The following is one way you can consecrate a piece of jewelry or crystal to your intent:

Hold the crystal or jewelry item in your right hand (left, if you’re left handed) and look at it. Really look at it. Notice all the variations of color. I want you to see if you can get a sense of energy coming from the stone (or stones). It is important that you forge a relationship with this object before you do anything with it, either for yourself or others.

Try to see it as a living thing with active and vibrating energy instead of an inert and lifeless thing. Then I want you to talk to it. I want you to tell it exactly what it is that you need from it. What it is that you want it to do. Then I want you to ask it if it is ok and if it has a message for you.

Then, still holding it in your right hand, I want you to close your hand around it very lightly and work to feel the vibrations of it in your hand. Focus on it. Meditate on it. If you receive impressions (either in words or in the form of pictures in your mind) from the stone (or stones), write them down. Take everything that happens, everything that you sense, seriously. This could include feelings, pictures in your mind, voices, musical notes or even music you know and love. Be highly aware of your body during this process. Do you feel any sensations?

Then tell your wonderful crystal or jewelry item that you love it. It sounds so simple (and it is) but as you hold the item and become familiar with its energy, you will begin to sense the relationship you are building with it. Take as many days to do this part as necessary.

Gemstones especially respond to humans in exactly the same way that animals and plants do. And they begin to respond with their respective gifts. And the more consciously you do it, the more access you will have to the stones inherent healing properties and its message for you. I mean this truly and in all seriousness. Gems are living things with their own vibratory rates and electrical firings.

And they carry within them sky and earth knowledge that we can access. Some are more closely attuned to earth energies and others are highly attuned to spiritual, God energy.

Then, each time you're done with your meditation, do one of two things. Either run a gentle cool stream of water over it and wipe it dry, or simply wipe it with a clean, soft cloth. Your intent (your thoughts) while doing this is to clear it of any negative vibrations. You will actually tell the stone while washing and wiping it that you're cleaning it, clearing it. You may pray while doing this. I pray when clearing anything. My prayer, since I was a little girl of 8, has always been:

"I am surrounded by the pure golden light of God. Only good can come to me. Only good can go from me. I give thanks! AMEN"

While I pray, I literally visualize golden, sparkling light around myself (or whoever or whatever it is I am praying for). You can change the words 'I' and 'me' to, 'this ring' or “this necklace” or "this crystal". You can do this for other people, too. It is the most powerful prayer I know and it works.

Then you can either put it on and meditate with it, or you can place it in it's "spot". However, while you are establising a rapport with this item, it must be somewhere where no one else but you will handle it. Especially during this initial phase. This is VERY important!!!

It is to become a power stone to you and you alone. Only in this way can you forge the kind of relationship with it that is necessary for it to become a healing or journeying or divining or channeling instrument for you and/or for others.

Each time you take this item out and each time you put it away after it has been cleaned, say this prayer:

"Dear God/Goddess (or other name you have chosen), please give me the strength, the courage and the wisdom to see and hear what it is I need to see and hear in order to become a channel for your peace. AMEN"

Or simply, "Dear God, make me a channel for your peace. AMEN"

In fact, this prayer could become a prayer you say many times a day during your spiritual journeying. Take your time with this process. You will be amazed I think.

You may have your own prayer or invocation. If you have a guide or an angel you like to call on, do so while you are consecrating this piece and every time thereafter when you are first putting your jewelry on and taking it off, or meditating with the crystal. Whatever it is you do, remember you are consecrating this item to you and your intent and this is best done as consciously as possible. As you do this, please remember that this is ultimately for peace and love.

Also, if you want, while reading or meditating to music, you can wear your piece of jewelry (or hold your crystal). But remember to always clean and wipe it afterwards. And say your prayers.

The more you do this, the more it will become imbued with your energy and your intent. Your vibrations as the wearer/handler, and your intent and thoughts, shape your surroundings, and so will your intent and thoughts confirm blessings and spiritual purpose upon this chosen item you wish to consecrate.

If at any time it feels like the piece has taken on some other energy or moved in a direction not your choosing, ask if anyone other than you has handled the piece and make sure you are the only person who touches and wears it until you are ready to pass it on to someone else.

If your piece of jewelry needs clearing, placing it in sunshine in a sacred spot of your choosing (preferably in sunshine) will help dispel unwanted vibrations. I use a smudge stick sometimes, salt at other times, and a Tibetan singing bowl a lot of the time.

Tibetan singing bowls are a wonderful way to clear any room, article of clothing or jewelry, or even the mind, emotions and body, of unwanted energy. There is a link on my ebay site about how to play a Tibetan singing bowl. Experience is the best teacher. Just trust the process as you play.

And remember, do what you need to do, but don’t hurt anyone. Your thoughts and emotions do matter. They carry energy out into the world. If emotions and thoughts from humans can affect plants and animals, then they certainly can affect everything else, including other people. Take responsibility for your emotions and thoughts and we will be one step closer to creating the kind of world we all wish to live in.

And as always, blessings on your head and heart. May your light shine for all the world to see. And remember, life is a dance and you the perfect dancer!

Bright Blessings!
