From common crystals to rare minerals, all stones in the healing world are believed to have their own unique energies and vibrations, that make them positive additions to your life in many different aspects.
From helping to bring self-love, manifesting your goals and dreams, or even helping you to relax and get a better nights sleep. Part of crystal healing is also understanding how you can get the most out of your gemstones, which is why knowing how to activate crystals and set intentions with them is an essential part of the journey.
While all crystals have certain properties that they naturally possess and things they can support you in, it's important to let your crystals know exactly what you would like them to help you with.
It is important to note though, that you do not need to charge or activate a stone to bring out its vibrations and energy, as those already exist within the crystal.
Setting intentions is a way to develop a more personal relationship with your crystals, as you are essentially letting the stone know exactly what you would like them to help you with, and that may change over time, which is why it is important to communicate it.
Keep in mind that these intentions may change over time.
Setting intentions with your crystals is a powerful exercise that can help you to bring more happiness, positive energy, healing, abundance and balance into your life.
To set intentions with crystals, it’s important that your mind, body, and soul are in alignment with your highest self. Don’t try to do this when you’re feeling stressed, worried, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with yourself.
Whatever your goals are, they all begin with an intention, and your crystals are a useful tool to help set you on the right path to manifesting your personal dreams and goals.
Hold your crystal and clear your mind of any negativity. You may like to do a breathing exercise or meditate with your crystal for a few minutes. At Lovecraft, we love to listen to some soothing meditation music or a Hertz frequency for this step.
Choose an intention that is true to your short and long-term goals, trying not to be too specific or materialistic. If you are struggling to think of an intention to speak out loud - if you crystal was purchased from us, you can return to the product listing and use the 'Affirmation' listed for that specific crystal.
A good rule of thumb, when asking the Universe for anything is to focus on a need, rather than just a want.
With a still mind, focus on your crystal and your intention. You may want to describe your intention aloud or repeat it in your head, constantly focusing on the connection between your words and your crystal.
Continue until your body and mind feel that your intention is set.
After you’ve set intentions with your crystals, you can begin to use them in your daily life.
Additionally, as you’re using your crystals, make sure to cleanse them regularly, as they’re continually picking up energy from the outside world. Whenever you cleanse your crystals, take the time to set new intentions or repeat this process and reaffirm old ones.
