What to do after receiving your gemstone accessories

To get the full benefits of your gemstones and crystals, you need to cleanse and programme them as soon as you get them.

Crystal programming aims to direct energies towards a specific intention, goal, or desire. 

However, programming crystals is optional. Crystals possess a variety of unique properties and serve a variety of purposes. Even if you don’t programme your crystals, their vibrations will work to bring you their benefits. 

But it is said that when we programme a crystal, we are being clear with ourselves about what we want help with, and therefore aligning our own vibrations with the crystals. You only need to programme your crystals once, but you can do it more often if you feel you need to. 

Here are the steps to programming your crystals and gemstones effectively: 

1. Use one or more cleansing methods to clean your crystal.
2. Stand in a place with natural light. 
3. Hold the crystals in your hands and take deep breaths to relax.
4. Dedicate its energies and your intentions to the highest good, and then state your goals and intentions. Be specific and clear. It can be as simple as saying, “I dedicate this crystal to the highest good. Crystal, please assist me with… (state purpose/request)”
5. Visualize and imagine what it would be like if you achieved that goal.
6. Thank your crystals for their service.
