An Introduction to Crystals
Crystals are natural formations of the Earth, each with their own unique qualities and characteristics. For centuries, crystals have been valued for their beauty and have been used within spiritual and holistic practices to support balance, protection, transformation and personal wellbeing.
Many people feel naturally drawn to crystals and enjoy working with them as a focus for intention, reflection and personal healing. They can be used in many different ways — worn or carried, placed in the home or workplace, or incorporated into a Crystal Healing therapy session.
Discovering the World of Crystals
Every crystal is unique and is traditionally associated with particular properties, qualities and areas of focus. With so many different crystals available, knowing which one to choose can sometimes feel overwhelming.
This is where Crystal Consultant can help.
The Crystal Consultant app allows you to explore crystals in a simple and intuitive way. You can consult the app about an illness, physical concern, emotion, feeling or personal issue, and it will suggest a selection of crystals traditionally associated with that particular area.
For each recommended crystal, you can discover how to work with it and how to use it, helping you move from simply choosing a crystal to developing a more meaningful connection with it.
Work with Your Crystal
Choosing a crystal is only the beginning. Developing a relationship with a crystal and working consciously with its qualities can make the experience more personal and meaningful.
Crystal Consultant allows you to set personal affirmations and reminders, helping you maintain a regular connection with your chosen crystal and the intention you have set for yourself.
An affirmation might be used as a daily reminder of what you want to focus on, release, strengthen or bring more of into your life.
You can return to your affirmation regularly while holding, wearing or spending time with your crystal, creating a simple daily practice of intention and awareness.
Explore the Crystal Library
Crystal Consultant includes a growing library of approximately 50 key crystals, making it easy to learn more about individual crystals and their traditional uses.
You can explore the properties and qualities of each crystal and discover ways to incorporate them into your own practice.
Whether you are completely new to crystals or already have experience working with them, the library provides a simple reference point to help you build your knowledge and confidence.
Cleansing and Igniting Your Crystals
Looking after your crystals is an important part of working with them. Crystals are traditionally cleansed to clear accumulated energy and refreshed so that they are ready to work with again.
Crystal Consultant provides guidance on cleansing and igniting your crystals, helping you understand how to care for them and prepare them for use.
Learning how to care for your crystals can become an important part of your relationship with them and the intentions you set when working together.
Trust Your Intuition
There is a wealth of information available about crystals, and you may sometimes find different or conflicting information about their properties and uses. You don't need to learn everything at once.
While Crystal Consultant can provide guidance and suggestions, your own intuition is also an important part of working with crystals. You may find yourself naturally attracted to a particular crystal because of its colour, shape, feel or simply because it catches your attention.
Use the information available to you as a guide, then allow yourself to explore and discover what resonates with you personally.
Begin Your Crystal Journey
Whether you are looking for support around an emotion, an area of personal wellbeing, or simply feel drawn to exploring the world of crystals, Crystal Consultant gives you a simple way to begin.
Consult the app, discover crystals associated with your needs, learn how to work with them, set an affirmation and create your own personal crystal practice.
Crystal healing is a complementary holistic practice and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure medical conditions. If you have a health concern, please seek appropriate advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
