How To Choose The Right Crystals For Your Needs?
Choosing the right crystals for your needs can be a daunting task, but there are several ways to make the process easier. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect crystals:
- Identify what you feel you're missing before looking into what the stones can provide you. This will help you determine what's happening in your life and what you need help with.
- Select your crystals by using your intuition, reading metaphysical healing properties, or by matching them to chakras you want to work on.
- Experiment with stones that have different "properties". Look up a crystal for what you want to heal or seek the crystal for the body part or chakra that you think needs some extra love.
- See if you have a physical reaction to any stones. Take your non-dominant hand and pass it over the crystals, waiting to see if you feel a subtle "tug" from one of the stones.
- Ask the Universe for the crystal that will work for your highest good. Be open and receptive to whatever crystal comes your way, and don't go into the search with too much judgement or pre-conceived notions.
- Consider your intentions when working with crystals. What drew you to them? Were you drawn to their beauty? Or their ability to transform or assist in an area of your life or within yourself?
- It’s important to buy crystals that are authentic and ethically sourced. Many crystals are overmined, contributing to social and environmental issues in their countries of origin. Choose reputable crystal sellers and retailers who provide information on how their crystals are sourced.
