Meditating with Crystals
Monday, February 22nd, 2010 | Author: LadyHawk
One of the easiest way a person can meditate is by using crystals. Prior to meditating you need to find the right crystal for you and then be sure to cleanse the energies so your ensuring your crystal is pure. Constantly we have chatter running in our mind, meditation can help us turn that off. In total stillness you may even hear your crystal talking to you. Meditating with crystals is like opening a doorway to another world that will bring peace~solutions~insight~awareness. When you have found just the right crystal you want to take a few days to become in tune with it. If you choose to have more than one meditation crystal, then you want to take a few days to tune into each one, I call it my time of knowing. Each crystal can be used for specific types of meditations or you may choose to have a set for a “crystal of the day”. If you choose to have a “crystal of the day”, I recommend you begin purchasing a set that moves you through the colors of the rainbow ~orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, violet, clear and have a black for grounding.
Meditation Exercise
Prior to beginning you want to take the necessary steps to ensure you will not be disturbed. You will want to place yourself in a comfortable chair with a table in front of you. Settle yourself comfortably and hold your crystal in both hands or place it on a low table in front of you. Breathe gently, allowing each out breath out be a little longer than the in breath. As you begin to exhale, let peace flow like it’s a stream of water running through you. Allow your breathing to settle into an easy rhythm.
Allow your eyes to become relaxed and look at your crystal. You will begin to notice its color, its shape, its weight if your holding it. Then ask the crystal to pass to you it’s vibrations (into your hands). Together allow yourself to float within the crystal, exploring its inner planes. When your ready, close your eyes and quietly meditating with the energies of the crystal and allow it to give you the lessons it has to offers. These lessons come in a streams of thoughts, sometimes fast other times slow. When your finished with the meditation, open your eyes and put the crystal to the side and place your feet firmly on the floor. Your now going to ground yourself. If you have a Smoky Quartz or any specific stone you designated as your Grounding Stone then you want to hold that in your hands. Begin picturing yourself as a tree and your roots are inside of the earth and your feeling the dirt all around you giving you strength and ask the energies to flow through your feet all the way up the body giving you the feeling as your a Pillar of Strength. Once your finished then write down all your messages. These messages may come immediately or during the course of your day.
I like to take this meditation to a new level by adding music in the background. This is my favorite for Crystal Meditations ~

Sometime, I’ll have alone time so that I can meditate daily.
Thanks for this…I think I need to find a new meditation crystal. I have had several throughout my life; I always look at booths at fairs and festivals. Occasionally I find one that calls to me – sounds weird, but usually I know “mine.” And, it has happened on more than one occasion that a seller will see that also and give me the crystal when it’s more than I can pay! Anyway, thanks for the reminder. I’m going to be on the lookout.
