3 easy steps for what to do with your new crystals - tag a crystal beginner Step 1: Clearing It's always a good idea to energetically cleanse your new crystals (or older ones that haven't been used in a long time) because you don't know what energy they have picked up. Think of the route your crystal took from the earth, to the shop and eventually you. That's a lot of energy to be exposed to so clear them. Step 2: Dedicating / Programming Crystals Once cleared, dedicate or program them. A clear, but undedicated or un-programmed crystal is like an empty space, waiting to be filled. So if you don’t fill it with universal light, or give it a job to do, your crystal can become filled with other energies and may need clearing again sooner than you would like. It also helps you to get clear on what you want to achieve with your stone. To dedicate your crystals, hold them in your hand, a few at a time, and picture a pure light surrounding them. Then repeat your dedication of them aloud or in your mind, 3-5 times in a row. A sample dedication could be, “I dedicate these crystals to be used only for the highest good of all and to be a blessing to all who receive their healing.” Your dedication should embrace who you are, what you believe and the conviction that you only want to use crystals for good, so as to do no harm in your healing or other energy work. Programming works the same way as dedicating them. It’s important to state your program as clear as you can, and again, to repeat it several times in a row while holding your crystal. Step 3: Work with your Crystals Wear or carry them, sleep with them, charge your water with them, create crystal grids, meditate with them or use them in healing layouts on/around the body.
