How to Choose a Crystal
As we are becoming more and more aware of the healing effects of crystals and gemstones on our health, it is only natural to look for information on how to use them.
In simple, easy to understand terms, the reason why crystals and gemstones make wonderful healing tools is because of what science calls its piezoelectric effects. You can see this effect in modern Quartz watches. Crystals and stones respond to the electricity that is coursing through our body, if the energy is unbalanced, the constant electrical vibrations of the stones will help to harmonize, balance, and regulate the flow of these energies.
Now that we know how crystals work to aid in our healing process, let’s learn how to choose one.
There are many methods of selecting your crystals and gemstones, these are just a few.
The first method is to simply close your eyes and quietly meditate for a few moments. When you are ready, open your eyes very quickly and pick up the first stone to which your eyes become naturally drawn.
The next method is to run your left hand, your receiving hand, over all of the stones available for purchase. (You use your left hand because the left side of the body brings energy/information in more strongly in most people.) You will soon discover that one of the stones will make the palm of your hand tingle or get warm, this is your stone!
You may also intuitively ‘know’ which stone you should choose and which is right for you. You might feel as if the stone is jumping up and down and shouting “choose me, choose me!!” You may also sense or even ‘see’ white light radiating from the stone drawing you in like a magnet!
If you are a competent dowser then you should be able to choose the appropriate stone with your own individual techniques.
Sometimes you even feel as if the stone is choosing you! They come to you with a particular purpose and have a special reason for wanting you to work with them. Just accept this when it happens and count
it as a blessing🙂
Unfortunately many of us do not have access to retail shops that carry a good line of healing stones and crystals. But in today’s world we have the internet and mail order catalogs that offer just about any stone you could possibly need. It is very easy to choose stones over the internet if pictures are provided on the web site. Just look through the photos of the stones and let your intuition guide you into choosing which stones are best for you. It is really that easy!
