It is thought that everyone has some sort of psychic ability, but because we don’t know how to use it we don’t realise it’s there. Crystals have been known to help develop the psychic senses.

There are hundreds of different crystals and each one will have a different meaning, a Tiger’s Eye for example, is used for protection and grounding. Put a tiger’s eye crystal under your pillow and it will protect you while you are sleeping.

The beautiful Amethyst goes right back to ancient cultures when the Priests and Priestesses had access to this mysterious stone, some say it is the stone that  plugs into the universe, that opens us up to our psychic abilities.

Rose Quartz is a lovely pink stone and is linked to the heart. It is the stone of love and this stone will help in your judgements as they will be from the heart.

The Citrine is a lovely colour and this crystal will make you feel positive and optimistic it’s a great crystal to boost you confidence.

The Clear crystal is the crystal that will directly boost your psychic energy.

It is very important to cleanse your crystals before you use them. For this all you have to do is put them in your left hand and run your hand with the crystal directly under running water, a lovely clear stream would be great, but the sink will do just as well, as you run the crystal under the tap, just visualise it being cleansed and say these words “I dedicate you to my love and the love of all.”

Once cleansed you can start to use the crystals, you can press them against your third eye when you are mediating, this is the little dent that is found between your eyes on your forehead, take baths with crystals in, when you let the bath water out visualise all the negative energy being taken away with the water. They can also be placed around the house, Rose Quartz for example can be placed around the entrances and Tiger’s Eye by the door frames. This will keep love flowing and will protect the occupants of the house.

This is just a basic starting point but as you progress you will be able to develop your skills as you will learn what benefits your crystals will have, and when researching you will discover all the fascinating histories surrounding them, too.
