Programming Your Crystal

---

There is a small but important difference between charging and programming your crystals. If you want to give your crystals a boost, charging them in sunlight or moonlight is the best option. When you want to work with a specific crystal to help you manifest a new job or invite abundance into your life, programming is ideal. Charging adds energy to a crystal, whereas programming imprints a specific intent into the crystal. You can program your crystal when you want to manifest specific things in your life, heal part of your body, offer yourself protection, or bring specific energy into your life. You can then work with your programmed crystal by wearing it, carrying it in your pocket, meditating with it, placing it in a special place in your home, or using it as a centre stone in a crystal grid. 

1. Make sure you have 10 to 30 minutes of uninterrupted quiet time to program your crystal. 

2. Cleanse and charge your crystal. Make sure to charge your crystal with an energy that matches your programming intention. 

3. Begin by focusing on your breath and centering yourself for 2 to 3 minutes. 

4. Rub your hands together to activate the energy centers in your palms. 

5. Hold your crystal in your hands. 

6. Close your eyes and visualize your goal. For example, if you want to manifest your dream job, imagine you're at your dream job. 

7. Imagine how you will feel when manifest your goal. Allow yourself to feel any emotions that come up. 

8. Visualize your goal, and all of the emotions behind it, travelling from your Third Eye Chakra into your crystal.

9. Hold your crystal and continue to meditate on your visualization for 5 to 30 minutes.

10. Your crystal is now programmed and will remain programmed for this purpose until you cleanse it.
