When you choose your crystals, you should go through three steps to prepare them ready for a dedicated use. Once you have cleansed and charged your crystals, the third and final step is to programme them. If you would like to know how to programme your crystals for use, read on for my guide on how you can do this.

Why you should programme crystals
There are three steps you should follow to prepare your crystals for use: cleansing, charging and programming. You cleanse to remove impurities and negative energies, and charge to re-energise your stones.
By programming your crystals, you are ensuring they are working for your intended use. There are many uses for your crystals and you can find information on which stone to choose for specific purposes. As an example, some of the dedicated uses for crystals are:
- Healing or easing symptoms of health conditions
- Fertility
- Anxiety
- Confidence
- Protection
- Sleep
- Balancing chakras
- Enhance meditation
- Attract prosperity and abundance
How to programme crystals
- Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.
- You may wish to play soft relaxation music in the background and light a candle or incense stick to create a relaxing environment.
- Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax.
- Hold your crystal at your third eye chakra, between your eyebrows.
- Focus on forming a bond with your crystal – an energetic link between you and your stone.
- Once you feel the bond has been formed, focus on the use you wish your crystal to be dedicated for. You can speak softly to your crystal if you wish, asking it to assist you with your desired purpose, or you can do this just in your thoughts.
- Tune in to your intuition and be guided when to complete the programming. It should only be a few minutes.
- You may wish to carry on at this stage and meditate for longer with your crystal. Again, follow your intuition.
The programming of your crystal can only be for a positive use. Please don’t try to programme for anything negative, the stone will not accept your negative energies.
