Making contact with a crystal

Actually this is not as difficult as it may sound. The only thing you have to do is to make sure you are open to the energies the crystal emanates and have some knowledge as to how to feel those energies. This being open to it you can train by first of all...well...just be open to it (open your mind, think outside box and all that) and secondly by just doing it a lot.

This actually feeling of the energies also sounds more difficult then it is. For me a good way to learn this was the following:

Make yourself comfortable. Sit down or stand in a relaxed position and close your eyes. Slowly bring the insides of your palms together. Pay special attention to the moment where they seem to penetrate each others energy field. This moment can feel like a sudden increase of temperature or as a slight tingling between your hands. Play with this. Slowly move your hands together and then separate them again, just as long until you are certain you feel a sensation between them. Then hold your hands precisely at the place you first noticed the sensation. Give the energy the time to accumulate. Next, try to separate your hands slowly without losing the sensation. Do you feel something? This is your own energy (your energy body, subtle body or aura). Practise this exercise regularly and you will notice that you will feel it better every time.

When you have this all figured out you have an idea of what energy feels like and you can start to feel the energy that crystals emanate. You do this in the same way as mentioned above actually. Hold the crystal in the palm of your hand. I usually hold it in my right hand, but for this exercise I don't think it really matters in which hand you hold it in. Just do what feels right to you. With your other hand you slowly start to hover above the crystal (4 inches or so). As you move your hand slowly towards the crystal you should be able to feel the energy get stronger. It feels like pushing like poles of two magnets together. Play with this. Slowly bring your hand closer to the crystal and move it away again without using pressure. On a given moment you will notice that you can rest your hand easily above the crystal. It feels like its resting on a pillow of air.

Did it work? Congratulations, you have come a long way already! If not, then do not despair because practise makes perfect. Some people just feel it sooner then others. It could be that you have some energy blockades within yourself to work through first. It may also be that the crystal you are working with is just not sending out as much energy at the moment. Just try a different crystal. Do this anyway, because that way you can feel the difference between them.

It may occur that you feel the crystal vibrate or even move. When this happens the crystal is attuning itself to your frequency. Like crystals We all have a certain energetic frequency too. This is the amount of energy you radiate within a certain time. This movement is nothing to worry about, it is in fact very nice to feel and very special to experience.

By now you may have felt something different (next to the physical sensation of the energy). Did the energy feel happy or sad, light or dark, strong or weak? These are all thing which you can observe when feeling the energy of a crystal. This says something about the crystal. This is also a very good way to find out if the crystal you encounter in a shop or somewhere else is the right one for you at that moment. Did it feel unpleasant, then that crystal is probably not right for you at that time.

When you sit with a crystal for a while you can start to receive other things as well. Things like information. It could be that you directly receive information (mostly through intuitive thoughts) or that you receive answers to questions you ask. Whenever you ask something, you should always be respectful. It is also important to pay attention to how you ask something. Be assured that the question is clear to you and to the crystal. This is the only way you will be able to interpret the answer you get.

So don't go saying something like "tell me your name!" No, do it with respect. Say "do you want to tell me your name?" or " where do you come from?" You get the idea, being respectful helps to create a positive setting. This is especially important when you first meet a crystal. Have you known each other longer, then you can perhaps ease up a bit and be a bit more casual with your questioning. You will notice when the crystal is ready for this.

There are of course other ways of making contact with a crystal. This one just works very well for me.
