How to choose the right crystal for yourself?

It can be confusing choosing the right crystal gemstone for yourself. With the myriad of information out there about these precious stones, you may find yourself attracted to all their benefits and be tempted to make impulse buys with little knowledge of how and when to use them.

For those who are just starting out on your journey with gemstones, here are some tips to break it all down for you to create a meaningful collection.

1. Begin by asking yourself who you are, where you are in your life and what you most desire. Always be guided by your intentions and the qualities you'd like to manifest.

2. To manifest positive energy to reach a goal or strengthen your resolve to achieve something; choose a crystal that speaks to you. For example, to generate wealth and prosperity, use Citrine; to find love or boost your interpersonal relationships, use Rose Quartz.

3. To alleviate distress caused by life's troubles, start from there to identify a suitable gemstone. For example, to overcome anxiety or physical ailments like migraine, use Amethyst.

4. Decide how you'd like to carry these crystals in your daily life. For example, some people carry gemstones in their purses or pockets while they go about with their day manifesting the energies they desire, while others prefer to wear it as jewellery. If you plan to carry more than one crystal, make sure they complement one another.

Now that you have been empowered, are you ready to follow your heart's journey?
