Diving into crystals for the first time can feel intimidating and a bit overwhelming. Here is a basic guide for beginners to get you started with confidence!
*Cleanse your crystals:
-The best way is passing them each through smoke from sage or sandalwood. (You can also use the sun or moonlight.)
-With the moon you have to wait until a full moon or directly after. Leave outside overnight in the moon’s light.
-With the sun, leave directly in it’s light for 5 minutes. (This is best for red, yellow and orange colored crystals.)
*When to cleanse:
-When you first get them.
-After someone else touches them.
-Once a month.
-Before you use them on yourself or others.
*Activate your crystals:
-The best way is to hold them in your hand one at a time, or place them on your body.
-Treat your crystals with care, love and respect.
-Program each crystal with intention.
-Some crystals will speak to you more clearly the more you work with them and build up their programming.
*Storage:
-Shelf or windowsill.
-A pouch.
-Gemstone jars or drawers.
