the Crystal Knowledge thread

Um, after working with them for a while, you can simply pick one up, and feel which chakras you feel they resonate with. Your intuition will always be a great guide as well.

This.

You don't even need to work with them for a while. Depending on natural affinity you will feel a resonant with the crystals straight away.

For me, having crystals present during most of my life, getting back into the practice was intuitive. I knew which ones would go where, roughly but as each individual is unique, the chakra points are slightly, slightly differently located.
As I did some deeper meditation (to the verge of AP vibration) I quickly found out I had to adjust the location of every crystal before they worked as intended.

If you hover, for example, a malachite over your heart chakra you can move it up and down or slightly sideways to home in on that deep and sort of sucking/tugging feeling. It may, of course, feel like a streaming or outwards going energy, I'm just recapping my own feelings. Hopefully the general jist of what I'm trying to communicate will come forth.

Do this with all crystals you intend to have resting on your body as you meditate.
The amethyst presented a particularly puzzling problem for me. I didn't remember the crown chakra had no bodily counterpart at the time so I brought it back and forth over my head going 'WTF, mate?!'. Finally I just put it above my head on the pillow and instantly got this 'WWEEEEEEEE!!!!' feeling. Almost like flying.

To get in contact with your crystals, just carry them around lots and rub them. Love them if you like, put them in the sun if you like. What I'm saying is that the simple act of including them in your life will energize their beings. Stronger effects will come from deeper contact, as always.
