How to use Pocket Stones

Working with crystals and stones is a great way to connect our energy to the world around us. When we hold a stone, it harmonizes with our energy. We become partners in a common goal. With a little maintenance, we can experience major benefits.
When selecting a stone, we first need to know what we want to achieve. However, sometimes it is difficult to know what we’re looking for. When this happens, we can trust our intuition to find the right stone. Remember - YOU ARE THE MAGICK!

It’s important to clear your stones before a new intention and at the end of energetic work. Keep in mind what you’re clearing out, whether you want to remove the energy of the day or completely reset the stone.

WAYS TO CLEANSE  TUMBLED STONES
  • Smoke from incense or herb bundle
  • Place in a bowl of salt or white rice for 12-72 hours 
  • Bury in the dirt for 12-72 hours
  • Energy modalities such as Reiki, Prana Alignment, Intercessory Prayer, etc.
  • Sound - snapping, clapping, ringing of bells, sound bowl, music, etc.
Once the stone is cleansed, we charge it with our intention. If your intention is not clear, you may charge it with gratitude while your intention evolves. There is no wrong way to charge your stone.
