Crystal meditation is my personal favourite, it’s one I feel many will benefit from. It helps to de-stress, so we feel calm and collected, brings peace, helps to clear the mind removing negativity and relaxes the body, making us feel happier and in control of our emotions. This meditation may help heal emotional or physical pain. Each Crystal is unique and beautiful, it has its own benefits and vibrations. If you don’t own any crystals, first you will need to find a crystal that suits you, this can be overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. When looking for a crystal try not to over-think and go to the crystal you’re naturally drawn to. If you’re still unsure a good crystal to start with is Amethyst, it’s calming, cleansing and healing. Once you have your own crystal, you’ll need to cleanse it, you can do this by leaving it under running water for a few minutes or by placing the crystals in a bowl of salt. Then charge the crystal by placing it in sunlight or moonlight. Crystals can also be charged by sound, place close to a source of pure sound or positive vibrations, this could be the sound of a gong.
Programming and meditating with your crystal. Start holding the crystal in your hands, sitting in a comfortable position, you may want to sit on a chair or pillow, lift and lengthen through your spine, relax your shoulders, with your eyes closed, take a moment to connect with your breath and body. How are you feeling? Take a deep inhale and as you exhale let go of any tension and allow yourself to be in that moment. Take as long as you need, before allowing your breath flow naturally. Bring all your focus to the crystal and become aware of its energy. Open your eyes gazing into the crystal, notice its beauty, notice its shape, if it edges notice each one, notice the temperature of the crystal, is it warm or cool to touch, how does it feel, is it smooth or rough. Connect with your crystal on a deeper level, feeling the energy within you. Close your eyes again when you feel ready and visualise the crystal glowing. Bless your crystal by saying “You shall be blessed by the purest and highest energy’s that the universe has to offer, I ask you, tune in to my unique frequency and activate to act for my highest good” Take a moment to ask yourself why you are using the crystal, for example “This crystal is to help me heal and will work with me to do so”. Visualise that glowing light now stretching wider creating a bubble around your body. Your body is glowing. How do you feel? Start to draw that glowing light back into the crystal. Notice the energy from your crystal now. If there are any areas of the body your crystal can work with, hold it on that area, for example if you are using the crystal for “healing” hold that crystal on an area that needs to heal.
Once you have finished your meditation place your crystal somewhere beneficial, somewhere you can feel is energy and you can work together. If you are unsure where this is, place your crystal back into the light, to recharge for your next meditation.
