DEDICATING A CRYSTAL

When you receive a new crystal, it can be dedicated immediately after cleansing. Dedication is simple but makes an enormous difference to how effective the crystal will be. Dedication focuses the intention that the crystal will be used positively for the highest good of all concerned.

Hold the crystal in your hands, picture light surrounding it and state clearly that the crystal will only be used for the highest good, in light and love.

When you have finished the dedication, you can either move directly on to programming the crystal or you can leave the crystal in the light of the sun or moon(I recommend the moon)

ACTIVATING CRYSTALS

Crystals can be programmed for many purposes. You may want protection, prosperity, peace or love. You may be looking for healing. You may be improving your home or work environment or seeking angelic contact. It is important that programming is well thought out and properly focused. Imprecise wording confuses crystal energies but meticulous wording directs energy precisely.

When you have precisely formulated your intention, hold the crystal in your hands. Sit quietly with it, letting yourself attune to its energy. Let yourself be open to any higher guidance that may be with you. When you feel totally in harmony with the stone, state your intention firmly and clearly. You may repeat this several times to anchor the intention into the crystal. When you intuitively feel that the programming is complete, put the crystal down. Detach your energies from the crystal by taking your attention away from it.

When the crystal has been programmed, you may like to make a special time each day when you sit with it, asking that the energies be transferred to you. Depending on its purpose, you can wear the crystal, place it in your pocket or put it under your pillow or by your bed at night.
