Crystal Correspondences
crystal is a body that is formed by the solidification of a che mical element, a compound, or a mi5ture of them, and has a regularly repeating internal arrangement of its atoms and often e5ternal plane faces. 2ut it's more than that. crystal is one of the many bounties of the >arth's crust. They are a powerful tool and correspond directly to the element of >arth, but also the ir, 6ire and Water. >ach crystal has it's own ibration and thus each ibration corresponds to a correspondences such as healing, protection, rela5ation etc. 2ecause each crystal does hae a ibration, a larger crystal is not any more powerful than a smaller one. larger one might look better, but not eeryone has the means for such a thing. "eeral crystals hae the same correspondences, but, to chose which one you want you must first hae a look at all those crystals without touching them. "ee which one has an effect on you. 0ow, when the crystal has been cho sen, or when the crystal has chosen you, you must indiidually hae a look at the crystals, "eparate the ones which you like from the ones you don't like $ust by haing a look at them. Then, pick up each crystal in you receptie hand, opposite to the powerhand, so if you are right handed it's your left hand, and close your hand into a gentle fist. 6eel the crystals pulse, it should be like a gentle drum rhythm, it could be ery fast, or slow. You will feel whether the crystal is right for you, or not. The crystals ibration will complement yours and act like a 'lock and key' to your aura in the sense that they will blend. The crystal will let you know if it is not for you. newly bought crystal should be cleansed. This could be as long as a whole moon phase, with elemental cleansings, or $ust a simple mental cleansing. 2efore buying that particular crystal, it would hae been touched my many people, and been ne5t to many people who might hae been upset, angry, sad etc. "o this may effect you. To cleanse, it could simply be a dip in salty water, being buried oer night in the ground, gone through crystal cleansing incense &or frankincense, sandalwood or $ust about anything for that matter, maybe een a herbal blend for the crystals purpose(, being placed on a bed of !uart4 crystal, being passed through a flame, fairly !uickly, being brushed with a feather, being placed oernight in moon light, or sunlight. 2e careful because some crystals fade or lose color from being held in the sun, some een dissole in water, or may react with the candle flame, so be careful.

Charging the Crystal
#nce cleansed, the crystal should be 'programmed' or charged. To do this, hold the crystal in your pro$ectie hand &for all intensie purposes its the hand you write with( and focus on the need, be it healing, rela5ing, and so on. Your ibration should bond further with the crystal, which bonded with you when you bought it. "oon you may feel the crystal remember the ibration of the healing energy, rela5ing energy etc. This means it has been successfully charged.
Placement
The mere fact that crystals are placed in an enironment suggests to the subconscious mind that healing, on some subliminal leel, has already begun. When crystals are placed in a room, they will automatically charge that area with energy. They will also absorb and ioni4e that energy in the area which is negatie. The clearing, focusing, radiating b eauty aspects of a crystal, work regardless if someone is a ware of these traits or not. These are the ama4ing elements of a crystal's power. To disperse this energy outward is one of its true gifts. It is een more astonishing when we are aware of itD

I hae tried to include only stones which are readily aailable in most crystal stores. The specific metaphysical and healing properties of these stones can be found in either olume / or : of The rystal Workbook.

When you remoe the stones at the completion of the healing session, do so in the reerse order. The ne5t seen pages has the stones I recommend for a basic healing kit.
