Crystals always had a special place in the world, since ancient days. Our ancestors knew about the healing properties of these crystals and used them efficiently as per their requirements.

In some cultures, crystals were used by warriors in their breastplates or in the form of amulets as they believed it offered them protection during times of war. Some civilizations used to place crystals on the dead body of a person to allow him safe passage into the “other” world. Some people used it as a symbol of status and rank, just like how lapis lazuli came to fame because of Cleopatra.

As the world moved forward, so did the affinity of people towards crystals. Unlike how our ancestors used them, modern people used the healing properties of the crystals for a different purpose.

However, it is very important to program these crystals before you start using them. Following are the steps that you can follow to activate your crystals:

Pick a crystal that calls out to you. Let your intuition guide you while selecting the crystal. Once you have your crystal, cleanse it with running water.

To program a crystal, hold it in your hands and sit in a quiet place. This place can be the one where you meditate. Just ensure that it is away from the sound and other disturbances.

Think about what you wish to achieve with the help of this crystal. Program it your intentions and the changes you want in your life.

After this is done, meditate with this crystal and try to feel its vibrations. At this point, you have activated the crystals powers and they have started to have their effect on you.

Sit in the meditative state for some time and slowly open your eyes. You will feel fresh and lively after this session. Keep the crystal in a safe and comfortable space for the next use.
