Crystal: How do I select crystal?

There are so many types of crystal, how do I choose for myself or for others?

First and foremost, ask yourself why do you need the crystal for before you search for the correct ones to help the condition or symptoms.

Follow your gut feeling or intuition. Feeling drawn or attracted in any way to a crystal suggests that you may need it. It will stand out from the rest, as though shouting out loud to you, waving at you and that is the one for you. However you are drawn to the crystals, they will help you, often in an unexpected ways. If you are selecting as a gift for friend, keep that person in mind when choosing. Sometimes it helps to look at a photo of that friend or write their name on a paper.

Sometimes when we work with crystals, we may feel emotional, perhaps shedding some tears or being irritable, as you release the ensnared disturbing experience. After a while, the emotion is freed, you will feel better. These are the unpleasant feeling or experiences one encounter and had suppressed  them and buried deep in our subconscious.

Take the crystals that attracts your attention and hold it in your palms. Close your eyes and relax while holding onto the crystals. You may feel a tingling on your palm or a pulsating feeling or a sensation of warmth or coolness. You may also feel an energetic charge in some part of your body, such as the top part of your head or middle of your chest.

If these sensations are pleasurable, the crystal you hold in your palm is resonating with some aspect of your body and is likely to be a good one for you to work with. If the sensations are unpleasant, it maybe  good to read about the crystal properties and ask yourself whether it is bringing up something you are avoiding. Take note of what you had discover so that you can come back to this crystal later.
