Gazing into a crystal ball has been used by many spiritual guides, psychics, and healers. This has been a part of life for many, even since ancient times. People who use gazing enter into a meditation state, and they can see visions and get messages from the spirit. Gazing into a reflective or translucent surface is called scrying, which can be done with many kinds of stones and surfaces.
One famous person, Nostradamus, used an Obsidian mirror to do his predictive works. It is recommended that people that begin doing this will first use a clear stone such as a quartz crystal ball or a Smoky quartz crystal ball because they allow you to look at them, and they are natural stones.
You have to find out which stone is best for you and know which stones you can use for gazing. A natural crystal can really help you to see what kind of psychic powers you have.
Steps for Gazing
When you choose to start gazing, the first thing that you have to do is to make sure that you cleanse your crystal ball. The crystal ball will pick up energies from when it is made until it is in your hands. So you have to eliminate the negative energies and do this at least one day before using it.
- Space
Make sure that you have a quiet space that is relaxing and not distracting. You can burn candles or incense but ensure the room is quiet and dim. Allow your positive energies to come into your life.
- Holding the Ball
Hold the crystal ball with both of your hands, and if you have a large crystal ball, you can put it on a stand on the table in front of you. You need to touch the ball so that you can feel the energies and connect with the ball. Put both of your hands on the ball.
- Breathing
Breathe in deeply and learn to relax. Also, take time when you exhale. Keep doing this until you are able to relax your mind.
- Gazing
Stare or gaze into the crystal ball for a few minutes and allow the visions or messages to come to you. Never try to force the ball to do anything; you can see images in the imperfections of your crystal ball.
Use the images that come to you, in your mind or the crystal ball, to focus on your higher self. Focus on the divine energy and do this as long as you need to.
- Energies
When you finish your scrying, thank your angels or your spiritual guides for the wisdom that they have given you. Thank them for giving you messages.
- Finishing
Take deep breaths and tell yourself to wake up. Exhale as you do. Once you come from your trance, allow yourself to build up your energies. Reflect on what you have experienced and drink some water to hydrate yourself.
The article mentions using different types of crystals for scrying, which raises the question of how the properties of each stone might influence the outcomes of the sessions.
The step-by-step guide on how to properly use a crystal ball is very useful for beginners. The emphasis on cleansing and the environment highlights the seriousness and respect required for this practice.
The historical context provided about crystal gazing is quite fascinating. It’s intriguing to see how ancient practices have been adopted and evolved into modern spiritual routines.
Nostradamus’ use of an Obsidian mirror adds an interesting historical aspect. I wonder if different types of surfaces yield different kinds of visions.
Indeed, understanding the influence of different materials could provide deeper insights into the practice of scrying across various cultures and eras.
That’s a good point, Donut. Perhaps the choice of material affects the clarity or type of visions seen during scrying. More research into this could be enlightening.
The process of entering and exiting the meditative state is well-detailed. It seems vital for practitioners to properly prepare and conclude their sessions to maintain mental and spiritual well-being.
