Crystal Shopping | Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning

If you are a beginner to using Crystals the best steps to take before even going into the gem shop, going online or attending a trade show is to determine what your needs are.

First Step

The first question to ask yourself is:

What purpose do I have for obtaining crystals? Is it for healing, meditation, goal setting, focus, home decor, making jewelry, and for creativity, etc.?

The second question to ask yourself is:

What area of life to I want to enhance with the crystals benefits? Is is health and wellbeing, career, study and education, relationships, and goal setting, etc.?

The third questions to ask yourself is:

What benefits or qualities am I longing for? For example:

These three questions identify your intention. Crystals are a way to focus attention using an intention to manifest. One of the biggest time wasters is going into a store or show without a connection to your purpose for getting a crystal. Not only at the show, but for the next period of time of not knowing what to do with it or how to display it that could last for years. Be prepared for success in exploring crystals knowing your intention.

Second Step

Once you identify the qualities your are seeking by answering the above questions, including naming the life area you long to enhance with them, the exploration then becomes what crystals speak to those qualities, or your needs. This would be when you can feel more prepared to go into a shop, online or trade show to search out what crystals or stones would fulfill your needs. However don’t forget the important 3rd step!

The Third Step

The third step is to look around the space you would like to place the crystal or stone in. How much space do you have? What will you display it on? Will it be in a showcase position or in a bowl with other stones. If for healing is there a dedicated space. Is it for your office desk or nearby, etc.?

To save future clutter and finances prepare yourself by connecting to your intention. Crystals and stones languish in cupboards and on shelves gathering dust in unattractive arrangements as some buyers didn’t start out with a connection to what purpose it would fulfill for them. It was attractive, or sounded good, and an impulse buy. In mentoring or coaching, Renee has experienced many people who have bought crystals impulsively and then forgotten them on the shelf or in storage. Crystals are alive with qualities and meant to be used. The more they are used the brighter and more beautiful they are. Those forgotten ones become lackluster and dusty. As crystals are accelerator’s they absorb their surroundings, as people do, and emanate the energies back out the same as people do.
