Programming Crystals - 3 Times is the Charm

3 Lepidolite Coil Wrap Bracelets

Question: Hi, as far as charging the crystals & deprogramming/programming- how many times should I repeat the intent I have of wearing the crystals?

Answer: Hi, I like to repeat the intent to the crystal at least three times, but this is entirely up to you and your intuition, so whatever you think feels right. Some people like to chant and meditate for a while, some people will only say it once and know that it is programmed. So I would suggest that you experiment and see what feels right to you.

CRYSTALS: Nebula

QUESTION: Dear Satin, I bought today a lovely nebula stone, but I don't know how to charge it. Does it like the sun? Thanks in advance for the answer.

ANSWER: Hello! The main component of Nebula Stone is Quartz, so it would be a good idea to charge it in the sun.

As for cleaning, you can choose your preferred method. We like to us dry brown rice as it doesn't scratch like salt and is safer than water which can dissolve certain soft stones.

CRYSTALS: Neck

So over the years my stress has shown up in various places of the body. This time it's been stressing out my neck. This morning I decided to program a piece of Moonstone to alleviate the stress and it has helped tremendously. Placing the cool, calming yin crystal over my neck seemed to melt away the blockages. I will definitely be returning to Moonstone for this particular dis-ease!

CRYSTALS: Care

QUESTION: Hi, i am new to crystals i currently own a Rose Quartz and Amethest i wear them on a chain together, i was wondering how to clean and charge or program them.

ANSWER: Thanks for your question.

I would suggest cleaning and charging your pendants on a large cluster. clusters with more points are best as they are constantly circulating focused energy through the tips. This will effectively clean and charge your stones, especially if the cluster is kept in the sunlight. I have large Quartz clusters I like to use, but you can use any cluster you have available. If you do not own any clusters, you can also use dry brown rice, another one of my favorite cleaning methods. You will want to place these also in the sunlight to charge.

You can also simply run them under tap water, but again, if they with metals or on a chain, this may tarnish the metal. So, for jewelry you should stay away from water when you are unsure of the outcome.

Dry sea salt is another popular cleaning method, but for polished stones this could lead to scratches, depending on the hardness of the crystal.

If you have any additional questions, i am happy to answer them for you. You can also feel free to call our retail shop during store hours!

CRYSTALS: Layouts

Another popular way to use your tumbled stones and small crystal points is to lie in "Crystal Layouts". There are an endless number of layouts you can create for all kinds of healing energies. The picture above shows the layout for Headache Relief.

Basically, you lay the appropriate stones and points around and on your body as you lie in the "energy grid" for a few minutes. This can be done just once to achieve the desired effect or daily!

There are specific layouts you can find online, in published books or take a class with us at Satin Crystals to practice and familiarize yourself with the benefits of crystal layouts!

CRYSTALS: Tumbled

QUESTION: Hi I recently bought a Carnelian stone and i've heard a lot about it's great healing properties and I was just wondering how one uses a tumble stone. For now I keep it in a black satin pouch which sits in my bag but that means little contact with the actual stone. I'd love to find out more about it, thanks.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks so much for your email. Tumbled stones are small and smooth and thus very versatile in the healing realm. Here are a few suggestions on what you can do with your Carnelian tumbles. If you want me to expand on any point, just ask!

1. Making Gem Elixirs

2. Using in Crystal Healing Layouts

3. Carrying in a pouch/pocket for good energy

4. Setting in Jewelry

5. Use as Massage Stones

6. Placing in the tub

7. Making Chakra Platees

8. Gridding your house

9. Placing in a big bowl to relieve stress

10. Using as worry stones

CRYSTALS: Sore Throat

I have had this annoying cough all week. And as things go, sometimes I don't actively pursue a healing regimen, figuring my body will take care of curing itself and being generally distracted by other pursuits.

Finally, last night, my throat became sore, so I picked up and programmed a raw Quartz point to heal my sore throat. I held the faceted point towards my throat and allowed the energy of the Master Healer crystal to do its work.

Quartz is a great crystal in correcting the source of misalignment in our auras. I could actually feel a rush of energy flowing from the crystal to my throat. I may have imagined it, but this is where you must always start, TRUST in what you're feeling.

After five minutes of holding this crystal in place, I put it back down, not expecting to feel anything. Gradually a warm, tingly sensation developed and swirled in my throat. I felt like I had just taken a cough drop, the way the chemeicals feels when they are curing a sore throat. I was mildly amazed of the similarity of Quartz to a Cough Drop.

This sensation lasted a good few minutes, and I knew that I was on the road to returning to a perfectly balanced Throat Chakra.

CRYSTALS: Chaos & Clutter

When your mind is unfocused, drowning in the chaos of every day life, allow the structural energies of a pyramid to clear your mind. Quartz pyramids are especially great to clarify your mind. Fluorite pyramids help you to focus on what is important.

1. After cleaning, charging and programming either one for focus, place them on your desk.

2. Make a list of priorities - the things that are important to you in this life at this particular time.

3. Keep it short, below 10 main priority points.

4. Once you have your list, try to strengthen each one of these items. For example, if "best friends" are on your list, focus on the best friends that are in your life now. Think of ways you can strengthen your bonds. Don't worry about reaching out to new friends. Clear your address book of mere acquaintances.

Simple feng shui tells us to clear the clutter in our physical surroundings and to clear the clutter of our minds. Allow natural crystal pyramids to aid you in this simple philosophy that can get so complicated when our minds are in chaos.
