✨ 🔮 The Magic of Crystals: How to Choose, Cleanse, and Use Them to Awaken Your Energy Journey 🔮 ✨
I. ⚖️ The Foundation: Selection and Cleansing Essentials
Before diving into the elements, two steps are non-negotiable for maximizing your crystal's power:
1. Choosing Your Resonance: The Intuitive Connection
Forget long lists of properties initially. The highest-click advice is to trust your body:
The Pull: Which stone visually demands your attention? Your subconscious is directing you to the energy you lack.
The Warmth Test: Hold the stone. If it quickly warms or gives a gentle pulse/tingle, your frequencies are matching. Acquire it.
2. Essential Maintenance: Energy Cleansing
Crystals absorb energies. Cleansing resets them to their highest vibration.

| Method | Elemental Alignment | Description | Application Note |
| Crystal Cluster/Geode | Earth/Metal | Placing jewelry inside a large Amethyst or Clear Quartz cluster. | Universal Reset. Safest and most effective for all crystals. |
| Smudging | Fire/Wood | Using the smoke of dried Sage or Palo Santo. | Quick Purge. Excellent for deep cleansing of new or "heavy" stones. |
| Running Water | Water | Rinse under natural or tap water (visualize negativity washing away). | Caution! Avoid for porous/soft stones (e.g., Lapis Lazuli, Selenite). |
