Use of Crystals part two

So now you have had your crystal(s) for a while.

And cleansed, cleared, charged in the sunlight, or moonlight, etc.

What else can be done. Well, there are numerous books, and if you are interested in using
a crystal grid to balance and restore your energy field, I would suggest checking them out at
a bookshop that would carry new age, or just into minerals for personal use stuff.

They are fairly common.

So you get up the night after a big party, say, where there were people who maybe
felt a little off to you, but just to be nice you talked to them, spent a lot of up personal and close
quarters, it might have been crowded, what have you. And you feel drained, icky, off kilter,
etc.

It happens. Sometimes people you met, come across in a store even, just slop their
personal emotional garbage all over everyone elses energy fields when you are mingling.

Has happened to me. So this is what I do, if for some reason I really feel drained or off.

I take a smudge stick, light it, and using a little smudge fan ( not an electric one) slowly
holding the stick or securely placing it where the smoke can raise near me, safely, use the fan
to work the smoke towards my body. I turn halfway, fan the smoke, turn the other way, and
fan the smoke, The pick up a crystal I keep and have tuned for just this purpose, and with one
hand, sweep it down the front of me, down the sides of me, and using one hand, over the head,
down the back of my head, shoulders, then switch and sweep down the lower back and legs,
bending as I do so. I then run the crystal down both arms, across the chest, heart area, up the
throat, to the brow, then up to the crown of the head.

Following this, I take the crystal and put it in the smudge smoke, so the smoke flows
around it, and I blow on it also, up and down, then allow it to be smudged again. Cupping it
it in both hands I give gratitude to the crystal, and see it being my own tool for clearing.

Then gratitude to the field of existence from the Heart for all I have been given, much
Love, and put out the smudge stick, and put the crystal in a safe spot till next time.

You can keep your crystals in a dish of sand to stay together, and have one big crystal,
or a good size cluster to act as a generator for the rest. That is to charge that one big one with
the intent of recharging your group with the energy you give to it. This helps to keep them
ready for use. But I do stress, cleansing and clearing if you use some of them on other
people before you put them back in the group.

Some of mine are just for me, some are for working on other people, etc. But still, all of
them need to be handled by only me. If I do let someone else hold one, and I do keep track,
and I do like to share and show them now and then, then I make sure to clear them.

Please feel free to read up on this subject, as it is a very large field, and if you are new to
crystals, you may be surprised by how much info there is.
