Wrap your crystals in a soft cloth when you’re not wearing them to protect them. The crystals that give you energy shouldn’t be worn at night.

 

As soon as the crystals have been soaked you will have to dedicate them to the purpose for which you use them. The crystals will draw on that specific energy. Hold the crystal and think of the specific purpose for which you want to use it. Say out loud “I program this crystal for (your purpose). You may want to repeat this several times and after every time you soak them.

 

You could meditate with your crystal. Hold it in your hand and breathe gently. As you breathe out, let go of any stress and as you breathe in, let peace flow in. Look at your crystal and notice it’s color and shape. Feel it’s vibrations. Then close your eyes and think about the energy of the crystal. When done, open your eyes and put the crystal down.
