The healing properties of crystals have been recognised and harnessed for thousands of years.  The ancients perceived crystals as being sacred and magical, they were experts in their use, employing crystals for such purposes as protection, adornment, healing and seeing into the future.

The more you understand about crystals, the more effective they are.

Dedicating and programming your crystals helps them to work more efficiently.  It is part of the ritual of working with crystals.  As crystals are powerful beings in their own right, they need to be approached with respect.  If you do this, they will only be too pleased to cooperate with you.  Many people have a ?crystal day? when they cleanse their crystals and then meditate with them to attune more strongly to their energy. Doing this regularly enables your crystals to talk to you and to show you how you can use them to enhance your life and well-being.

Taking the time to cleanse your crystals is extremely important.  Crystals are efficient absorbers and transmitters of energy.  One of their functions is to cleanse and transmute negative energies.  If you leave your crystals to do this without regular cleansing, most become saturated and unable to do their work, though a few are self-cleansing.
