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
