Using Crystals in Your Life // Part 3 of 3
CJ interviews Nicholas Pearson on his book, “Stones of the Goddess: Crystals for the Divine Feminine,” and the attributes of crystals and what to with crystals once you get them home. There are so many things you can do with your treasures! First, follow the two steps below.
Cleaning Your Stone
The first thing you should do is clean the stone. In Part 2, Nicholas shares that stones are recorders. It’s important that your new stone be cleaned. In his book, Nicholas offers many ways to clean your stone from a simple smudging with sage, to a well-intentioned strong breath (see demonstration in the video).
Programming Your Stone
Once you clean the stone, it’s time to program the stone to work with you. Nicholas cautions that this is not a master-slave scenario, but making your stone a friend. In the video, Nicholas shows how you connect with the stone and to program it to work with your primary goal.
For example, let’s look at Amethyst. Amethyst is used for protection, wisdom, psychic development, healing, purification, devotion, and curse breaking. To program your stone, you need to pick the attributes that are most relevant to you, and focus on those. To program the stone, think of the stone and the attributes you want from the stone, as you hold it. Find out more by checking out the video.
