Ways to use Crystals in your everyday life.
How can we use crystals in our daily lives ?
Crystals have been within Mother Earth for millions of years, they have a healing energy that can benefit each and everyone of us. I have worked with crystals for more than 30 years, back when I first started, I can remember being taught that crystals would be available to mankind as their vibrations were needed. I didn't really understand this back then. Now thirty years on, I realise that there are so many crystals that have come out of the earth, many that were not available when I first found my love for crystals. We can work with crystals in many different ways, there is no right or wrong, but instead it is a personal choice, which will depend on each individual.

Wearing Crystals as Jewellery
Since the beginning of time people through all ages have worn crystals as jewellery. Beautiful crystal necklaces, brooches and rings have been found in ancient tombs of the great pharaohs. Wearing crystals allows them to interact with your bodies energy field and chakras in a positive way. You can set an intention for the crystal, throughout your day touching or holding the crystal will encourage emotional, mental and spiritual healing. Remember to cleanse the crystals frequently as they may also pick up and hold onto other peoples, and environmental energies. .

Create a crystal grid
Crystal grids are when crystals are placed into a geometric sacral space. This will amplify the energies of the crystals. Think about what energies you want to work with. Choose your crystals intuitively. Place them into a grid pattern, you can place them onto a pre-made wooden, selenite or cloth grid, or you can place them throughout your home in a sacred geometric grid pattern. Most grids surround a central stone, which is the anchor for the energy of the grid, the surrounding crystals amplify the intention of the central crystal to the universe. when you have laid out the crystals in your grid, you will need to charge and activate the grid with your intention for manifestation.
