Programming a Crystal: 3 Simple Steps


What does it mean to program a crystal?
Programming your crystal is, at its core, giving it a clear purpose - or job - in your life. Programming a crystal refers to the process of clearing it, creating a specific intention, and then focusing on infusing this intention into your crystal.
Why program your crystals?
Much of the "magic" in working with crystals is in your intentions. Intentions create a specific, defined purpose or goal to focus your energy. Crystals can help to support this energy, remind you of your intentions, and help create a physical way to connect with this intention or goal.
When you program your crystal, you are setting your crystal - and yourself - up to assist you in manifesting this goal or intention. If you don't like the idea of "programming" your crystal, you could also call it intention-setting.
How to program your crystal
Step 1: Get clear
To set an intention for your crystal, you want to do a few things: Consider what you really want, in very specific terms (i.e., how much? When? How will you feel when that has happened? What does your life look like? Etc. ).
- Focus on the positive: no negative words! The brain internalizes these first - so keep it worded with only the good things (i.e., I am always on time instead of I will stop being so late).
- State it as if it has already happened
- Believe it will happen; feel how you would feel, if this was your reality

Step 2: Infuse your crystal with your intention

Step 3: Hold the vision
