If you enjoy crystal healing, why not set up a small crystal altar in your home to celebrate the winter season?
You can set up your crystal altar however it suits you. Many people like to decorate with candles, herbs, spiritual objects, healing bowls, and of course crystals. You might choose crystals that are in the same colour hue or those that lean towards a specific purpose – like love and harmony. Or you might want a setup that is conducive for meditation, charging energy, cleansing, spiritual connection, or healing. Some people even set them up in relation to the elements – Earth, Wind, Fire & Water. You could even take it one step further and include a ‘fifth’ element – whatever that means to you – ‘Ether’, ‘Psychic Intuition’, and so on.
Cleanse the Altar
If you have the space to place the altar in a low-traffic area of your home, that is ideal. However, regardless, it is still a good idea to cleanse the altar daily. You might choose to light a candle and let the fire/smoke cleanse the area. Alternatively, you could smudge the altar with sage or incense.
Before you begin using the altar it is a great idea to ‘activate it’, you can do this is a number of ways. You may choose to meditate in front of the altar, moving your concentration in turn through each crystal. Or you could place your hands over the altar, as if warming yourself above a fire, whilst you think or say out loud your intention for the altar – perhaps you have a favourite mantra. A great one for this busy season is ‘Good enough is good enough’!
If you are looking for a suggestion for your altar, why not consider the Snow Quartz?
The Snow Quartz is often associated with the winter months of the year, possibly due to its healing abilities in resolving family conflicts that tend to arise during Christmas gatherings.
Similarly relevant during the holiday season, when expenses are high, many individuals carry this crystal in their wallet, purse, or handbag to help with financial challenges and promote balance and good practices in managing money.
Good Fortune
This stone is beneficial for anyone throughout the year as it is believed to attract good fortune. It also aids in preventing feelings of being overwhelmed and encourages recognising personal boundaries. Therefore, it’s an excellent gem for those who struggle to decline invitations or constantly find themselves hosting numerous guests.
For individuals who are not naturally social and find social events challenging, Snow Quartz can greatly improve their ability to cooperate and communicate tactfully.
Snow Quartz can be used interchangeably with Clear Quartz in healing rituals; however, its effects may be more gradual and gentler.
