How to Tell if a Crystal is Beneficial for You

In the journey of exploring crystals, a common question arises: how can I tell if a crystal is working for me? Crystals are not just beautiful pieces of jewelry; they are believed to hold various energies and healing properties. Here are some ways to determine whether a crystal is beneficial for you:

  1. Emotional Response

Pay attention to any emotional changes when you wear a particular crystal. Do you feel calmer, happier, or more energized? For example, many women experience warmth and support when wearing garnet, especially during specific times of the month. This crystal is thought to provide psychological strength.

  1. Physical Sensations

Sometimes, the energy of a crystal can manifest physically. If you feel comfortable or experience positive physical reactions when wearing a particular crystal, it might be a good match for you. For instance, Golden Sheen Obsidian is believed by many to offer protection and help shield against negative energy.

  1. Intuitive Feeling

Our intuition often guides us toward the right crystal. When you touch or wear a crystal, do you feel drawn to it? Do you feel a connection to the energy of the crystal? Only when a crystal connects with you can it fully activate its energy. A clear sign of this connection is that you may feel uneasy when the crystal is not around. However, if after wearing a crystal for some time, you feel indifferent to it, easily taking it off and leaving it aside without care, it might indicate that no connection or energetic harmony has been established. In this case, you can stop wearing that crystal, as it may not be the right fit for you.

  1. Changes in Your Life

Observe any changes in your life after wearing the crystal. If you find that you’re handling challenges with more resilience or that things are progressing smoothly, this might be a sign that the crystal is working. Many people report feeling stronger and more capable of coping with stress and difficulties after using crystals.

  1. Conversations and Reflection

Engage in discussions with friends or other crystal enthusiasts, sharing your experiences and feelings. Sometimes, hearing others’ insights can help you better understand the impact crystals are having on you. For example, my friend Ji and I frequently discuss different crystal properties and experiences, encouraging and inspiring each other.

  1. Consistent Attention

Finally, give yourself time to feel the crystal’s impact. The energy changes might not be immediate but can take time to manifest. Continuously monitor your emotional and physical responses, and consider keeping a journal of these changes. This can help you more clearly determine the crystal’s effects over time.

Conclusion

Using crystals is a personal journey, and everyone’s experience may differ. The most important thing is to keep an open mind and listen to your inner voice. By following these steps, you can better assess whether a crystal is beneficial for you, allowing you to choose the right crystal to bring more strength and support into your life. May your crystal journey be filled with light and inspiration!
