How does crystal healing work?
Are your crystals real?
Yes, all of our gemstones are 100% genuine, authentic, real crystals.
Can I see a photo of the actual item?
While we would prefer to be able to photograph each and every single item, there are simply too many stones here to do so, which is why we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. When using stock photos, we do our best to ensure that the samples look as much like the actual items as possible. In those cases where items look vastly different from the sample photos, we create additional listings to accommodate those more unique items.
What is your Satisfaction Guarantee?
If for ANY reason you are dissatisfied with your order, simply contact us within 30 days from date of shipment so that we can make arrangements for a return. At that time, you may select either a Full Product Refund or Item Exchange. The choice is yours. Please Note: All returns must be in their original condition, i.e. not worn, used, or altered.
What if I want a specific size/shape/color stone?
Simply provide us with any specifications you have at the time of purchase, and we will do our best to meet your requirements. If for some reason we cannot, we will contact you to discuss.
How do I choose what size bracelet to order?
To figure your size, we recommend measuring your wrist. For the 8mm bracelets, we recommend going up at least 1 inch in length from your actual wrist size. This size would be not too tight, not too loose.
Can I wear more than one bracelet at a time?
You can wear as many bracelets at a time as you wish. Crystals will never negatively impact each other. The worst that can happen is conflicting intentions could cause one crystal's energy to overpower another crystal's energy. For example, a bracelet for physical energy worn with a bracelet for insomnia. But, nothing bad will ever come of combining stones.
Do you make custom bracelets or tumbled sets?
Yes! We love to make custom items! Just contact us at themagic@themagicisinyou.com and we will be happy to work with you.
Why do I have to cleanse my crystals?
Cleansing your crystals is very important. In addition to radiating healing energy, crystals also absorb our negative energies. Over time, and especially after a major healing session, your crystals can absorb so much negative energy that they actually become blocked. This blockage weakens the crystal's natural healing effect. Cleansing helps the crystal release the negative energy, thereby recharging the stone and increasing its healing power. Cleansing instructions are included with every crystal purchase.
How do I cleanse my crystals?
There are a number of methods you can use to effectively re-energize your crystals.
- Try smudging with Ceremonial White Sage. Simply submerge the crystal in the plant's smoke until you feel it's cleansed. This method is quick and very effective. It is our preferred method.
- You can also place the stones in sunlight, moonlight, or rain. Allow the stones to sit for up to one day. Placing your stones on or near a plant can help quicken the process.
- There's also the water method. Submerge your stones in alternating hot and cold running water for five minutes.
- Water/salt method- Use 1 cup of sea salt to 2 cups natural spring water and place the stones in the combination for the majority of the day. If it's a sunny day, let them dry in the sunshine for a few hours.
- You can bury your stones and allow the Earth to cleanse them. If you have a sacred outside spot, use that area. If not, that's ok... anywhere near your home is all right. Simply bury the stones in the Earth and allow them to remain there for up to 24 hours.
PLEASE NOTE- there are some stones that can lose their coatings when wet, such as Lapis, Malachite, Angelite, and Sodalite, so BE CARFEUL. Generally, you won’t want to use any water methods for any stone that ends in “ite”.
When should I cleanse my crystals?
You should cleanse your new crystals prior to using them for the first time. After that, if you actually work with your stones, as in meditating or doing exercise with them, you should cleanse them after every session.
If you're just holding your stones near or on you and not doing any specific exercises with them, you're going to have to trust your intuition about when to cleanse. If you carry them consistently, you should probably cleanse them after about a week or two of carrying them. It all depends on how you feel while using the stones and the type of environment you're in.
Some tips: If you have any really emotional experiences while carrying the stones, cleanse them. If your stones are around extreme negativity, cleanse them.
What does it mean to program a crystal?
Programming a crystal means dedicating your stone to the specific purpose for which you wish to use it. When you program a crystal, you’re aligning the energy of the stone with your own specific intent, thereby helping to direct the energy of the stone so that it can help you in a more powerful and focused manner.
How do I program my crystals?
Programming is a simple exercise that anyone can do. Before you begin, you should decide exactly what purpose it is that you wish to use the stone for. Be as specific as possible.
Once you’ve established your intention, hold the crystal in your hands. In your mind, envision the specific purpose for which you wish to use the stone.
Now, imagine your intention as a bright, white energy inside of you. This energy grows from your heart area and spreads out within you. Envision this white light flowing down your arms, into your hands, and into the stone. Essentially, you’re pouring your intention into the stone, and attuning yourself with the stone at the same time.
When you feel totally in tune with your crystal (just trust your instincts here), say out loud or in your mind, “I program this crystal for [your specific purpose].” That’s it!
Now, either put the crystal in a place where you will see it often, or keep it in your pocket. Or, if it’s a piece of jewelry, put it on.
Feel free to reprogram your crystal whenever you feel like it. You can also program a crystal at a later time for a different purpose, but be sure to cleanse it first.
Will you program/cleanse my crystals for me?
We do not program or cleanse the stones prior to shipping. We feel it’s very important for the user of the stone to perform these actions themselves, which is why we include the instructions in each order.
My crystals are cleansed and programmed. Now what?
There aren't really any "rules" regarding working with crystals. Generally speaking, to have them in constant contact with your person is probably the most ideal situation, but you can also just be near them in order for them to help you (i.e. on your desk, in your purse, on your nightstand, under your pillow).. The key is to trust your intuition and judgement and do whatever you feel drawn to do.. And this can change as often as you feel.. One day you may decide to sleep with them under your pillow.. The next day you may decide to carry them in your pocket.. The next day you may leave them on your desk.. Just follow your instincts.. You won't go wrong.
The length of time you sit and work with them is also a matter of your own judgement. Just do it until you feel it's the right time to stop. You can choose to spend time with them each day, once a week, once a month.. It's up to you.. Again, just trust what you're drawn to do and go with it.. It is said that the crystals will speak to you and should help guide you in the process.
I’m just beginning to explore crystal healing. What products do you recommend?
With crystals, the best advice is go with those that you're most drawn to... They say the crystals that we need most will call out to us, so if you find you're attracted to specific stones, odds are you probably need their specific energies.
Most customers who are new to crystal healing tend to go with our 6 Tumbled Set Special, as this gives them the opportunity to approach multiple issues... We suggest skimming through the pages of tumbled sets in our store and seeing which ones you are attracted to.
If you're looking for one specific crystal to start with, you can never go wrong with Clear Quartz.. This is a multi-purpose stone that attunes itself to your specific energies, helps identify exactly what kind of healing you specifically need (whether you realize it or not), and then starts its healing work.
If you have a specific ailment or situation and want to discuss your best crystal options, please contact us at themagic@themagicisinyou.com and we will be happy to help.
How does crystal healing work?
Crystals have been used as aids in physical, emotional, and spiritual healing since the dawn of ancient civilization. In working with crystals, you embark on a journey of rediscovering and healing your true, inner self.
Healing with crystals is something everyone can do. It's convenient, easy, and inexpensive. In simple terms, here's how it works:
Energy is the essence of the human body. Each type of crystal vibrates to its own specific type of energy. When you work with crystals, the energy of the stone actually blends with your own energy, thereby transforming and/or amplifying your vibrational frequency or the energy within your body. In turn, crystals help to rebalance and re-energize your body on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Each type of crystal radiates a certain type of energy, which corresponds to and works with the energies present in specific physical and/or emotional areas of yourself.
