How to Choose a Crystal

Okay, let's be real here. There are DOZENS and DOZENS of crystals on the planet. There are pretty ones, shiny ones, dark ones, ugly ones... and they all comes in varying degrees of brilliance, cuts and sizes.

How can you even think about diving into that mess?

Well, we have the answer. And it is SO simple.

DON'T CHOOSE ANYTHING

Huh? But I WANT one, Stephen!

Yes, yes, I know. What I mean by "don't choose" is in fact, "Let the crystal choose YOU."

Crystals vibrate with the energy of the Earth. Millions of years of natural history are imbued into these stones and they have soaked up the energies and knowledge of time and space over those millions of years. You may have heard people talk about a crystal's "vibrations" or heard a friend preach about how you can "raise you vibrations." These high-vibration fanatics are actually correct. Crystals have this strange, magical vibrational energy that we (humans who struggle to make it past 90) cannot possibly understand. However, we have somehow managed to realize that these stones have a sort of built-in intuition just like we do as humans.

So, how does this help me?

Your friend has been posting about how her new rose quartz facial roller has completely perfected her skin and your old, high school teacher has just started posting live videos about how to use crystal wands for her new reiki studio. You've been skeptical for so long but you've decided you'll jump onto this holistic bandwagon. But... how? Where to start? Unless you're in a city or a touristic beach town, the chances of walking into a crystal shop are slim. But anything can be found online. Specifically, on our website. Just saying. But anyway, back to YOUR journey.

DO THIS

Open the website or walk into the shop.

BREATH.

Let all expectations go.

SCAN

Don't spend too much time on any one crystal. Just let your eyes wander carelessly.

NOTE

As you look around, there will be at least one stone that will stick out to you. Keep that stone in the back of your mind as you continue. Any stone that captures your attention is actually calling out to you. Your mind is choosing these stones based on their healing abilities and natural vibrations, and these stones will contain what you need in this present moment.

BUY

Purchase as few or as many stones as you were drawn to. These stones were meant for you in this moment and the cosmic energy (the same energy we can't understand because we don't live for millions of years) is providing you with answers.

The last thing for you to do after purchasing and attaining your crystals is TRUST. Many people are skeptical of things they don't understand and the truth about crystals is that nobody can possibly understand them completely. But, it is your belief in the crystals that will ultimately allow them to work uniquely for you.
