How to Use Crystals to Balance Personal Energy and Increase Well-Being
Crystals help to amplify, direct and balance the flow of life force in your body and environment according to Brenda Rosen, author of "Crystal Basics." Millions of years ago, hot gasses and mineral solutions rose to the surface of the earth from its molten core according to Mary Lambert, author of "Crystal Energy." As the gasses and mineral solutions cooled, atoms merged into specific patterns that formed three-dimensional lattices and formed the crystals we know today. This structure, according to Lambert, lets the crystals absorb, strengthen and transmit electromagnetic energy that can heal and energize a person.

Stand before a collection of crystals. Close your eyes. Open your eyes again, note which crystal draws your attention, and pick it up.
Hold the crystal in your hands and wait for a sensation such as warmth, tingling, a surge of energy, a vibration, humming or perhaps light coming from the stone. Try another stone if nothing happens or if the energy does not feel right for you.

Think about your intention for that crystal, take it into your hands and sense its energy. Then say, "I intend this crystal to..." and add whatever your intention is for the crystal. Repeat the intention two or three times according to Lambert.

Tips & Warnings
Remove negative energy at the end of each session using the breath cleansing method. Breathe deeply, focus your mind on removing any negativity from the crystal and relax while you hold the crystal in your hand. Say, "I cleanse this crystal with love." Breathe in deeply and exhale forcefully while visualizing any bad energy coming off the crystal being absorbed by the earth and transformed into vibrant energy, according to Mary Lambert, author of "Crystal Energy."
