CHOOSING YOUR CRYSTALS

 

When choosing Crystals, take the time to feel them, if they talk to you, or something stands out about that Crystal, put it to one side and continue looking until you feel you would be happy having those particular Crystals for your method of healing, or just to have them in your collection.

The list here is only a few Crystals that I have liked over the years, I don’t have all of them, some I don’t use, it goes in phases.

I have my favourites that I stick to, sometimes while I am cleansing them I may feel that’s enough of this one for a while, so I put it to rest until I feel the need to use it again.

This list of Crystals is fairly small, there are a lot more, so enjoy searching and finding those Crystals that you feel comfortable with, take what you feel right for you from the information written about them. Some people say use the colour of the crystal that corresponds with the colour of the chakras, eg. Garnet for Root Chakra, Sapphire for Throat Chakra etc., I like to work with them and putting my own preference for other Crystals too.
