Research has shown that establishing a habit requires 21 days of practice. Thats why Hay House has decided to adapt the work of some of its most prestigious authors into these short, 21-day courses, designed specifically to develop new mastery of subjects such as discovering the power of crystals.
Other titles that will help you to explore further the concepts featured in this 21-day program are listed at the beginning of this book.
21 Days to Work with Crystals draws from Judy Halls Crystals Made Easy (Hay House, 2018), previously published as Crystals (Hay House Basics) (Hay House, 2015).
Powerful, potent, and therapeutic, crystals have many uses. What excites me is that crystals adapt themselves and reveal new possibilities the more we allow them to show us what they can do. Over the next 21 days were going to explore both traditional and innovative applications for these potent beingsI call them beings because, as youll discover, crystals actively engage with you. They are sentient, with enormous intelligence and focused intent.
I could have taken a cook-book approach to this program, saying this crystal is good for this and that one is good for that. Of course, that would be true, but you could go to my other books for such information. (Ill steer you in the right direction in the Resources at the end of the bookalthough this is not strictly necessary, as youll discover the properties of the crystals as you work with them.)
In this book well look each day at a different aspect of crystals, so you build skills that you can use across a variety of applications. Every day Ive included a practical exercise to expand your sensitivity to crystal energy and help you explore its potential. In 21 days you will have tasted a wide spectrum of crystal possibilities.
Well look at specific crystals, some old some new, basic and advanced, earthy and of high vibration, so that no matter whether youre a complete beginner or an experienced crystal worker, youll find something here to inspire and excite you. Many of the crystals I mention can be viewed in color on the corresponding downloadable PDF. (See instructions on how to access this ).
Today and tomorrow well start by covering some essential crystal basics: Finding your crystals and keeping them working for you. Please dont skip these days or youll be disappointed with your crystal results. A little time spent now will repay you with the most potent crystal energies.
Crystal blessings,
What we are going to do today is find your crystalsthe ones that interact to optimum effect with your energies. You have a unique energy frequency and the secret to effective crystal working is to find the crystals that respond to it. You may like to set aside a whole day for this process, especially if you are going to learn how to dowse for your crystals, but there is one simple step that enables you to find your crystals quicklythis is to open the chakras in the palms of your hands.
The Palm Chakras
To open your palm chakras, open and close your hands into fists several times. Then bring your hands together so that the palms touch, open your hands slightly, and bring them back together again. It will feel like a ball of energy builds up between your palms, which may start to tingle. Always open these chakras before choosing or working with a crystal.
Opening the Palm Chakras
Let Your Crystal Find You
Everyone who is interested in crystalsand especially people who were indifferent before they were befriended by a crystalhas had the experience of a crystal winking at them. You go into a store or you trawl the internet, and a crystal catches your eye. This is the one for you. It is not necessarily the biggest, the prettiest, or the priciest stone. It may be a raw lump, or it may be tumbled or faceted. But it is the most potent crystal for you.
So, rather than looking up the meaning of a crystal, or seeking a crystal for a particular symptom or application, try a different approach. Visit a store that sells crystals and see what calls to you, or look at what you have in your collection already. These eager beings have been longing to work with you. Now is the time. You can also let the crystals on the download call to you or look at them online.
Keep a note of the crystals that choose you and record your immediate intuitions about how they want to work with you, and any insights that develop later.
