By Margaret Ann Lembo

[C] rystals and gemstones are easy to use. The best way to pick a crystal is to go to your favorite local metaphysical or new age shop and stand before their array of stones. Without reading about the stone or the little description the store might have in a bowl with the tumbled stones, allow your eye to go to the colors and stones that are attracting your attention. Try to pick them without thinking about it. Use your intuition as you know what you need even though you don’t know that you know!
[A] fter you’ve chosen your stone, you can look up the meaning in a book. You will be amazed at how accurately your choices are after you find out the meaning. To work with the gemstone, simply carry it in your pocket or place it in your pillow case at night. You also might want to meditate with the stone in your hand or by placing in your energy field while you quiet your mind. Women, you may want to put one in your bra or carry it in your purse. Some like to hang it from their rear view mirror. As long as you see it and connect with the intention of why you are working with that gemstone, it will be a great friend and tool for manifesting your heart’s desire.
