6 Ways to Use the Crystal Intentions Oracle for a Happy Life, by Margaret Ann Lembo
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
People want to be happy, feel loved, be safe, enjoy abundance and prosperity, and increase intuition, and have the ability to express who they truly are. With crystal clear focus, you can be and feel fulfilled once you establish an intention and maintain positive thoughts. Your imagination plays a powerful part in this adventure—the adventure of creating the life you really want.
Visualization and your imagination are the tools to bring about your desired result. And, of course, action is necessary. Visualizing the intention or goals precedes action—even in ordinary everyday tasks. Add an ardent desire with a vivid imagination and make up your mind to imagine life as if all that you want has already become a reality. It is very powerful to paint your results in advance. Focus is necessary to create reality. Use the full palette of color by including specific colors and crystals as a reminder to help you maintain focus. Include positive thoughtforms in the form of affirmations. It’s your life, so enjoy the sparkling energy of crystals as allies in your daily life.
The Crystal Intentions Oracle is perfect to aid you in maintaining that focus. Pick a card from the deck, and focus on the guidance and affirmation along with the beautiful gemstone to manifest the reality you want. Take the card with you for the day or prop it up in a place where you will see it. Pause from time to time throughout the day to read and contemplate the guidance and affirmations found on both sides of the card. And, if you are a rock hound like me, you’ll enjoy gazing at the crystal and learning more about the properties of that stone.
Let’s start with forming the intentions using the Crystal Intentions Oracle for each of the areas of life mentioned above: to be happy, feel loved, be safe, enjoy abundance and prosperity, increase our intuition, and express who we truly are. I picked 6 cards—one from each category in the deck; each category contains 7 cards, for a total of 42 cards in the deck.
- Love, Friendship, and Romance
Watermelon Tourmaline is one of the seven cards in the Love, Friendship, and Romance category. Turn to watermelon tourmaline and the positive thoughts on this card when you want to attract love and good relations. It is a perfect energy to amplify your attention on opening your heart and allowing love in your life. Start with yourself and connect with positive self-talk and self-acceptance. - Health and Well-Being
The Chrysocolla card jumped out of the deck. This is a personal favorite gem for restoring balance on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The color combination of blue and green are ideal to release disturbing negative repetitive thoughts. Most people I know are challenged by this, so gaze at this card and take a deep breath! - Money, Creativity, and Motivation
Are you ready to encourage prosperous thinking and money? I asked this question and chose one of the seven cards in this category. I pulled the Copper card. All the wealth and abundance is available to you. So if you are feeling blocked or stagnant, then focus on the Copper card and the positive thoughts to activate motivation and inspired action. It’s all available to you—think good thoughts and just do it! - Focus, Safety, and Protection
The Jet card is the card I drew from this group. Sometimes we need a reminder that we are safe and all is well. It’s easy to go down the mental and emotional path of worry, angst, and frustration. Using the Focus, Safety, and Protection category of cards can really help you quiet your mind and release anxiety. Deflect those negative thoughts with Jet by your side. Keep reminding yourself that you are safe and sound and divinely protected. Everything is OK! - Happiness and Self-Confidence
Of course, I pulled my favorite joyful crystal from this category: Citrine. The brilliant yellow vibe of this crystal is a perfect reminder that it is safe for you to shine your light and be powerful. If you are feeling less than others or unworthy for this or that, then hold onto the golden yellow ray within Citrine’s happy energy. This gemstone perfect to help you give yourself permission to be all that you can be. Remember your true brilliance and take the time to visualize your magnificence. - Intuition and Spirit Communication
Life always feels easier when we are tuned in and tapped into guidance from the heavenly realm. Try taking the time to cultivate your relationship—your friendship—with your entourage. The heavenly entourage is already available and ready to serve, yet it is up to each one of us to petition and request assistance from angels, spirit guides, and loved ones on the Other Side. Put the Celestite card on your nightstand before bed. There are many ways to increase intuition and the ability to communicate with spirit. One of my favorite ways is to receive insight, information, and messages from my loved ones.
There are seven stones in each category, and six categories. That’s forty-two ways to improve your thoughts, feelings, health, and spiritual connection. Within the Crystal Intentions Oracle, you can choose a different stone every day to help you establish intention as well as have another beautiful crystal at which to gaze and get to know.
Using the card deck daily to start your day and end your day is a perfect self-care tool. Life is much better when we maintain the focus on goodness and well-being. A few more ideas for using the Crystal Intentions Oracle:
- Gratitude: Find the perfect card to pair with your gratitude practice and watch life blossom.
- Readings: The Crystal Intentions Oracle is a perfect add-on to an angel card reading, a spiritual counseling session, or a tarot card reading. A few cards can grant clarity and a deeper message.
- Spa Day: Use it on a spa day before you go in for your treatment so you can use that time to think good thoughts as you relax and get pampered.
