How To Use Crystals: A Beginner’s Guide
Emma Lucy Knowles, a Crystal Healer, asserts, “What I have seen these last few years especially is this deeper need to connect. I really feel the rise of social media has helped more people rediscover a sense of community as well as a sense of confidence in who they are.
But on the other, we have become reliant on that fix, that energy hit from a small computer in our hand that never really fulfills us fully with that nourishing connection that the heart, soul, and mind need.

Crystals allow us, quite effortlessly, to move fresh energy into the being, offering internal connectivity that enhances your external connectivity. More and more people are tuning into how that energy can be beneficial.”

Defining Crystal Healing
To simply put it, crystal healing is largely associated with striking a balance between an individual’s life & mind, with the help of crystals. To offer my fellow readers, a clearer understanding of the same, let us look at some of the crucial assertions made by some of the experts in the field.
Crystal Healer, Judy Hall, pens in her book ‘The Little Book Of Crystals’, “Crystals are said to have a stable and unchanging energy pattern, each with a unique frequency and energy field, or resonance that gives them special properties. As a result, they act like tuning forks, helping bring ‘harmony’ to the ‘very unstable energy field of the human body’.”
Another Crystal Healer, with an experience of almost two decades, Michelle Roques- O’Neil, asserts that, “Crystals are different combinations of minerals that help purify, balance and realign by working with our bioenergetic systems.”

How To Choose The Correct Crystal For You?
One should always choose their stones relying on their gut. In fact, depending on one’s individual senses is the only thing that will drive you to the correct stone that you need. If judging by color, the dark-colored crystals are known to focus more on safeguarding an individual. Black symbolizes protection & brown, cleansing. While lighter colors like, white symbolizes purity, and green, calm.
However, the pink and the red- stones usually depict nothing but love and energy, respectively. Not to forget yellow, which symbolizes wealth.
Attention should be given to the shapes as well, while choosing one. Round-shaped crystals emit equal ounces of energy around them, while, the pointed ones, either direct positive energy inward or negative energy outwards- from the body.
How To Use & Store, One?
Emma Lucy Knowles, the crystal expert, states that the best way to use a crystal is to,
“… it is necessary to occasionally cleanse and charge your crystals too, as much like a sponge, your crystals soak up the remanences of your emotion or day. To do so, bathe them in cold water before laying them out in the moonlight or on your windowsill during a full moon. When a full moon feels too long away – you can either wash them through or nest them in sand or natural salts.”
When it comes to storing a crystal, you can literally store it anywhere you, please. But it is advisable to wear it at all times, for better results.
