Here are three methods of how to choose a crystal that’s right for you. Have you ever felt drawn to a particular crystal or even repelled by one?
You may think it was just the colour you liked or that it was just really pretty but this was more likely your intuition guiding you to what you really need.
Sometimes things are not so clear though or we may have several options or recommendations available to us. Maybe you don’t fully trust your intuition?
Here are three ways to select a crystal that’s right for your energy and needs.
How to Choose a Crystal for your Needs
Choose a Crystal by its Properties
For crystals for common ailments you can use the Tags the Crystals section. All good crystal books should come with an index which enables you to look up the properties, not just the name of the crystal. You can also choose the crystal by its chakra association, visit my Chakra section for more information. You may have several choices in which case you can see what’s available for you or use one of the following methods to make your final decision.Choose a Crystal by Dowsing
This is a more advanced method unless you are already familiar with pendulum dowsing yourself. You can ask yourself if a particular crystal is right for you while holding a pendulum. A strong yes response would be what you are looking for. You can work through lists of crystals this way or create a crystal dowsing chart. If you want to learn more about this method do get a book on pendulum dowsing and develop this skill. Click here for our range of Gemstone Pendulums. I will be writing a blog on Dowsing in the future so look out for it.Choose a Crystal with your Intuition
This is going with what you feel drawn to when you see crystals in a shop, photos of them online or in a book. Always go with your initial response or ‘gut feeling’. Certain crystals should just catch your eye. Keep looking then come back to see how you feel a second time. Hold the crystal if possible, do you want to keep it in your hand? If you do this is a good sign. With photos see how the image makes you feel, do you feel a pull towards the crystal? Does it light you up inside? Consider revisiting it the next day and if you still feel the same then go for it! It’s always good to look up the properties of the crystal afterwards and see how this fits your needs. I find this can be scaringly accurate!
