Crystals Part Three: Programming Your Crystals

Now that you have cleansed your crystals, I'm sure you're wondering what you do with them now. There is a concept called programming - where you set the intention for your crystal based on what you would like to use it for. Crystals compliment your healing needs, however, please check with your doctor if you are concerned in any way or if you notice a change in your health.

Programming your crystals is the term that is used, however each crystal has it's own natural healing properties. You are channeling that amazing energy for the greatest and highest good of yourself, your situation or for your loved ones. As I've mentioned before, selecting the right crystal is just as important as connecting to its energy. Make sure its natural properties will work well together with your needs so that you can heal and release what you need to move forward with your manifestations.

Programming is not meant to change the energetic properties of a crystal. If you try to do so, you may cause confusion with your crystal's energy. It is simply meant to enhance the beautiful properties that your crystal already has for your specific situtation. Do you have to program your crystal? Not necessarily, however programming does enhance how you wish to use it!

I use the word programming, however, I feel as if it's a way of honouring your crystal's natural capabilities. When I use or wear certain stones, I feel quite thankful for the energy that is vibrating from it. You will find that it's a feeling of gratitude for the healing or nurturing energy coming from the crystal, more so than an expectation that it is doing something for you.

Step One

If you haven't done so already, connect, ground and protect yourself. Welcome your Guides to be with you as you set your intention. Welcome and thank the crystal's Guides/Angels for its healing energy and support. Before you begin, it may be helpful to write down what you would like to use this crystal for.

Step Two

Hold your crystal in your hand. If you are unable to hold your crystal, have someone place it in your lap or next to you. Take three deep breaths and center yourself. Take three more regular breaths while focusing on your crystal. Take a moment to connect to it's energy.

Step Three

Speak your affirmation or intention into the crystal. You can use phrases such as:

I dedicate and give thanks to this crystal for providing me...

I dedicate this crystal for the greatest and highest good of...

Some examples could be:

I dedicate and give thanks to this crystal for providing me with clarity in my decision-making.

I give honour and thanks to this crystal for helping me to reduce my anxiety levels in large crowds.

I charge this crystal for the greatest and highest good of clearing and cleansing my throat chakra.

You can end with:

I give thanks, I give thanks, I give thanks, Amen or and so it is.

Step Four

Hold or wear your crystal daily. Connect with it while thinking of your intention. 

I hope that this three part series helped you with your crystal needs. As always, this is how I do things, but everyone is different and this is merely a guide for those that would like to get started on their crystal journey. You will know what is best for you so you can use this as a guide until you find your natural flow. It's all about intention and love.
