However, finding the right healing stone isn’t easy.
There are so many healing stones with different properties. Some stones assist in keeping you calm and confident, while others inject courage in your veins in difficult situations. Figuring out what you are in need of most can be a challenge, and searching for the right stone can be overwhelming.
In this guide, we are going to talk about how to choose the right type of stone and also narrow down the options that are good for each situation.
1. What Is Your Goal?
Which part of your life do you want to improve?
Ask yourself this question, since it is the first and essential step to find the right healing stone for you. Once you have decided on your intentions, it becomes easier to opt for a specific stone. Your inner voice will be your best guide and draw you to a specific stone.
- Am I in need of a spiritual connection?
- Do I lack success in my work or in my life?
- Am I struggling emotionally and need attention in relationships?
Think about these types of questions.
When you look at your life and choose a stone according to your needs, you deepen your spiritual connection with it and often see positive results quickly.
2. Let Your Intuition Choose
For a beginner, this is the best option.
Your intuition chooses what’s best for you. Your inner subconscious will guide to the healing stone that is right for you. It will get your attention from start and you will feel a physical pull towards it. There will be an instant connection between you and the stone.
Make a note of any stone that pops out at you at once.
It can be either its energy or beauty that will tug you energetically when you pass your eyes over all the different stones.
Spending a little time gazing at different stones also helps in many other ways. You notice different kinds of emotions that come up as you gaze at them. Their appearance makes a great impact too and makes you feel sensations or subtle vibrations that connect with your soul.
3. Hold It In Your Hands
Hold the stone in your hands; close your eyes and feel its vibrations.
Hold it and move it around, passing it through your fingers while visualizing your proudest or happiest moment in life. Associate its vibrations and presence with extreme positivity. You can visualize multiple things; it can be your first kiss, fun memories with friends, your first car, or business success.
In case it is hard to visualize positive things of your life; look at positive photos on your smartphone or on your laptop and absorb the positive energy and pride of that moment.
It is common to want to think about the future.
But you have to first associate the healing stone with the happiest moments of past. Once you connect it with happy moments of your life, it is easy to visualize what you can do to make way for more happy moments like those.
4. Buying Online vs. Buying in Person
It is hard to decide which option is best.
Some people prefer buying in person, while others like to search on the internet as they get a lot of options and guidance. In reality, there are pros and cons in both ways.
The main advantage of buying off the internet is you can get rare stones that are difficult to find in person. You, won’t get to hold a stone but it is still possible to intuitively choose from the images and descriptions alone.
The main drawback is the image quality.
Make sure you are seeing the actual image of the stone. Unfortunately, most images don’t represent the true essence, color, or size of what gets delivered. Therefore, be sure to read the description and check that the online seller is trustworthy and sells high-quality stones.
The hands-on approach is understandable but the physical shops or spiritual fairs rarely have a large selection. Plus, they often sell simple stones for higher prices than you will find online.
5. Choose The Right Type
If you already own healing stones but want to deepen your spiritual connection or simply expand your collection, you can choose specific stones that assist with specific issues.
For example, ‘Spiritual Stones‘ are different.
They are used to enhance the health of our spirit. Stones like Selenite, Celestite, Fluorite, and Desert Rose aid in a deeper spiritual connection. They are also considered as the stone of divinity and according to healing stone experts, they do well at protecting our auras too.
Similarly, there are stones for emotional and physical healing.
Black Tourmaline, Angelite, Blue Kyanite, and Peridot are excellent for anger issues. They ease stress and anxiety and help you to notice the positive aspect of any challenge, whereas stones like Turquoise, Apatite, and Garnet release the emotional blockage that causes health issues. They are great for your physical well-being.
6. Experiment With Stones
It is also good to buy multiple stones and experiment with their presence.
This will also help you to see if you have a physical reaction to them.
When you have multiple stones, it is easy to notice which stone is improving your life the most. You can count on it more. If some stone isn’t giving great results in some specific area of your life, change it and buy a new one.
For instance, for power, people often use ‘Lodolite‘. If it isn’t working in your favor or not offering expected results after weeks, buy ‘Smoky Quartz‘. It is also used for gaining power.
When you have 3-4 healing stones that immensely work in your favor, you will see a new ‘You’.
You might find that after some time, the right stones have transformed your life completely.
Conclusion
On the whole, you don’t choose the stone; the stone chooses you. Once you have the right healing stone, set your healing intention and goal, since this is crucial for your healing interactions. Afterward, just reap the benefits that come your way!
