How To Set Intentions For Crystal Energy Work

In my previous blogs I have discussed how to clear the energy from minerals and crystals, and also how to activate the matrix energy that exists within minerals and crystals. Now it’s time to discuss practical use.

Crystal energy is subtle energy, and aligns itself with your intentions.  The best way to use crystals in your everyday life is to set an intention for the specific crystal you are using.

Setting intention when you are working with crystals is the most important step in using your crystals. Crystals can certainly aid us in discovery and assist us in bringing about change, but the reality is that if we remain unwilling to change in certain areas of our lives the crystals themselves will have little effect.

Here are three great ways to set your intention:

Speak Your Intention

This is one of the best ways to set your intention. Saying it out loud solidifies your intention both for yourself as well as in the energy matrix of the crystal.

You may even want to come up with a specific invocation related to the area you want to focus on, for example: “My intention for using this crystal is to bring forth prosperity and abundance in my life experience.”

Feel Your Intention

Using our feelings in energy work is an excellent way to create momentum, however I would not recommend using this particular method if you have had a lot of difficulty associated with the area you are intending to heal.

To use this method you feel as though you already have accomplished what you desire associated with the healing.  This infuses the matrix energy of the crystal with the vibratory pattern of what you desire.

Visualize Your Intention

This is a wonderful way of aligning yourself with what you desire to accomplish, while using a crystal. For example, if you are attempting to bring about healing in your love life you can visualize yourself being happy in a relationship.

I would recommend not focusing too much on a particular individual if you are doing this practice, but rather see your desires being met.

It is easy to enter into a negative state if you have been unsatisfied in your relationship for many years, and the goal of this exercise is to create positive momentum.

For instance, if you want a partner that will have long conversations with you, visualize yourself having fulfilling conversations. This will set the intention of the desire being fulfilled within the matrix of the crystal.

These are by no means a complete list of ways to set intentions, nor do you have to choose one method over the other. I use all three when I am working with crystals. It is best to find the method that works for you.

It is important with all healing practices that you take a holistic approach, and adopt methods that assist you in many ways. Crystal energy is often subtle, but when someone aligns his or her intention to it through action it can create wonderful results.

My prayer is that each person reading this article will find the strategies that work best for them to bring healing to themselves and also the planet.
