<DIR> The energies from crystals and gemstones react from our aura of energy, amplifying our energy to produce quicker manifestations. To learn to use crystals is fairly easy as long as you have patience and an open mind. If you've never felt the energy of a crystal, try these simple exercises with several stones, if you relax and experiment with different stones, results will follow. Hold a crystal in your hand until the body heat warms it,relax and you will feel a tingle from the crystal. Warm the crystal and place it on your third eye chakra (a very sensitive area).Its very common to feel a slight pressure or even a slight pain, dont worry about it, its just your bodys attempt to get used to the energy. Crystals and gems can be used in many ways. They can be placed throughout the home, on your headboard of your bed, worn on the body in jewelry or in a medicine bag,an they can be used in tools.
