Selecting Crystals for You

With there being thousands of different crystal varieties to choose from, selecting the perfect one can seem overwhelming. If you feel drawn to a specific crystal, it can often mean that you are in need of that stone’s particular energy in your life. Here are a few helpful methods to assist you in selecting the right ones:

BY COLOUR: If you are looking to acquire a stone for a particular need, it can be helpful to choose the stone by its colour, for each carries an energy that is related to its colour. For instance, pink and green stones are associated with the heart chakra and are powerful in aiding emotional healing. You may like to look up the colours and their associations first or pick the one that you are drawn to. Either way, selecting a crystal by its colour is an effective way to ensure you are choosing the right stone for your needs.

BY FEEL: Many people like to choose crystals based on how they feel. By holding a stone and focusing on how its energy feels, you will be able to decide whether you are connected to its healing vibration. Some people feel a hot or cold sensation emanating from the stone. Others may feel its energy resonating with a certain chakra or a specific area on the body. This method may take some time to develop, so remember not to feel pressured if you have not yet become fully attuned to this ability.

BY NEED: Crystals can be great sources of comfort and support in all kinds of circumstances. If you are going through a difficult time emotionally, a stone such as rose quartz can bring great comfort and peace. If you are looking for a stone to increase energy, creativity or motivation, carnelian may be the stone for you.
