If you are looking to enhance your intuitive abilities and your connection with your higher self, crystals can be a helpful tool to utilize. Every living thing has its own energetic frequency, including crystals and minerals. This frequency can help you increase your intuition in a few different ways, depending on the crystal. Examples being mental clarity and focus, helping activate your third eye and crown chakras, and helping strengthen your psychic channel.
Here's how you can use crystals to support and strengthen your intuitive abilities:
1. Work with crystals associated with the third eye or crown chakras. Crystals that help with mental focus can be great to combine as well. Some examples are:
Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Selenite, Clear Quartz, Kyanite, Celestite, Moonstone, Fluorite, Labradorite, Indigo Gabbro, Sodalite, Iolite, Apophyllite, and Lepidolite. There are many more, pretty much any blue, white, clear, or purple crystal.
2. Program whichever crystals you choose with the intention of helping you enhance your intuition. You can do this by holding the crystal in your hand and visualize your third eye and crown chakras opening up. Ask the crystal to help you with increasing your intuitive abilities. Remember to thank you spirit of the crystal you're working with as well.
3. Meditate with the crystal. One of the best ways to use crystals for intuition is through meditation. To do this, ground your energy, take some deep breaths, and begin to mediate. Hold the crystal in your hand or place it on your third eye while meditating. Focus on the energy of the crystal and a purple or indigo light radiating from the crystal into your third eye. Open yourself to receiving intuitive insights. Visualize your third eye chakras slowly opening and let your higher self and spirit guides know you wish to work on enhancing your intuition. You can ask them for guidance and protection as you do this as well.
4. Create an Intuition-Enhancing Crystal Grid
This is another way you can use crystals to enhance your intuition. A crystal grid is a powerful tool to amplify the energy of your crystals. You can design a grid to focus on enhancing your intuition and spiritual gifts. Arrange crystals in a pattern (like a sacred geometry design) and place them with the intention to connect with and enhance your intuitive abilities.
How to make a simple grid: Place a central crystal (like clear quartz or amethyst) at the center of the grid. Then, place smaller stones (like lapis lazuli, moonstone, or fluorite) around the central stone in a symmetrical pattern. You can program the grid by setting an intention for heightened intuition before activating the grid.
5. Wear Crystal Jewelry or Carry them with you. Carrying the crystals mentioned above with you throughout the day can help keep you connected to your intuition. You can keep them in your pocket, in your bra, wear them as jewelry, or carry them in a small pouch.
You can do one or all of these practices to help you get in touch with your intuition. One of the most important factors when wanting to increase your intuition is BELEIVING IN YOURSELF. Self-doubt is one of the biggest blocks of intuition. So often when I go into a reiki session with a client and they mention a block in their intuition, I also end up feeling an imbalanced solar plexus or a struggle with doubting themselves. This is something you learn to do over time, and receiving confirmation of your intuitive hits or abilities can really help build that confidence. There are lots of practices you can do to increase your intuition, and I plan to cover that in a separate post.
The key is to stay open and trust your instincts. When you work with crystals, it’s important to remain in a receptive, open state of mind. Pay attention to subtle feelings, thoughts, or images that arise during your practice, as they may be intuitive messages. Work on building a relationship with your higher self and your spirit guides and trusting the downloads you receive.
