A traditional tip
Keep stimulating stones like pyrite and carnelian out of the bedroom.
- Choose one stone that catches your eye. As the beginner's guide says, “the crystal that catches your eye or resonates with you is often the one you need.”
- Cleanse it (moonlight suits almost every stone).
- Hold it and say your intention in one short sentence.
- Keep it where you'll see it every day.
