How to Choose the Most Powerful Crystals
This week, I had an unexpected experience with a pair of stone beings that I wanted to share with you—one that highlights a way of choosing crystals that brings about the most profound transformation.
I was recovering from a flu bug and turned to my trusted circle of stones that I call the 4C's. I call on them whenever I need a physical boost of strength, or when I'm with family members going through a health challenge. These are the crystals I take with me when I need to visit the hospital.
The C's stand for:
- Carbon (shungite)
- Coral
- Copper
- Cedar (petrified wood)
Crystal Elixir
I created a crystal elixir with these four powerful allies. Crystal elixirs are energetic medicine, similar to flower essences, created with water and stones. The crystals are gridded inside or around a vessel filled with water. While some practitioners put the crystals directly into the water, I find it just as powerful, if not more so, when the infusion happens strictly energetically.
NOTE:Some crystals are water soluble or contain heavy metals and should not be placed inside water that will be ingested or applied to the skin. Always research crystal properties thoroughly before use.
Two more
While gathering and placing the crystals for my elixir, something remarkable happened. Without consciously planning it, I found myself with two additional stones in my hands, placing them alongside the 4C's:
First was a Shungite crystal—yes, I already had shungite in the circle, but this one was distinctly different. It displayed a vivid, striking rainbow across its surface.
The second was a Copal stone with a lovely flower-like shape. Copal is a beautiful addition to any healing circle—a stone all healers would benefit from having in their medicine bag.
These crystals harmonized beautifully with my 4C's, adding a dimension to the mystical essence that I would have missed had I not trusted my intuition.
The Universe knows before we do
I could have easily followed recommendations from crystal books or other healers with great results. While these resources are valuable and important, nothing will heal, transform, and support us like the crystals that come through our own intuition. By trusting that inner voice, which remained clear and precise even through the cloudiness of illness, I discovered exactly what my body needed.
Interestingly, I had pulled out these specific crystals—shungite and copal—weeks before I became ill, without knowing why. They had been waiting patiently nearby, ready for when I needed them. This illustrates another layer of intuitive trust: sometimes crystals come to us long before we consciously need them. There's a universal knowing, a soul-level awareness that our conscious mind doesn't recognize until much later.
The Dance of Intuition
When we use our intuition with crystals, we engage in a beautiful dance of communication. It may seem like the guidance is coming solely from within us—that we're tapping into our inner wisdom—and we are! However, there's also a deeper connection happening.
This intuitive dance connects us to:
• The crystals
• Our physical bodies
• The earth
• The universe
• Time
• Ultimately, The divine
In my experience, the crystals that appear in the moment—that come through this dance with the universe—offer the most transformative, healing, and powerful support.
This is the essence of what I wanted to share today: the importance of trusting your intuition, going with the flow, and listening deeply to what calls to you in each moment.
