Uses For Crystals

 

• Keep some crystals on your desk at home or the office for inspiration and focus. 
• Keep your crystals close while you sleep on your bedside table or under your pillow. This is a good choice if you want the crystal to work through your subconscious or dreams, to promote lucid dreaming, or simply to calm bad dreams and promote restful sleep. Choose a crystal that corresponds to the goal you have in mind - high-vibe stones like labdorite and lapis lazuli are recommended for those exploring lucid dreaming, whereas howlite and amethyst  may be better for restful sleep.
• Place protective stones on your windowsills or elsewhere in your home to banish negative energy and keep you feeling at peace in your sacred space. 
• Charge your crystals during a full moon. You can put them on your windowsills. 
• If you have a collection of stones and a set goal in mind, try creating a crystal grid! 
• Bathe in your crystals. Rose quartz is amazing for self love. Be careful, as some crystals you cannot get wet. I'll include a list down the page. 

(There's so many uses, it's impossible to list them all).

 Cleansing 

Crystals also need to be cleansed when you bring them home for the first time. Once you’ve got them home, as you use them they absorb your energy & the energy of the environment around them.

From time to time they are going to need to be cleansed. By cleansing your crystals you are restoring them to their natural energetic state. Restoring your crystals allow them to function and assist your energetic needs.

There are many different ways to cleanse crystals .Use sacred smoke to clean your crystals. Run your crystal through the smoke of a sage stick, incense, or Palo Santo. 

These are recommended ways of cleansing crystals, but you'll find your own rutrial.
