First, keep an open mind and heart when searching for your stone. This will help in making you receptive to the connection that you will undoubtedly have with the right stone.
Second, follow your instincts. When you feel strongly about a particular stone, or experience any of the signs we will be listing for you; should seriously consider purchasing it. When you have found a gemstone or crystals that is right for you, you will experience any, or all, of the following signs:.
You may feel like you cannot take your eyes off of it. If you do, you will be drawn back to it, as if this particular gemstone or crystal is calling out to you.
You almost feel uncomfortable with the thought of the stone not being in your possession. You will experience these signs when you find the right stone because an energy link has been formed between you and the gemstone or crystal. Starting with crystal basics, stones and crystals can serve as physical representations and manifestations of your intentions for your life. In order to harness the healing energies of crystals, you need to consciously set these intentions.
Setting intentions is a simple but incredibly powerful way to help us understand our values, dreams, and life aspirations. We can an achieve overall well-being and piece by providing ourselves with a clear sense of intention and purpose.
In order to properly set an intention, you should create goals that match your values, hopes, and dreams in life. Can you set a goal that will improve aspects of your life that make you unhappy or unsatisfied?
Can you create and re-shift your current goals to center those elements of your life? Write down these intentions once you determine exactly what you want. Write them in the present tense, as if you are currently living them. Hold your crystal or gemstone in your hands. Allow yourself to feel the weight of the crystal between your palms, close your eyes, and take three slow, deep breaths. As you do this, reflect on the things in life that make you feel most happy and connected.
Reflect on the earth and your faith — religious and spiritual beliefs in a God or in a spiritual power that is greater than you. The point is to create a space surrounding you and your crystal that is occupied by positive energy full of love and light, so that you can clear your crystal of negative and unwanted energy. Once that is complete, state your intentions out loud or in your head so you put out the energies you wish your crystal to hold for you.
