One of the most important, and often overlooked, steps in learning to use crystals for health, balance, abundance or any other goal is setting your intention, or programming your crystal. Crystals want to work for you but before they can do that, YOU need to tell them what to do.  In other words, you have to give your crystal a job and a purpose.  We have all had moments when we aren’t feeling particularly great, we might be vibrating at a lower frequency than normal and you just aren’t in sync like normal.  In cases like this, your best intentions can go overlooked and fly right out of the window.  When you sit down, get quiet and reconnect with your programmed crystal, it will help you to remember your goals and your unlimited potential.

Programming your crystal is very simple. The first step is to cleanse your crystal. You can choose your preferred method of clearing, and what resonates with you the most. Here are some of our favorite ways to cleanse and clear the energy of your stones:

• Sun/Moon: Place your crystal out under the light of the sun or the full moon for at least 4 hours.
• Sound: Download and play the music of Tibetan singing bowls, the Om mantra, or Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.
• Smoke: Immerse your crystal in the smoke of a burning sage stick, Frankincense resin or Copal incense.
• Earth: Bury your crystal in the Earth and allow it to become recharged with Earth energy.
• Other crystals: Place it on top of a Selenite plate or in a Selenite Bowl  to clear and cleanse any stuck energy.

After cleansing, hold your crystal or crystals in your hands, close your eyes, and take three deep breaths. Then, while in this space of love and light, ask that your crystal be cleared of all unwanted energy or previous programming.  You are ready to start working with your crystal.

You can speak out loud or simply say these words in your head, say: “I ask that the highest vibration of love and light connect with my highest self to clear all unwanted energy or any previous programming. I activate this crystal. I command this crystal to hold the intention of . . .” To finish the sentence, add your intention for your crystal—an energy and goal that you wish it to hold for you.  Repeat your intention three times, and end by repeating “thank you” three times.  By saying it three times, you emphasize that what you’re asking for already exists in the universe.  Give it a try for yourself.
