, we need to remove
all those indirect energies from it by the method of
Crystal Cleansing. *
1. Under Running Water* Simply place your crystals in running
water to wash away the energies trapped in it. Water neutralizes
any type of negative energy stored in the crystals giving them
the original property. Running water like stream is the best
source for cleansing the stones however, you can still cleanse
the stones under running tap water. Take the crystals in your
hand or strainer and place them under running water. After
cleansing, pat dry them nicely and gently. **Note:* Only hard
crystals like Quartz can be cleansed under running water. Some
soft crystals like kyanite or selenite can be broken when placed
under running water.
*Stones that cannot be washed with
water:*
Pyrite
Black Tourmaline (RAW)
Selenite
Hematite
Lapis Lazuli
Calcite
Malachite
Howlite
Turquoise
Kyanite
 *2. Salt Water*
Salt is considered to be the best energy cleanser since
the ancient time. You can place your crystals in a bowl
full of salt water and leave overnight. Your stones must
be submerged completely in it. Next day, rinse the
crystals and pat dry them for use.

Sea Salt or Rock Salt are best for this purpose.

**Note:* Only hard crystals like Quartz can be cleansed
using this process. Some soft crystals like kyanite or
selenite shall not be placed in salt water.
*Stones that must not have contact with salt:*
Turquoise
Malachite
Calcite
Amber
Azurite
Topaz
Moonstone
Opal
Selenite
Red Coral
*3. Natural Light*
Since crystals are the natural source and not
man-made minerals, natural source of light are
best for its cleansing as well as energizing
purpose. Place your crystals in Sunlight and/or
moonlight. Leave them for few hours.
Rinse the stones after that and remove the
dusts particles.
**Note:* Some vibrant crystals like amethyst or
citrine may lose its colour in sunlight and thus,
are advised to place them for fewer hours
and/or at time when the Sun’s heat is low.
*Stones that must not have contact with SUN:*
Fluorite
Amethyst
Opal
Citrine
Quartz
Turquoize
Aquamarine
Rose Quartz
Topaz
Kunzite
Sapphires
Celestite
Smoky Quartz
*4. Sage Bundle*
Sage is a sacred plant with great healing properties.
Smudging your stone is said to clear inharmonious
vibrations and restore its natural energy.
Ignite the tip of the sage with the flame like incense
stick (Agarbatti) Transfer the sage to your nondominant
hand and firmly grasp your stone and move it through
the smoke.
*5. Sound Healing*
Sound healing allows a single pitch or tone to wash over an
area, bringing it into the same vibration as the tone.
Chanting mantra, singing bowls, tibetan bell or any nice bell can
help producing the sounds with good vibrations. Key sound is
not a matter of concern. It must be lound enough to encompass
the entire stone(s).
**Note:* There is a thin line between producing sound and noise.
Make sure the sound produced is in harmony.
*
*6. Using Larger Crystal or Wands*
A vibration can be transferred from large vibrating
object to less vibrating area. So is the case of stones.
Larger stone’s with larger vibrations remove the
inharmonious vibrations (energies) found in the
resting stone with low vibrations.
Large quartz clusters, amethyst geodes, and selenite
slabs can be great tools for clearing smaller stones.
Place your crystals on top of the larger stones and let
them rest there for few minutes or hours.
Else, you can also use a crystal wand. Take your
crystals in palm or in a bowl or spread them on a table
and rotate crystal wand over them in anticlockwise
direction for cleansing.
 CHARGING &
PROGRAMMING
YOUR CRYSTALS*
*

*CHARGING
CRYSTALS*
Once your crystal has been cleansed, you will need to charge it again so that it can
continue to release its own natural vibrations and energies. Without energizing, the
use of crystals is negligible. These are just a piece of decoration then. Following are
some ways in which you can charge your crystals:-
*1. Water Energising*
Like cleansing process, crystals can be energized in water too. Since crystals are
natural, all the natural sources can energize the crystals. Allow your crystals to sit
under cool running tap water for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, save water by placing
the stones in a mesh bag and allowing a freshwater river to wash over them. Keep the
crystals in a peaceful place or in a place with soft and gentle music. They are
energized beautifully.
*Note: Only hard crystals like Quartz can be cleansed under running water. Some soft
crystals like kyanite or selenite can be broken when placed under running water.
*2. Moonlight*
As already discussed that moonlight is best energy
source for cleansing as well as energizing, the natural
energies transmitted by the moon can put energies in
your crystals. Simply place your gemstones in the
moonlight for a day or two while you sleep. Even if its
cloudy or rainy, you can still place the crystals in
moonlight for energizing. Avoid placing the crystals that
are sensitive to water in rain
*3. Palm Rubbing*
A heat energy is released when you rub your palms. These
energies can be used in energizing your crystals as well. You
can recharge crystals simply by rubbing them between your
palms.

*4. Singing bowls*

Like cleansing process, singing bowls and bells also charge
and energize the crystals. Play a singing bowl or a bell around
your crystals, or place the crystals on a cloth in the base of a
metal singing bowl and strike the bowl until the sound clarifies
and the gemstone is energised.
 *Programming*
To program a crystal for specific use, sit quietly away from distractions or strong
electrical devices that give off external energies. Hold the stone in front of you, clear
your mind and focus. Ensure a white light or desk lamp is positioned near the
crystal. Concentrate on the specific energy that you wish to program the crystal with,
and transmit the energies and thoughts from your mind directly to the stone. Do this
until you feel happy that everything you had on your mind has been transmitted.
Follow the tips below:-
Refrain from letting other people handle any gemstones you
use for personal use, as this may interfere with the connection
you have with the stones.

After wearing, take off crystal jewellery at night to give your

body a rest from the stone’s energy…
