I know that quartz is supposed to help with like... soaking up negativity and stuff like that. It's also good to keep a piece of happy quartz with any tarot deck you have (which is why I got it in the first place years ago). Would there be any harm in keeping like a little shard with good thoughts between each stone? Would that help keep them to themselves or just muddle everything?

I can draw it out too if that helps explain what I want to do

That would be fine, so long as you periodically discharge the quartz.

All that negative energy needs to go somewhere, too. Thus the need to cleanse. I'll be honest, most of mine currently reside in either an old cigar box or on very dusty shelves (thanks to having indoor chickens and all their dander!). If I were to use any of them, I would make sure to get them discharged first.

I went on a Haunted Walk a few years ago, and part of it was in the old city jail (which has been converted to a hostel, and I know for a fact has a LOT of negative energy). I brought along a chunk of obsidian with me as a grounding stone and to absorb any negative energies. When I got home, that stone practically crackled with the negativity! I threw it outside in the sun, in a tub of salt! Still felt uncomfortable, so ended up doing a full cleansing of the house with sweetgrass and sage.

I know a lot of people don't believe in this sort of thing, but I've always been sensitive to energies. Some just don't feel them.

And don't get me started on Tarot! I stay as far away from those as I can, lol!

Am I meant to charge my crystals, if they're on a bracelet? They're still real crystals so....
Also, does anyone know if any of the healing stuff is backed with any scientific studies? I'd definitely be open to learning about this, crystals fascinate me

 

[BelovedBirds]

Fun fact: amethyst can also be used to cleanse other crystals!

So they self cleanse? I assume this is different to charging them?
Someone explain crystal terminology!

I have a bunch of tarot decks, but more because I just think the cards are beautiful. I'm no good at readings, lol.

Honestly, half the stones I have coming are because I liked their looks. The other half are mainly to help with creativity, protect against supernatural baddies and to help soak up negativity. And I have one that I think is supposed to help with courage, not 100% sure about that

Might sound controversial, I don't think the healing is much more than a placebo. But I'll still take a placebo over nothing at all.

Energies, like atmospheres?
I'm super sensitive to my environment. Some environments I go into just feel wrong, or stressful, or sad. Sometimes it's overwhelmingly so. Sounds weird to say, maybe I'm just emotional
but if people in a house are upset, I can usually tell as soon as I go in there

yeah, this is what my sister and I said when we left the crystal store. Though, despite that, I'm definitely open to the possibility of it all

That's one I never quite understood myself. I would periodically cleanse my amethyst just in case. And charging them *is* different. Each kind of crystal has it's own type of enegeries it's in tune to, but it helps to 'activate' them by holding it and pouring in your wishes. Like if you want happiness, you hold the stone and focus on that, 'asking' it to help with attaining happiness.

There are tons of online explanations for this, and which crystals are better than others for certain things. I have books, as well.

Yup, that's how I am. An empath. Which is why I like living on my own, lol!

There's actually *some* scientific basis, in that the matrix of the crystals allow certain energies to go through differently. And never discount the power of the mind! If someone doesn't want to feel better, chances are all the scientific methods won't work, either!
