The Crystals You Need For Every Part Of Your Life

I’ve jumped on the crystal train, and for very good reason. The more I’ve learned about their power and how to work with them, the more I notice what a big difference they can truly make. Now, you can’t just get crystals (aka stones) and expect them to work like magic.

You have to tend to your crystals. You have to cleanse them, charge them, and work with them to set your intentions and what you want to manifest from them. You’ll see some crystals have multiple uses, and you should use a crystal with similar properties depending on what your intention is. Essentially, choose crystals that have certain properties pertaining to what you are seeking from the crystal.

To cleanse:

You can run the crystal through palo santo or sage smoke. You can leave your crystals out under a full moon. You can pass the stone through a candle flame, being careful not to scorch it.

When you do this, you can visualize all the energies from the stone becoming white healing light. There are many ways to cleanse a stone, my personal favorite is through palo santo smoke, but find the method that works best for you.

To charge:

To charge a stone you’re basically programming it and infusing it with a single intention. You’re visualizing what you want from the stone. There are a number of ways to charge a crystal, but one way is to hold it in your non-dominant hand and imagine a white light surround you and the stone.

Then, inspire the stone with your desired intention and ask for its help and guidance. Work with this stone often to achieve your desired result. Again, there are so many ways to charge your crystal, find what feels right for you.

But remember, there is a HUGE difference between cleansing and charging your crystals.

Cleansing = removing the crystal of any excess energy it may have absorbed and clearing any energetic impurities.

Charging = programming your crystal and telling it what your intentions are and what you seek from it.

Here are some of my favorite crystals for various areas of life:
