Hello all.
Some of you may be browsing this section thinking, "That's great. So how do I
use these things"? Well, never fear.

Using crystals and stones is very easy. So easy, in fact, that all you need to use them is a stone and the ability to hold it in your hand!
Although this works well, it is a passive way of using stones. To really energize your crystals and stones, you should cleanse, charge, and perhaps program them for a specific purpose. Here are some great sites for instructions on these things:

With love,
Sage
