Crystals are powerful tools that humans have been using for centuries. In today’s world, we are fascinated by their beauty, their geologic qualities, multipurpose uses in technology, and the way that they provide energetic information transfer in spiritual practices. It is the latter that will be focused on today, providing you with intuition expanding guidance on how to consciously connect with your crystals.

But first, it helps to have more information about how they work.

Crystals Store Data

Crystals are formed over millions of years and are record keepers of information. Mother Earth creates crystals to preserve all that which has come before us. Crystals are structurally stable making them ideal to hold codes (like a computer program) and information. Each crystal exists to serve a purpose, sharing universal wisdom that is billions of years old.

Mother Earth programmed crystals storing vast amounts of information in each creation. The code is created from primordial elements that existed before the Earth was formed. Mother Earth collected this information as a way of storing pieces of universal intelligence all over the globe. Crystals carry a high vibration that entrains the environment around them to their frequency.

Crystal Effects On Humans

Humans are attracted to crystals because this high vibration elicits positive emotional responses. Humans are sensitive to the energy in their environment, which is why they will gravitate towards crystals that compliment their overall wellbeing.

The information within each crystal is vast and can easily be tapped into. Humans are encoded with DNA which contains intelligence that is passed from generation to generation. This code responds to the energy of crystals and start to vibrate at the same frequency creating harmony. When this occurs, information transfers are possible. This phenomenon happens naturally on its own, you simply need to be sharing an energetic field with that crystal.

A human’s energy torus is about 6 feet from the physical body in all directions. The energy torus of a crystal is relative to it’s size. When in doubt, plan to be within six feet of a crystal to start to connect to it’s energy. The closer a crystal is to your body, the more intensely you will feel it’s power. That is why people like to wear crystals or hold them during meditation because the energy feels stronger.

Your chakras are energy centers that exist throughout the body. There are 7 main ones, starting at the base of your spine and ending above the crown of your head. These energy centers create a vortex where energy can flow freely between the crystal and your body. As your chakras open up to the crystal, your energetic field starts absorbing the information from the crystal, using it to heal your body, mind, and soul. This usually happens unconsciously, but it is something that our conscious mind can tap into and start to understand.

The following practice will provide you with guidance so you can create a conscious connection with your crystal and gain powerful insights that can help you along your spiritual journey.

Creating A Crystal Practice

Take a crystal that you want to work with. If you don’t have any, use a picture of a crystal that you want to connect with such as the photo in this article.

Find a comfortable spot for meditation and reflection. You may want pen and paper handy to take notes. Place the crystal in your non dominant hand and contemplate the following questions. Reflect on each question for at least 30 seconds before answering.

Inquiry

  • What does the crystal make you feel? Confirm your emotions with your heart before responding.
  • What new sensations in your body arise? Conduct a scan of your body and look for new sensations as well a reduction or lack of typical sensations.
  • Look closely at the crystal and pick one feature to focus on for one minute. Why does that particular characteristic fascinate you?
  • Hold your crystal to your third eye located one inch above the center of your brows. How has your energy changed?
  • Ask your crystal what messages it has for you. Write down the first things that come to mind. If this is difficult, hold the crystal for at least 5 minutes in meditation. Then start writing.

If nothing happened during this process, write that down and revisit the practice for the next few days. See if synchronicities, animal totems, or vivid dreams start to reveal themselves and write about what you think they mean. This is your crystal connecting with you. The effects stay with you and can take a few days to unfold in meaningful way.

Enjoy working with your crystal in this way! Let me know what you think of this exercise in the comments below.
