Crystal healing is a powerful way to deal with emotional and physical ailments. This type of healing is part of a larger field known as energy work.

    Choosing Crystals

  1. Step 1

    Determine which crystals you will need in your healing work. There are different crystals used for different problems. You would choose one type of crystal to deal with a person suffering from heartache or relationship problems and another for someone suffering from lung ailments.

  2. Step 2

    Open your mind and spirit to the energies of the crystals as you look for the particular crystal. You will feel the pull or energy of the crystal that is for you. In many situations, it is more like the crystal is choosing you rather than you choosing it.

  3. Step 3

    Feel the energy of the crystal. You can do this in many ways. Some hold the crystal, feel the spark or life in the crystal and choose the one that has the most intense energy emanation. Others will look for the crystal that has the strongest draw to them.

  4. Cleansing Crystals

  5. Step 1

    Mix a solution of salt and water. Try to use sea salt and purified water. Allow the crystals to soak in this solution in the sunlight for at least 7 hours, then carefully remove them from the salt water and allow them to dry in the sun. Cleansing of your crystals removes all the negative energies from the crystals and prepares them for use.

  6. Step 2

    Bury the crystals in a container of dried herbs to cleanse them. The herbs of choice tend to be sage, rose petals, sandalwood, myrrh and frankincense. Some other herbs can also be beneficial. This method works well but does take more time.

  7. Step 3

    Smudge your crystals with white sage or sweet grass. This will cleanse the evil spirits and negative energies.
