Crystals or gemstones can heal and aid us in a variety of ways. It is quite important to know how to choose the crystals that are a good fit for you. It’s true that you should buy what you’re drawn to but let’s think about this in terms of home utensils or tools…
Would you buy three hammers just to hang a picture? Do you need two capable pairs of scissors to wrap one gift? Most likely not, as you only need one.
Once you buy your crystal and get it home, there is a process of cleansing, charging, and bonding that is required so that you can infuse the crystal with clear intent before working with it. I have written a separate blog about that here.
Keep in mind that you don’t need a huge piece for the crystal to do it’s job. Palm stones work wonderfully! Additionally, the more that you work with the stones, the stronger the results are.
I recommend that you buy one that fits into the palm of your hand… it’s easier to keep it in your pocket.
How To Choose Which Crystal To Buy
For the more common crystals, I suggest:
Go to the store and gather all of the symptom’s crystals
Line them up
Pick them up one at a time, enclosing the crystal in your fist – it doesn’t have to be tight.
Close your eyes and focus on the crystal and ask if it is meant for you. Experience how each one feels in your hand. Try not to rush. If you take your time, you should feel a bit of electromagnetic energy or warmth from the right stone. Or, perhaps you will just instantly know which is the right one for you once you hold each one of them?
For the more rare crystals, you may have to buy them online. To buy crystals online, follow the steps above, however, try using the pictures as your guide.
Gather and save pictures of each stone to choose from and save them in a separate folder (for easy transition).
With your eyes open, focus your mind on each picture of gemstone separately. Allow your vision to go slightly out of focus… just like daydreaming.
Focus on connecting with the stone, ask if it is meant for you.
Then close your eyes and use your Third Eye (mind’s eye) and imagine holding it in your hand.
Whichever method you use to choose the crystals, buy the stones that felt the most harmonious or bonded to you.
Try not to let the look of a crystal sway your decision.
How To Use The Crystals
To Use Crystals and Gemstones:
For Focused Healing Meditation: Hold over or place on the corresponding chakra listed with each crystal. Then meditate on the symptom, but be clear and concise about what you want healed.
For All Day or General Healing: You can wear these as jewelry, or carry in your pocket.
If you bought what is called a ‘Point’ (one end looks like an arrow) be sure that you use it correctly!
If you want to bring yourself a good property of the stone (such as self love), point it towards yourself.
If you’re trying to let go of a condition (such as low self esteem, or past relationship issues) point it away from you.
To learn what to do with your newly bought crystals and what it means to “work” with them, read this blog. It teaches you how to properly clear, charge and work with your crystals. It may be time to do this with your older ones anyway!
Crystals are rapidly becoming more popular. About 50% of my clientele have admitted to buying them but only half of those people know that they’re meant for specific uses or personal symptoms.
It may be time to clear-charge-bond-infuse your older crystals anyway! It should be done after specifically working with a crystal or if it has been sitting out in the open longer than a month.

List Of Symptoms (and the crystals that can help heal them)
Here you can learn about some crystals and gemstones that I have used and had personal success with. Many are inexpensive but there are some that will cost more, especially if you’re buying the crystal already set in jewelry.
Keep in mind that you don’t need a huge piece for the crystal to do it’s job. The more that you work with them, the stronger the results are.
I have listed certain conditions below and the crystals that will help. Do your research. I have included many links to crystals in the list, however, not to every one as there are simply too many.
There is often more than one crystal that you could buy, which is where your intuition kicks in. After doing your research, which one are you drawn to the most?
Use the appropriate crystals to heal these particular symptoms or conditions. I would, however, add that there are a few crystals in the list that have dual or even multipurpose.
For example:
Shungite (Pictured below) – Everyone should try to own at least one palm-sized piece of Shungite. I cannot say enough about this particular mineraloid. It may not be all that pretty but the multiple affects from this stone are amazing!
Shungite removes all low vibrations and negative effects; toxins, stress, nervousness, psychic overwhelm, emotional trauma symptoms. It enables and progresses grounding, focus and tranquility. Furthermore, Shungite is said to be able to remove bacteria and act like a carbon filter for water! This stone is special! Check it out here.
Blue Drusy Quartz (also known as Blue Druzy Quartz – Note – careful not to confuse it with Blue Agate – Blue Drusy Quartz grows inside of Blue Agate and there are many sellers who will try to convince you that they are the same). Image from CrystalViden.com
Grounding :
Grounding is detoxification of negative (too high or too low vibration) energy, as well as, bringing your energy vibration frequency down to an earthly level so that you can relax, focus on life and be at peace.
