To begin your crystal meditation, hold your crystal in your hands. Close your eyes, and observe the crystal through non-visual senses. Imagine the crystal's power vibrating with your breath. Depending on your crystal-sensitivity, you will be able to feel the crystal-power… either as a tingling in the area where you have placed the crystal or as a pulsation in your chakra energy centers. For best results, start out slow and proceed to practicing meditation with crystals for short bouts, several times a day.
Some crystals are known to be particularly beneficial for programming your intentions while others are known to invite more loving people in your life. There are other crystals that attract money and certain other crystals that help with infusing courage and strength during trying times! For e.g. using a crystal on your third eye will open up your psychic and spiritual connections whereas rose quartz will open your heart chakra.
The process of cleansing your crystals is important for your meditation practice. Although this practice is purely personal, it will deepen your meditation and help you get in touch with your higher self.
As with any other form of meditation, you need to choose the right place to meditate- a place that is clutter-free and away from distractions. If you are not able to sit on the floor (which helps with the grounding), then make sure that you are sitting in a comfortable straight-backed chair. This will ensure that you are able to relax but at the same time are also alert enough to do the contemplation.
The next step is choosing the right crystal for your meditation. Different crystals can have different energies, so be sure to choose one that resonates with your needs. Clear quartz is an ideal choice for beginners as it resonates with all chakras. It also amplifies the energy of other crystals and stones, making it perfect for any crystal meditation.
Amethyst is a purple quartz crystal and is also considered a very good crystal for contemplative mediation. The deep purple color of this stone helps you to connect to higher vibrations, allowing you a deeper insight into the issues that you are pondering.
In addition to helping you connect with the inner world, crystals can also help you connect with the earth. You may choose to create a peaceful atmosphere by clearing your space with a crystal. There are many ways to do this, and smudging is one of them. The burning of dried herbs is a common method. Consider this spiritual house-cleaning. And once you have cleared the space, you can begin your meditation.
Try for yourself and see how crystals can help to enhance not only your spiritual practice but also help you in practical ways to connect with deeper layers within your own psyche and the cosmos.
