How To Treat And How To Store The Crystals
Once you found a crystal friend and brought it home how do you treat them how do you store them. In mind that crystals come from the womb of mother Gaia. They're taken from this sacred space within the ground or a cave and we humans are removing them from their natural environment. So how do we provide a sacred and comfortable space for them when they bring them to our home this is a great question to reflect on when we buy crystals from a store they're usually not in the type of environment that they want to live in we can create that sacred space for them when we honor them as unique individual beings that they are.
What kind of environment might a crystal like at our home? Well, they like to be out so that they can be seen and not hidden away in a box or closet, but if they have to be stored then they should be kept in natural materials like leather, cotton, silk or wood leather is more insulating material, and it will keep their energy more quiet, but honestly they prefer to be out where they can work with us and if we just bring our attention to them to work with us than they do how do they work with us crystals can be used to help us on all levels whether it's mental emotional physical or spiritual all levels of our being can be supported by working crystals.
The crystals are alive and we can talk to them. Remember each crystal is a unique beam to hold it in your hands and bring it near your heart to communicate with it. You can talk out loud or telepathically in your mind tell it what you want help with for example if you have a stomach ache you can let them know and request please help bring me back to homeostasis. When you talk to your crystal you may have a sense of how to work with it you may lay on your body or carry it in your pocket for your day the key is to trust your intuition. When picking which crystal to work with scan with your intuition and notice which one speaks to you trust yourself don't rely on books to tell you.
This is about how you build your relationship with your unique crystals when we build a relationship with our crystals we open the door to collaboration with the mineral Kingdom mineral Kingdom supports us as powerful mediators to bring divine energy into the physical in a very pure way.
One way that we honor our crystals is to pay attention and care for them. What do we need to know to properly care for crystal friends but one thing to keep in mind is that they like the sunlight so putting them out about at least once a week where they can be in the sunlight is good but with too much sun they can get dried out so if they're getting dry you can massage them with oil to give them some moisture.
Another big aspect of crystal care is to regularly cleanse crystals. What are some of the most effective ways to cleanse crystals. Since many crystals grow from water one of the best and fastest ways to cleanse it is to give them a bath use running water like in a fountain or a stream and allow for twenty four hours in this running water to complete the cleansing process. Another method is to immerse the crystals in a bowl of sea salt for a couple days. And there are a couple types of crystals that don't need clearing because they self clear and these include selenite cheinite and yellow calcite cycle also be aware that some of the softer more flaky types of crystals dissolve in water for example will dissolve in water so be careful not to put these types of crystals in the water.
What do we do after the crystals are cleansed. Well we can charge them so they will be fully refreshed and full of energy. One method for charging our crystal is to leave them outside for twenty four hour period on a full moon night. Somewhere they can directly take in the moonlight and the sunlight.
