Crystal healing/alternative therapies

[FlipFlop0706]

Hi all,
Anyone into Crystal healing and alternative therapies?

I picked up a few crystals today and am interested to hear more. I went with what I felt “drawn to” when choosing them and then when I went to pay, the lady put little cards in explaining each one that I had chosen which strangely fit in with my mood /energy at the moment. She then also told me I had a lovely aura which was nice!

Do I need to do anything with them as in cleansing them?

Where should I keep them?

How do I “use” them?

Interested to hear from anyone else!

Haven't done it myself but a friend of mine uses them, she used to say that to cleanse them properly she would wash each in a little bowl then let then sit in the sunlight to dry, the sunlight helped their energies she said

They say to pop crystals out on the windowsill during a full moon to charge them and also to use selenite plates. I haven't used them for healing but I do like crystals and reading about their strengths.

I’m really intrigued by crystals, but no idea where to start.
I don’t have any crystal shops near me so I would have to buy online.
When I start looking up their properties though, I feel like I need all of them
Let us know if you feel they help you at all?

Ha I know what you mean! I looked up the ones I’d chosen last night and then I got sucked into learning more about different ones and was like “oh dear, I’m going to need that one and that one and that one!”

At the moment I’m just kind of following my intuition with them, before I went to bed last night I took five mins out to just sit with one called selenite which apparently promotes peace and calm. Just tried to empty my brain whilst focusing on holding it and I did actually feel calmer after doing it. I don’t know whether it was psychosomatic as I purposely made the effort to try and clear my head but my logic is if this crystal makes me purposely take the time out to do this then it can only be good right? I think if I didn’t have the crystal in my hands then my mind would have wandered but by playing with the crystal, it kind of put that negative energy into it if that makes any sense?

Makes complete sense; I think basically anything that helps you focus on being still and calm for a while, can only be a good thing.

I love them! Make sure you cleanse them asap to remove any previous energy they held.
