Have you ever felt weird in your gut when you talk to someone who doesn’t make you feel good or noticed a weird energy when someone enters the room.
That’s your intuition at work.
It’s guiding you to make decisions in your life.
It’s the soft whispers in your gut. it’s your sixth sense.
Crystals for intuition work have been used for centuries and not only that, also for other spiritual work such as enhancing psychic abilities, healing and manifestation.
These natural stones work by connecting to our chakras and our energy field.
In today’s post we will talk about:
How crystals enhance our intuition
As I said earlier, crystals connect to our energy field. But how do they even do that?
Because crystals themselves have their own vibrational fields and the energy field of crystals is vibrating higher than us.
So when we connect with the crystals with our intention, that’s when they connect right to us and are able to help achieve what we want, whether it’s healing or manifestation.
When there’s a vibrational match, that’s when they work for us.
Crystals become a bridge between our conscious self and our subconscious self.
Most of the time we’re working on autopilot and logically.
But crystals help us connect to our true selves.
The part of us that guides us in the right direction, the one we’re usually ignoring because sometimes the voice of the mind becomes louder than the quiet whispers of the soul.
The word intuition comes from the latin word ‘intueri’ which basically means to look within.
Crystals help us look within our own true nature. They help us understand not only our shadows but also our gifts.
That’s why for centuries, people have been using them for deeper spiritual work.
And today I will share the top 10 crystals for intuition.

How to Cleanse and Charge your Crystals
Whether you’re using your crystals for the first time after you bought it from a store or using it for the 100th time for your spiritual practices, always cleanse and charge them every single time.
Because crystals hold energy/information in their energetic field and you don’t want to work with a clouded crystal as it won’t be able to respond well with your intention.
Cleanse the old energies and only then use it, and you will see crystals working better for you.
How to Cleanse and Charge your Crystals
Here are a few ways you can cleanse and charge your crystals for intuition work:
1. Smoke Cleansing:
It is one of the simplest and most popular ways to cleanse your crystals and remove any dead energy or history of your crystals.
Just hold a crystal above a smoke (you can use a sage stick, palo santo or incense) and put an intention to cleanse it. Hold it for a few seconds or until you feel an energetic shift and you’re doneeee!
It’s as simple as that.
2. Moonlight Cleansing:
You can also cleanse and charge crystals under moon light during a full moon.
Just keep your crystals in a bowl near a window sill where moonlight falls and pick them up the next morning.
3. Sound Cleansing:
Sound is also a really powerful way of cleansing and charging your crystals.
What I usually do is, I would search on youtube negative energy cleansing music to cleanse my crystals and afterwards charge it with mantras or a positive music related to my intention.
4. Selenite cleansing:
Selenite is a self cleansing crystal plus it can also be used to cleanse other crystals.
You can simply put your crystals onto a selenite slab or in a selenite bowl which is easily available and cleanse your crystals to remove all the stuck energy from them.
