“A healer's power stems not from any special ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses.” 
― Eric Micha'el Leventhal

Crystals, energy and alternative healing methods are trending big time. You see crystals everywhere now! All over beauty magazines, department stores, Pinterest and IG. While people are attracted to their beauty, theres a lot more to crystals than most people know about. There are so many possibilities and combinations, it really is fun playing with them and using them in different ways. Each crystal has its own unique properties and purpose. Even then they can be used in many different ways. If you are new to this, I wanted to share some easy ways to work with crystals. 

WAYS TO USE CRYSTALS :

  • PROGRAM A CRYSTAL -- You can start simple and use one crystal at a time. You can program your crystals to focus on something very specific. For example, you can program a piece of citrine to bring in some extra monetary wealth. Citrine is known as the merchants stone and stone of manifestation. It can help you manifest wealth and prosperity among other things. Cleanse your crystal, then hold it on your hand and simply say I program you to "blank blank". In this case, you would say, "I program you to help me manifest monetary wealth." Carry that crystal in your pocket or purse, next to your wallet for a few weeks. You can also use it as a reminder of what you wish to attract. This a great way to help you keep your thoughts on track. See how things slowly or maybe even immediately start coming your way. It could be something as small as finding a $20 bill on the floor, to something more significant, like getting a raise. 
  • SMALL POUCH -- Carry a small pouch of crystals and stones with you on a daily basis. You can combine sets of crystals based on one specific thing. For example, you can make a good luck pouch and carry some aventurine, jade and citrine to attract luck with money. Or you can just carry all your favorite crystals with you.
  • MEDITATE -- You can also use your crystals to meditate. You can program a crystal to work on a specific chakra. For example, if you need help expressing yourself and want to open your throat chakra. Meditate with a lapiz lazuli to open up your throat chakra. Many stones can be used to heighten your intuition or to help you connect with your spirit guides. You just have to narrow down your goals, figure out what your focus is, then pick the proper stone to use. 
  • CLEANSE -- One of my favorite things to do is use selenite to cleanse myself. You simply grab the wand and run it through your body clockwise. Almost like you're brushing yourself with the wand. Allow the selenite to cleanse your body and fill you with its "liquid light". You can also use crystals to dissipate negative energy by placing a smokey quartz in the room to absorb energy that may be lingering around. 
  • TO SLEEP -- Trouble sleeping? Put some calming crystals under your pillow to help with insomnia. Rose quartz, lepidolite, and amethyst are all good to use depending on what you're working on or trying to achieve. For instance, for loving and peaceful energy while you sleep put rose quartz under your pillow. Lepidolite is great to quiet all those repetitive thoughts and calm your mind before drifting off, if thats what you need help with. 
  • TO JOURNAL -- Again, because you can program a crystal to do pretty much anything, they are great to incorporate when you journal. Write down what you want to attract or manifest and when you're done, place your programed crystal on top of your journal. This is a great way to start an easy yet effective ritual. If you want to attract love, write that down. Then, place a piece of rose quartz on top of your journal to set your intention. 
  • CREATE A VIBE -- Depending on what you want to achieve, you can strategically place crystals around your home to attract certain things. Lets say you need hep being creative, place some citrine around your desk area to absorb some of the creative energy that citrine carries. Or if you are having a party, place some citrine in the room for its creative and joyful energy.
