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.
