Programming Your Crystals

By Andrea Sipcic

We love our crystals and we know how powerful they can be. Now it’s about upping the crystal game and we’re discussing how to program your crystals. This is done when you are wanting to be very specific about using and having a particular crystal.

This is about making them your own and energetically programming them with a specific intention. Essentially you are focusing the crystal’s energy on a specific goal or intention you are holding.

There is not just one way to program your crystals, but the following is one you can try that may work for you. You can also seek a Crystal healer to do this on your behalf if you prefer and have one you trust.

Be sure to cleanse and clear your crystal/s prior to programming. We have discussed crystal clearing, but as a reminder, you can cleanse them under the full moon energy, with salt water, over a natural flame or with burning incense smoke, amongst other ways.

Quiet your mind and ensure you are in a calm, relaxed state in mind, body and spirit. Doing a meditation prior to may be a good idea, as well burning some incense. You can even have a meditation playing as you program, as well as a candle lit as further support in the intention you are setting.

Ideally stand in natural light, either outside or next to a window.

Hold the crystal in your hand. (Ideally in the left one, as most people’s left hand is their receiving side.) You can also hold it against your chest, near your heart.

Say out loud, “I ask that this crystal only be used in love and light.”

Program the crystal by thinking about what you’d like the crystal to support you with (i.e. increase self love, heal a relationship, find a new job you love, etc.). Visualize and feel what it would be like to achieve that intention or goal.

Finish the process by saying aloud: “I dedicate this crystal for (your purpose).”
