How Do You Pick a Healing Crystal?

Crystals have piqued the interest of humanity for countless thousands of years. As an example, Atlantis, according to Greek myth, had crystal notepads and devices powered by crystals. Images of crystals from the present day are also standard. You'll now find them everywhere, from yoga studios to home décor stores.

So why do we have such a soft spot for crystals? Well, for starters, they're stunning. According to Zen and Stone, a crystal's aesthetic potency contributes to the feeling of receiving a gift when it is touched. It is also believed that the energy of a crystal is a different gift. Check out this guide if you've been wondering whether crystals are for you or if you've been left out of the crystal frenzy.

How do you choose a gemstone for healing?

First and foremost: The first step in discovering what the stones can provide you is to figure out what you're lacking. Before relying on other sources, this will assist you in finding out what's going on inside yourself. From there, you may depend on your instincts to guide you. 

There is a crystal suitable for you, whether you see it. Your subconscious mind will assist you in finding it. Once you've found it, you'll be able to connect with it. Here's a more profound approach to picking your healing crystal if you'd want to go that route.

1. Speak with the gem that corresponds to your needs

A crystal that will serve your most significant benefit may be found by asking the Universe for it. If you're looking for a crystal, have an open mind and don't bring any preconceived assumptions or judgments.

2. Check to see if any stones cause you any discomfort

Pass the crystals between the fingers of your non-dominant hand and wait for a little "tug" from one of the stones. Having three or four may be a problem (I know I have!). If this is the case, go to the next step.

3. Experiment with various "properties" of stones

You may also use the internet to choose a crystal that best suits your needs. You might begin by looking for a crystal corresponding to the body area or chakra that you believe needs special attention. You may ask to examine stones for a particular chakra whenever you visit the store. 

As a bonus, when you discover that a specific stone is beneficial for a particular chakra, you may place that stone on that chakra's connected region of your body.

Here are some samples of healing crystals from which you may choose now that you've learned how to do so.

Amethyst

This shade of purple exudes an air of serenity and relaxation. It's a great stone to use while meditating; it's also considered to help you access your intuition and inner understanding by cutting through the din. If you're new to spirituality, this gemstone is an excellent location to begin your exploration.

Citrine

No wonder citrine is an uplifting stone; it emanates brightness and warmth in its rich orange colors. If you're feeling down, this may help you get through it.

Jade

The greenstone jade is said to increase your wealth. As the "Stone of Heaven," it's known for its ability to cleanse the environment.

Moonstone

Its relaxing hue recalls ocean images in keeping with the stone's reputation as a purifying stone. Similar to the moon, the lunar energy may be harnessed to tap into your inner goddess.
