Whenever I receive a new crystal, this is the first meditation I enjoy doing with it.
REMEMBER: Read all steps through before performing the meditation. There is a graphic with the condensed version at the bottom. Only work with cleansed crystals. Always use your intuition when following a meditation. If something feels off(i.e. too long or short) alter it to best fit your level of healing. Write down your own steps to perform this meditation consistently with your individual crystals. This is simply what I do and what works for me.

Crystals: any single crystal
Supplies: pen & paper to take notes(suggested)
Location: Quiet outdoor(suggested) or indoor or area with minimal to no distractions (under a tree in the park, your bedroom, a garden)
Duration: 30 mins – 1 hour
- Set the crystal on the ground and sit down before it. If not possible, set the crystal on a table and sit on a chair. Ensure the crystal is within arm’s reach.
- Close your eyes and tune into your own breath. Still your conscious mind and focus your energy on steadily deepening your breath. Your eyes should remain closed until step 8. Note: If you are new to meditation and crystal work, you may want to spend extra time here familiarizing yourself with your own energy and frequency. This will ensure you get through the rest of the meditation smoothly.
- Hold out your receptive hand (the right hand if you’re left-handed and the left hand if you’re right-handed) and hover it back and forth just a few inches above the floor/table, without touching the stone just yet. Focus your energy on the feeling of this hand. (It is important not to try to feel the stone’s energy but to allow the energy of the stone to interact with yours. When I hover my hand over a citrine, I feel a warm, tingly energy coming from the crystal on the palm of my hand. As my hand gets further from the crystal the warmth fades away). Pass your hand back and forth several times to feel the sensation come and go. As crystals have energy fields just like us, it is normal for these feelings to occur, and confirms your ability to work with crystals.
<br> - Once you feel you have pinpointed the exact location of the crystal, lower your receptive hand so it falls directly on top of the crystal. If only half your hand lands on the stone, try the exercise again and until your hand fully lands on the crystal. Pick up the crystal.
- Continue to hold the crystal in your receptive hand for some moments. Use your intuitive nature to continue to exchange information with the stone through your psychic mind. Analyze how it feels. Does it make you feel lighter or heavier? Calm or energetic?
- Hold the stone a few inches from your body, near your crown chakra or the top of your head and slowly bring it down. How does it make you feel? Does the energy of the stone vibrate within you as you do so? Is it a ray of sunshine or a reflection of moonlight on a river?
- Now hold the crystal in your projective hand(the left hand if you’re left-handed and the right hand if you’re right-handed) and feel out the physical qualities of it. Notice whether it is rough, smooth, glossy has grooves etc. It it hard or brittle, cold or warm? Is it dense or light? Hold on to these traits while continuing to feel out the crystal.
<br> - Open your eyes and look at the crystal. Reference the information you learned in the previous steps while studying the crystal with your eyes. At this point in the meditation, it should look a way it never has before. Gaze at the crystal and use your conscious mind to analyze it. Make mental notes of the shape hue of the crystal. Allow the color to fill your mind.
- After a thorough connection with the crystal, you should know when the meditation is over. Your mind may also have wandered off a bit. To complete the meditation: hold the crystal in both hands, hold it up to the sky, then down to the ground, finally press it against your stomach.
- Take notes on what you discovered. Look up information about the stone, we have a list of some here. See what matches up with what your learned intuitively through your psychic mind.
- Extra Step: Carry the crystal with you for up to several hours after the meditation and allow the subtle changes to affect your being. If not, cleanse the crystal and return it your atlar or it’s safe place.
