Choosing a crystal can be a personal experience and often depends on one's intention or wishes. Here are some steps and tips to help you choose the right crystal:

Intent or Purpose: First, decide why you want a crystal. Are you looking for peace? Protection? Love? There are different crystals that are associated with different benefits or properties.
For example:
For love: Rose Quartz
For peace and quiet: Amethyst
For wealth or success: Citrine

Intuition: Many believe that the crystal chooses the person rather than the other way around. When you go to a store or look online, you may feel drawn to a particular crystal based on its look, feel, or the energy you perceive from it.

Physical Characteristics: You may be drawn to a crystal based on its color, shape, or size. Sometimes a crystal that looks particularly beautiful or unique may appeal to you the most.

Fact: Read about the different properties that the crystals are said to carry. Books, websites, and experts in the field can provide you with information about the traditional meanings and uses of each crystal.

Advice from experts: If you visit a crystal shop, the staff can often offer advice or insight based on their experience and knowledge.

Hold it: If buying from a physical store, hold the crystal. Notice how it feels in your hand.

Purification: Regardless of which crystal you choose, it may be a good idea to "purify" it when you first receive it to clear it of any previous energy. This can be done by holding it under running water (not all crystals are water resistant, under each crystal on our website you will find which ones are water resistant), placing it in sunlight or moonlight, smoking it with sage or Palo Santo. There are several different methods. Remember that although some traditions or sources attribute particular properties to crystals, what matters most is how the crystal feels to you personally. Trust your intuition and enjoy the process and experience of choosing a crystal.

Belief in the healing and magical powers of crystals dates back thousands of years and is found in many different cultures around the world. But why is it said that different crystals have different powers? There are several perspectives:

Historical and Cultural Traditions: Many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese, used crystals for both practical and ceremonial purposes. These uses were often based on traditions and myths, and as a result, these beliefs were passed down through the generations.

Aesthetics and color psychology: The different colors of the crystals can affect how we perceive their powers. For example, rose quartz with its soft pink color is often associated with love and compassion. Color psychology plays a role in how people feel when they interact with different colors.

Personal Experiences: Many people claim to feel different energies or vibrations from crystals. These personal experiences can contribute to the belief that crystals have specific powers.

Resonance and Vibration: Everything in the universe vibrates at different frequencies, including crystals. Some claim without scientific evidence that these vibrations can affect human energy fields and chakras, which would give each crystal unique "powers" or energies.

Symbolism: Some crystals may be rare, difficult to mine, or have a particular shape, which may contribute to their perceived value or power. For example, diamonds, because of their hardness and rarity, are seen as symbols of eternal love and strength.

The placebo effect: If someone believes that a crystal has a certain power, the belief itself can create a perceived effect. For example, if you wear a crystal that is said to reduce stress and really believe in its power, you may actually feel less stressed thanks to the placebo effect.

Although there is no scientific evidence that crystals have specific healing or magical powers, many people find comfort, strength and guidance through working with crystals. The most important thing is that each individual chooses to approach the world of crystals in the way that feels right to them, be it through faith, personal experience or aesthetics.

Meditation Enhancement:
Sit down or lie comfortably in a quiet room.
Hold a crystal in your hand or place it on your third eye (the forehead between the eyebrows) or over the heart chakra. Focus on the crystal's energy while meditating, and imagine that it amplifies your intentions.

Full Moon Cleansing:
During a full moon, place your crystals outdoors or on a windowsill to cleanse them and charge them with the moon's energy.

Chakra Balancing:
Lie down and place crystals corresponding to each chakra along the center of your body. Focus on breathing and visualize each chakra being opened and balanced by the energy of the crystal.

Energy protection:
Hold a black tourmaline or other protective crystal said to carry protective powers in your hand and visualize a shield of white light around you, protecting you from negative energies.

Intention setting:
Sit in a quiet space and hold a crystal in front of you. Breathe deeply and set an intention for the day, month or a specific project. Visualize the intention being placed in the crystal and carry it with you as a reminder.

Energetic home cleaning:
Smoke clean your space with sage, palo santo, or incense. Then walk around your home with a selenite or rose quartz crystal, and imagine each room being cleaned and filled with positive energy.

Dream Enhancement:
Place an amethyst, moonstone or labradorite under your pillow to improve dream quality and increase dream memory.

Love Ritual:
Arrange rose quartz, strawberry quartz and blue quartz in the shape of a heart on your altar or in your bedroom. Meditate on the feeling of love, acceptance and gratitude.

Abundance Ritual:
Place citrine, pyrite or green aventurine in a place where you keep money or in your workplace. Each time you see the crystal, think of abundance and gratitude for what you have and what will come to you.

Daily energy boost:
In the morning, choose a crystal that feels right for the day (such as citrine for success or an amethyst for calm).
Hold it in your hand and breathe deeply, charging yourself with the energy the crystal is said to carry. Then carry your crystal with you during the day.

Keep in mind that rituals with crystals are largely based on personal belief and intention. The most important thing is to approach each ritual with openness and honesty, and to find the rituals and methods that feel right for you.

Scientific studies have not been able to prove that crystals have the healing powers that are often attributed to them. However, the placebo effect can be powerful, and just the belief that something helps can in itself have positive effects on well-being. Many people also experience a sense of peace and tranquility just by handling or looking at beautiful crystal objects.
In summary, crystals are beautiful, fascinating objects that many believe have special powers or energies. While scientific evidence is lacking for most of these claims, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the beauty of crystals or the emotions they evoke in us. Using this as a tool for personal development and as a personal reminder of how important self-care is is magical in itself.

When using essential oils, it's important to do so properly to maximize the potential benefits and avoid side effects. Here are some guidelines and tips for using essential oils:

Dilution: Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied directly to the skin. Use a carrier oil such as jojoba, almond or coconut oil. A common dilution ratio is 3-5 drops of essential oil to one teaspoon of carrier oil, but this can vary depending on the oil and intended use.

Topical use: After properly diluting the oil, you can massage it into your skin. Oils can be applied to pulse points, chakra points, soles of feet or the affected area depending on the need.
Bath: Add 5-10 drops of an essential oil to your bath to create a relaxing or refreshing bath.
Spray: Mix water with a few drops of an essential oil in a spray bottle to create a room spray, linen spray or disinfectant spray.
Caution:
Avoid sensitive areas such as the eyes and the inside of the ears.
Keep oils away from children and pets.
If you are pregnant, nursing or have a medical condition, consult a doctor before use.
Always do a patch test to see if you are allergic to an oil before using it on a larger area of ​​skin.
Storage: Store essential oils in a cool, dark place to preserve their quality.
Avoid oral consumption: Essential oils are not safe to ingest.

Quality: Buy oils from trusted sources that offer high-quality, pure essential oils without additives or fillers.
Use in moderation: Excessive use of essential oils can lead to sensitivity or allergic reactions.

When starting out with essential oils, it's important to take it slow, do your research, and pay attention to how your body reacts. Essential oils offer a range of potentials for well-being, but as with all products, it is important to use them with care and knowledge.
