On how to use the crystals correctly, expert Donna said that the first step is clearing stagnant energy. This process can be done in either sunlight, moonlight, or even full moonlight.��
The next step is clearing your mind and setting your intentions for work, creativity, productivity, etc. Once charged and humming with energy, the crystals could be placed near your desk or on your person.�
Each day, reconnect with your crystals by holding them and restating your intentions. This should be an energetic connection, she added. The key is to keep reconnecting with the crystals and your intentions of productivity.
