How to Choose Crystals

The title of this article should really be, “How Crystals Choose You,” because that is exactly what happens. While there are resources such as The Crystal Bible, there are no amount of books, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. that are going to tell you which crystal is the one for you. It becomes an inherent connection between you and the crystal. Those resources listed above can get you on the right track and help you figure out which crystal you want to pursue, but those resources are just guides. Crystals (or rocks for non-believers) have energy properties to them just like every living thing on this earth does. We each give off different vibrations and frequency. 

A great first step in embarking on how to choose a crystal should be to listen to what your body is saying to you. Your body likely has a signal that tells you when something is true for you. For example, you may get goosebumps or get a tingle in a certain part of your body. You may develop a psychic or mental connection. Perhaps you will hear a ringing in your ear. This sign is specific to you and will differ from person to person. 

The next step would be to remain open-minded. Crystals will give back what they receive. Therefore, if you are a skeptic you likely won’t be able to encounter the true magic behind these life forces. Vibration and frequency are scientific. The universe is constantly trying to deliver to you in the vibration you are sitting in. If you go into pursuing crystals with both an open mind and an open heart, it is likely that you will be pleasantly surprised what they can do.

Crystals can be used in a variety of different ways. One popular application is through the practice of meditation. Crystals can be placed on specific parts of the body to activate or enhance that particular chakra. They are excellent tools for the practice of reiki and moving energy throughout the body. Crystals can be great mood boosters. Keep one close by, such as on your person or in your purse or pocket when you need a little boost on an emotional level. Different types of crystals are better for different ailments.
