Article: How to Create a Crystal Altar

by Linda Foltyn

 

Creating your own Crystal Altar is easy and inexpensive. What is a crystal

altar? It is a special place where you keep your collection of crystals for

mediation, and / or for an energy center in your home or apartment. It doesn't

require much room, and can be set up in a few minutes. It can have crystals and

stones, along with other items of nature, such as feathers, shells, wood, water,

candles and even a prayer card. The point is you can use just about anything you

choose. The important thing to remember is that each of these items should be

special to you. I often put feathers on my altar that cross my path. You can use

a shelf or dresser top as long as it is a place that will not be disturbed or

that can not cause a fire when burning candles. Once you have assembled your

altar, the intention is to bring light and energy to you and your surrounding

area. You can program your stones and crystals for specific use or just use them

for decoration and let them do what they do naturally, which is to dissolve and

balance energy. Meditating by your altar can help bring you peace. Here is

something I personally like to do. If I have a friend or family member that is

having a particular problem with their health or relationships, I draw a circle

on a piece of paper. In that circle I put the persons name, along with positive

words that can help them with their particular problem. For example, if someone

is having health problems, I put their name inside the circle, and then put the

words: healthy, happy, peaceful, love, light, and resolution. Now I put that

piece of paper on the altar along with some tumbled stones that I think might

help with the situation. Rose Quartz can always help by bringing in love and

self-love. If you are familiar with the colors of the chakra's you might try a

colored stone that relates to that part of the body they are having trouble

with. Suggested Gemstones to Use for Crystal Altar: Rose Quartz, Mangano (Pink)

Calcite, Amethyst, Hematite, Smoky Quartz, Clear Quartz. Be Well
