Okay so we’ve figured out How Crystals Work and How To Understand Crystals, now let’s figure out how to connect with them.

Connecting with crystals is like forming a new friendship, there is give and take of information and energy, which is vital in forming a connection. So, say you have a crystal to help you with your anxiety, but you don’t help the crystals through care and cleansing, that connection is going to fade or become ineffective because you’re taking more than you are giving. There has to be a balance.

There are many different ways of connecting with crystals, I think how you connect with them just depends on where you are with your own comfortability around crystals (or your spirit side in general).

Connection through the senses

Winking – No I don’t mean you should wink at crystals (although you can); winking is when crystals attract your attention by drawing your eyes to them. When something has caught our eyes, it is usually down to visual stimulation, attractiveness, energetic output or unusual/distinctive properties. The act of something catching our eye does not involve our conscious brain, but more of our subconscious as the act is before the thought. So, if a crystal has caught your eye, it could mean that there is a message there from your subconscious brain that either the crystal can help unravel or, that crystal can help you with something your subconscious knows you need.

Touch – When we touch objects, we give off thermodynamic energy, vibrational energy as well as emotional and spiritual energy. All of these communicate exceptionally well with crystals (it’s almost like they were made for us…). Holding a crystal in your hand is a great way to connect with it. Explore and tap into the different sensations you may feel. Or maybe you won’t feel anything, that’s okay too. It could just mean that the crystal isn’t suited for you or that it is lab made.

Energetic Output – Crystals give off an energetic output, just like we do. An amazing way of building a connection with crystals is by just holding your hand above them. Combine the energetic fields and see what you feel. Does it make you tingle? Does it bring heat? Vibrations? Some feeling of love or surrender?

Connection through intuition

I believe this one is built off forming a connection through the senses first, as your intuition is heavily connected to your senses and how you perceive the information from what you have picked up, either way forming a connection with your crystals through intuition is pretty powerful.

Your intuition is your ability to know (and trust) something that you can pick up on energetically from your environment/situation. The more you act on your intuition the more you strengthen it. Your intuition provides you with guidance that pushes past any logic or reasoning as your intuition isn’t conscious thinking. Meaning if you are drawn to a crystal through any way and for whatever reason, notice that within you and trust the hunch. Like I said, the more you trust your intuition the more you strengthen it.

Connection Through Meditation

This one might not be for everyone, and I get that, but I have to admit it is an incredible tool to use when creating a connection with a crystal.

The meditation doesn’t have to be long, complicated or excessive. It can be as simple as holding the crystal in your hand, visualising it in your head and allowing the two senses to form a bond. Don’t take it too seriously if you don’t want to, allow your brain to wander if it must, just remember what the key goal was in the beginning.

Connection Through Your Spirit Team

This could be a vice versa. Your spirit team could connect with you first to inform you of a crystal they would like you to work with or, there could be a crystal out there that would help you form a connection with your spirit team.

How to know if your spirit team are suggesting a crystal to you:

You have been getting visuals of a crystal or different types of crystals in your head.

If you’ve been seeing colours or getting worded colours in your head.

You are consistently hearing about or being shown a specific type of crystal.

Connection Through The Elements

Each crystal falls into an element, Fire, Air, Water and Earth. By using this elements and the crystal specific to them, you and create one heck of a bond.

Crystals associated with Fire

Use the power of candle fire and light to create a true ambience of power between you and your crystal.

Crystals associated with Air

Speak to your crystals. Hold them close to your mouth as you speak bonds softly. Spend time focusing on your breath and how you breath. Hold the crystal in your hand as you focus. Gently blow on them if you feel called to do so.

Crystals associated with Water

Some crystals can love water, some cannot. Their chemical properties don’t always go well together, so it is worth checking that before you dunk your crystal in a glass of water in the hopes it will charge it. You could even have a glass container with water, place the crystal on the opposite side of the container to you and look through the water at the crystal. Really get lost in the visuals and tap into the flow and fluidity.

Crystals associated with Earth

You can use dirt, leaves, rocks anything from your garden really to form a connection. Use the tools and space to sit and be. Allow yourself to touch and be inquisitive.

Other Ways Of Forming A Connection

By keeping the crystal in your purse/bag or having it on your bedside table.

Spend some individual time with them

Treat your crystal as you would a friend

Wear them as jewelry

Be grateful for them

Crystals as beautiful things that we have been provided with to help us heal and connect. They deserve to know that we understand, respect and appreciate what they do and can do for us.
