Working with Crystals: Carrying Your Stones

There are many ways to heal with crystals. Carrying crystals with you

throughout the day is a wonderful way to bring a sense of calm and

stability along. I equate it to having old friends around you when

you need them.

Choosing your crystal(s) for the day: Lay out your crystals on a

table, your alter or your sacred space. Choose the crystal that you

are immediately drawn to. This allows your intuition to make your

decision. There may be a very obvious reason for your choice or the

reason is within your subconscious mind. Whatever the reason, go with

the first choice.

Clarity: We are sometimes drawn to a crystal with great clarity,

which signifies that we may need this in our life that day. There are

many degrees of clarity from clear quartz to the more mineral

comprised stones such as obsidian or lodestone.

Color: We are drawn to color based on the need for that particular

shade that day. Color has great psycho-emotional attraction and

choosing a stone based upon its color is always a great decision.

Shape: We can be drawn to a crystal based on its particular shape.

There are several Universal shapes as well as those shapes, which are

considered the five platonic solids.

Each has meaning and can signify what your needs are that day.

Metaphysical Properties: Choosing stones based on their metaphysical

meanings can give you the advantage you need that day. I love doing

this experiment. Choose a crystal(s) in the morning. Carry them with

you throughout your day. In the evening, look up the metaphysical

properties of these stone. You will often be amazed at how

instinctual your choices were in the morning!

Carrying Multiple Stones: This issue is often divided among crystal

lovers. If you will notice, by choosing multiple crystals, they often

are each other's complement. Either by color, clarity, shape or

metaphysical properties.

In the Color Wheel, the color and their complement are on opposite

sides of each other. The following is the color with its

complementary color:

Red's complement Green

Orange - Blue

Yellow - Violet

Green - Red

Blue - Orange

Indigo - Orange

Violet - Yellow

I have also found that the conflict that may arise from carrying

multiple crystals is actually a conflict from with ourselves. Not the

crystals. If carrying multiple crystals does not feel right to you,

don't do it. Use your instincts. Remember, energy follows thought. Do

what feels right for you. Not what feels right to someone else.

I enjoy carrying multiple crystals. As in herbal, Chinese, Ayurvedic

and homeopathic medicine, the synergy of complements has much to do

with its affective outcome.

Put your crystals in a pouches and carry it with you. This is one of

the most interesting and oldest remedies. Usually a prescription of

2 - 4 crystals, these complementary stones are carried or worn on the

person or placed in a certain area. This prescription can be used for

anything from healing to psychic awareness, healing an emotional

wound as in discouragement or sorrow, or bringing about such aspects

as love, money, protection, guidance, spiritual attunement, strength

or even addiction. You can also carry the stone(s) in your pocket or

pocketbook.
