How to Meditate with a Crystal

     Find a comfortable place to sit, where you will not be disturbed.  Hold your crystal in the palm of your hands or put it on a table.  Breathe gently and let your attention focus on the crystal.  On the out-breath allow any tension you may be feeling to flow through your hands into the crystal where it will be transmuted.  On the in-breath feel the transmuted, peaceful energy flowing into your hands.  Let the crystal tell you about itself.  Feel its qualities.  Make them your own by drawing them effortlessly into your body.  You may find that you pass instantly into a place of infinite peace, or that you reach this state gradually.  Note any guidance that your crystal has for you.  When you are ready to leave the meditation, withdraw your focus from the crystal.  Get up and move around.
