It is said that we don’t choose crystals; they choose us!  So be intuitive and choose a crystal that sparkles at you!   Individual stones have their own vibration and the crystal that chooses you has a vibration that matches yours. Very often a person will pick up a stone and say, ”my wrist/spine/tummy has gone cold!” and then remember an old injury.  This indicates that the crystal energy is matching the person’s vibration by seeking and locating the gaps and blocks in their energy, and repairing them.

You can use logic and read information about the various crystal and what they are used for, and choose one according to your needs and symptoms. This is particularly useful when choosing a stone for someone else.

Try holding a variety of different stones and seeing what reaction you get. Typically the stone (which is actually room temperature) will feel icy cold, hot, tingly, too heavy or too light. These reactions indicate that the stones are affecting your energy.

Hold a stone against the parts of you that hurt, or put it on the ground between your feet, or on your lap, and be aware of how it feels. Different people have completely different reactions to different stones, so I strongly recommend that you experiment. For example, I find that if I place a haemetite tumblestone on the floor between my feet, the soles of my feel feel icy-tingly. A rutilated quartz tumblestone in my palm sends electrical-type tingles up my wrists. See for yourself how crystals affect you!
