How to start using Stones or Crystals?
Welcome to your new path to crystals! Today, you will learn about its use, definition, and ability to intensify and improve aspects of your life.
What is the origin of crystals or precious stones?
The use of Crystals dates back thousands of years, from ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Aztecs. Likewise, around 200 references had been found in the Bible about how they have been used, including in the 12 sacred stones fixed on the pectoral Joshéno of the High Priest of Israel Araón and his successors as an essential part of their sacred vestment...
The ancient Egyptians used Carnelian, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, and other crystals in their jewelry, ornaments, and statues.
Other references have also been Roman soldiers, who wore Tigers Eye to encourage bravery in battle.
The above is evidence of the use of crystals throughout history for their powerful vibrational capacity to align our desires, heal, and release mental, physical, and spiritual blockages.
What is a Crystal or Gemstone?
A crystal is a group of atoms that repeat themselves repeatedly, forming a crystalline structure of various formations. This constant rhythm synchronizes with the healing vibrations of the Earth, so it can help balance and re-align our energy centers.
Both crystals and our bodies have energetic vibrations. This fact makes us naturally receptive to the vibrations of the stones, managing to align our vibrations with theirs. It is also why they have a powerful vibrational effect when placed near or directly on your body. By doing so, the energy travels from the crystal to you, facilitating a free energy flow throughout the body. "It is a harmonious natural and continuous energy flow..."
How to choose the right crystal?
The extensive rainbow of stones sometimes causes us confusion when choosing. However, there is no established formula to find the ideal one for you other than following your intuition. Find them in physical or virtual stores, and look at those that attract your attention the most due to their color, shape, or size. You will be attracted to the ones you truly need. As time goes by, your interest will probably change as your needs also change. It's about always being open and not overthinking it!
Remember that the true power comes from your intention when you are close to them since thoughts direct the energy towards what you want, and the energy will follow the thought. It is a harmonious, natural, and continuous energy flow.
When you include another energetic element such as stones in this process, they will help magnify those thoughts and intentions (just as we mentioned the priests, warriors, kings, indigenous people, etc. of our ancient civilizations did - First Paragraph).
Here are some ideas that may help you choose your crystal and others on detecting if you have found the ideal one!
By color
Colors significantly impact the brain when they interact with the light frequencies in our eyes. It is a natural phenomenon that helps shape our perception of colors and their healing abilities.
- For example, BLUE gemstones such as Angelite, Blue Lace Agate, and Lapis Lazuli promote feelings of peace and tranquility.
- The RED ones vibrate strongly toward your dreams, love, and the desire to live.
- Rose Quartz and Rhodocrocite nourish our ability to love with an open heart.
- ORANGE stones such as Sunstone and Cornelia promote our joy and creativity.
- VIOLET produces a relaxing visual effect, which is why Amethyst is associated with our intuitive capacity and inner peace.
By your zodiac sign
Each zodiac sign has wonderful gifts associated with it, but they also have challenges to face, especially when influenced by the sun or moon. The stones work to encourage your gifts and help you face those challenges.
Depending on the time of year, this is how the zodiacal energy surrounds us. The energy of Cancer, for example, shows great contradictions in emotions. At first, it feels gentle, kind, understanding, and patient. Then, he can become irritable, snappy, and selfish with a click (like a crab's claw). Thus, stones such as ABALONE shells, AGATIZED CORAL, CALCITE, and MOONSTONE, among others, help Cancer people to attract peace and beauty into their lives, develop and inspire their intuition, heal and strengthen their maternal instinct, and express themselves positively.
You can find many stone references on Google according to your zodiac sign.
Signs that you found your crystal!
Realizing that you have found your connection to crystals will be easier than it seems. For example, you will notice that:
- You can't take your eyes off him.
- The same type of crystals appear in your continuous searches.
- Once you have it, you don't want to part with it.
How do I take care of my crystals?
Remember to keep your crystals clean, as they are energy-accumulating elements for our body and thoughts. For this, we can:
Bury them for a few minutes in the soil of a garden (Rhodonite and Rose Quartz).
Use other crystals. Play with their shapes and place them near or on top of others.
Celestial light. Use moonlight or sunlight (Carnelian, sunstone, and citrine in the sunlight, but moonstone and Amethyst in the moonlight).
For consideration:
Avoid exposing delicate crystals to the sun.
Identify the type of glass before exposure to water or direct exposure to the sun.
You can clean most of them with warm water; if there are cracks, you can scrub them with a soft toothbrush.
