Crystal Clear Intuition

By Andrea Sipcic

With the surplus of crystals we have available to us, choosing ones can sometimes be a little overwhelming, especially if you’re a beginner. The most common way to go about it is to identify our ailments and symptoms and Google the best crystals for the treatment of them. This makes perfect logical sense and works well.

When you ’ re looking to select one crystal and have, for example, eight that are claimed to be amazing for your purpose, that’ s when things can feel a little overwhelming. I would find myself struggling to find the crystal that was going to help me best, which ultimately started to make the experience unenjoyable. I wanted crystal buying to be really fun so I tried a new approach, and it comes highly recommended. I started to go by my own intuition, purchasing the crystals I was most drawn to. This made a huge difference for me, including in the experience of selecting them. It’ s comparable to what I imagine selecting a new puppy would be like; fun, warm and driven by feelings and intuition. I distinctly remember the first time I allowed this. I was at a crystal shop and felt slightly overwhelmed with the selection and finally realized I really didn ’t want to experience that anymore. I relaxed, took a few deep breaths, and within seconds I was so intensely drawn to a beautifully vibrant amethyst and clear quartz crystal that I had tears in my eyes.

I have also found that crystals I am drawn to end up having distinct properties geared towards healing some of my disharmonies. This is with no prior research done. These were some of my first indications of just how powerful our intuition is.

It has also amazed me how parallel our intuitive attraction to crystals can be with where we are on our journey and evolution. For example, without having realized it, when I first began using crystals and heightening my awareness, I had purchased less vibrant, a little more dull looking crystals. Once more evolved, I had, again without the realization at the time, been more drawn to more vibrant, striking crystals. Don ’t be afraid to allow your intuition to guide you and trust that you know what’ s greatest for you and what you need.
