Crystals are incredibly powerful tools that can be set with your intention. Occurring naturally in the earth, they amplify, store and can transmit energy. Their used in technology: radio's, telephones, computers, satellites! Since ancient times, they have been used the world over, for healing and expanding mental and spiritual abilities.
Crystals absorb energy, so it makes sense to cleanse them. My reccommendations:
"Since your crystal picks up vibrations easily, it
is necessary to initially cleanse it. You can pack your crystal in salt (preferably sea
salt) or soak it in salt water for 7 days (1 tsp. sea salt to 1 qt. of pure water). You can
put the crystal in running water (like a stream) or bury it in the earth for 7 days. The
vibrations of painful emotions and health problems can be imparted to your crystal,
so short cleansings are periodically necessary. For short cleansings, a 3-day period
of any of the above procedures is sufficient. If your crystal is handled by someone,
clear it with a salt solution soaking for 10-30 minutes. After cleansing, place your
crystal in the direct dawn sunlight for 2 to 3 hours to charge and activate it with the
life energy of the sun.
If your crystal is small enough, carry it with you wherever you go. Instead of
being your 'pet rock,' this can be your 'pet crystal,' but don't let others handle and
imprint on it their thought vibrations. You can sleep with it, meditate with it, talk to it
or say your prayers with it. The more it is exposed to you, the more attuned to your
vibration it becomes. It quickly becomes your friend and your teacher. To some
degree, it will even protect you from the negative effects of artificial environments
and shield you from negative forces...a crystal properly tuned to your vibration will help keep
your mind clearer of this 'mental noise.'"
How to use your crystal/ pendulum.
Well the first way is to wear it! Amplify your own good vibes and tell it to protect you from negative thoughts and energy.
The second way, is to use your crystal necklace as a pendulum. This has so many uses. Pendulums.. "act as wave guides to attune your vibration of intention to what
you're seeking to find."
I'll update this later with all the ways this can be used! If you've lost something, draw a map and place the pendulum over it. It will begin to swing in a circle instead of back/forth and over the appropriate spot.
I've also seen pendulums used to check peoples chakra's. The person checking would say the name of the chakra eg. root. and slowly place the pendulum over that that area on the body. By the size and shape of the swing, it could be determined if the chakra was opened, (circle or not), to what degree, and what kind of imbalance it had.
Ask questions. Tell your pendulum you want it to be an accurate indicator of the truth..
hold it over a piece of paper and ask it to show you what a YES is. hold your hand steady and watch the repetitive motion the pendulum eventually falls into. Mark it down on the piece of paper with a pencil. Next ask it to show you a NO. mark that down. You may get an cirle for yes and a line for no. Practice asking it a few questions you already to know the answers to, and see the accurracy that your getting. Give it enough time to answer, you will be surprised. You can ask your pendulum if it wants to answer questions for you, and see if its happy.
Visualize and set an intention. See what you want in your minds eye. Feel it. Crystalize it! Remember, Crystals increase and amplify your energy and thoughts. They also STORE it. Your crystal will remember what you thought and will store it for you, time and time again. I reccomend you try this and see how you feel..
Tell it. (My favorite). Crystals can remember and store intentions. Make it your healing stone carrying those good vibes wherever you may travel. Say which part of the body needs healing and ask it to direct energy. It can do anything you tell it to.
Thanks, hope it helps guys. Trev.
