How to Use a Crystal in your Everyday Practice.

1. Cleanse your crystal. You may cleanse your crystal using smoke, saltwater, sound, or Earth. To cleanse your crystal with smoke, allow the smoke of your Sol Intentions smudge stick to flow around the crystal. As the smoke envelops the crystal, say affirmations of clearing any and all previous energy from the stone. Do the same with salt water. Say affirmations as the water flows over the crystals. But, only choose this option for crystals that are compatible with water. To cleanse with sound, utilize chanting, tuning forks, and singing bowls or bells. You can also use specific frequencies. To cleanse with the Earth, bury your crystal in soil overnight and allow all old energy to be absorbed by the Earth. 

2. Charge your crystal. The full moon, visualization, meditation, and affirmations are all ways to charge your crystals with your intentions and energy. Intention is everything. Do nothing without intention.

3. Everyday rituals. Carry your charged crystals on your person. Coordinate the crystals you carry with your intentions for the day. Carry crystals in your car for guided travel and at your work desk for positivity and productivity. Put crystals on your altars and around your home. Meditate with your crystals. place them on your body as you perform breathing rituals. Use crystals in your altar work. The possibilities are endless.
