Lithotherapy is one of the most popular disciplines within naturopathy and alternative medicine. It allows anyone who wishes to benefit from the energy emitted by stones and crystals to alleviate a number of ailments. Each stone emits its own unique energy, thus responding to a very specific energetic need. Therefore, choosing a lithotherapy stone should not be left to chance, but should instead take into account specific parameters.
How to choose your crystal for crystal healing?
 Do not limit yourself to the physical aspect of the stone
Naturally, when buying a new crystal for crystal healing, one hopes to get the most beautiful one possible. However, the physical appearance of a stone doesn’t always reflect its effectiveness. The most beautiful stone can, in fact, be the weakest, from an energetic point of view.
Furthermore, stones possess a kind of “consciousness,” allowing them to “choose” their own owner. This means that a stone may not be compatible with your spiritual energy, and therefore not be effective for you, while, conversely, being very effective for another person.
Therefore, you must choose a stone that is predisposed to work with you. To do this, simply hold the stone in your hands and create the conditions to feel its aura. If there is an unpleasant sensation, it means that your two auras are not aligned. Unpleasant sensations can be caused by the stone absorbing a significant amount of negative energy. If this is the case, this sensation will disappear after a cleansing session.
Follow your instinct
The most common way our unconscious mind communicates its needs to us is generally through our instincts. Very often, the stones that resonate with you most are those you need most.
It’s therefore important to listen to your inner voice to make a good choice. However, it’s not advisable to overthink this process. The golden rule is not to overthink before making your decision; you have to go with your gut.
Always prioritize quality
In crystal healing, quantity should never be prioritized over quality. This rule is all the more important because good-quality stones generally possess a good energy flow and last much longer.
To obtain quality stones, you should contact a reputable crystal shop with genuine expertise in crystals. Don’t hesitate to ask them questions through their contact method.
Choose your stone according to its color
If you can’t trust your instincts, you can always choose your stone according to your favorite color, or the one you are most receptive to at the precise moment you commit to making the purchase.
Colors are the best indicators of a stone’s vibrational frequency. If a color attracts you, then there’s a strong likelihood that you’re receptive to the energy of a stone of that color.
