Hello, lnner Light Seekers!
At Body and Soul Goods, we’re passionate about bringing the natural beauty and energy of crystals into your everyday life. Whether you’re a seasoned crystal enthusiast or just starting your journey, we’re here to explore some fascinating questions: Do crystals have energy? Can you feel the energy in crystals? How can you activate a crystal?
Let’s dive in together!
Do Crystals Have Energy?
The idea that crystals hold energy isn’t just an ancient myth – it’s a belief rooted in both tradition and modern metaphysical practices. Here at Body and Soul Goods, we carefully select each crystal for its unique properties and beauty. Crystals like our gorgeous Amethyst and radiant Citrine are believed to have distinct vibrational frequencies that can positively influence your energy.
Everything in the universe, including our bodies, vibrates at different frequencies. Crystals, with their stable and consistent structures, are thought to emit steady vibrations that can interact with our own energy fields. This is why many people use crystals for healing, balance, and well-being.
Can You Feel the Energy in Crystals?
Feeling the energy in crystals can be a deeply personal experience. Some people immediately sense a warm, tingling sensation or a calming effect when they hold certain crystals. Others might need a bit more time to tune into these subtle energies.
At Body and Soul Goods, we’ve seen how our customers connect with different stones. Our serene Selenite wands often evoke a sense of clarity and peace, while the vibrant Sunstone can uplift and energize.
To feel crystal energy, try this:
- Find a Quiet Space: Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths.
- Set Your Intention: Focus on what you hope to feel or achieve with the crystal.
- Hold the Crystal: Gently hold one of our crystals, like a soothing Rose Quartz bracelet or a grounding Black Obsidian tower, and pay attention to any sensations.
- Be Patient: Sensitivity to crystal energy can develop over time. Enjoy the journey!
How to Activate a Crystal?
Activating your crystal is a beautiful way to set your intentions and infuse the stone with your energy. Here’s how you can activate your Body and Soul Goods crystals:
- Cleansing: Start by cleansing your crystal to remove any unwanted energies. You can use these tools to cleanse your crystals in various ways:
- Running Water: Hold your crystal under running water for a few minutes.
- Smudging: Use the white sage bundle or palo santo stick to smudge and cleanse your crystal.
- Salt Bath: Place the crystal in a bowl of sea salt overnight.
- Sun or Moon Bath: Leave your crystal in sunlight or moonlight for several hours.
- Setting Intentions: Hold the crystal in your hands, close your eyes, and focus on your intention. Speak your intention aloud or silently. For example, if you’re working with our calming Amethyst, you might set the intention for peace and clarity.
- Visualization: Hold the crystal close to your heart, take deep breaths, and visualize a bright light surrounding it. Imagine this light filling the crystal with positive energy and your specific intentions.
- Earth Connection: Bury your crystal in the earth for 24 hours to reconnect it with natural energies. Afterward, retrieve it and set your intention.
- Sound Activation: Use the soothing sounds of a singing bowl or tuning fork to activate your crystal. Hold the crystal near the sound source and let the vibrations permeate it.
Incorporating Body and Soul Goods Crystals into Your Life
Once activated, your crystals from Body and Soul Goods can become a wonderful part of your daily routine:
- Meditation: Hold a crystal or place it nearby during meditation to enhance your focus and intention. Our Amethyst and Selenite are perfect for this.
- Home Decor: Place crystals like our stunning Citrine clusters or calming Selenite towers around your home to create a harmonious environment.
- Jewelry: Wear crystal bracelets, such as our beautiful Rose Quartz or grounding Black Obsidian, to keep their energy close to you throughout the day.
- Workplace: Keep a crystal, like our energizing Sunstone sphere, on your desk to boost productivity and reduce stress.
