What you need: 5-10 different types of crystals. Blindfold/just close your eyes
What to do:
Set the crystals apart from each other but within reach. Close your eyes and mix them up. Then grab a crystal and sense what color the stone gives off. Open your eyes and see if you’re right.
Repeat. Tip: rub your hands together to try and sense the stones color energy.
It’s an activity that I learned in the crystal school I took part in.
How’d you do??
Was it harder than you thought? Or easier?
So I’ve done this a couple times with just a few stones and seem to have no problems identifying their colors. So I’m upping the ante and adding more stones to my bag. I’ve got some that are the same color as well as some that are very close but different. I picked all tumbled stones and ones that were as similar shaped as possible so I couldn’t tell them apart from touch alone.
@christina4 some of them I know as soon as I touch it. Others I have to hold it for a second or two before I see the color, not necessarily rubbing it but it helps.
I should note that by “see the color” I mean the word pops in my head. I have aphantasia which means I can’t create images in my head. Picturing things is s series of descriptions along with smells and sensations.
For me it’s normal but I was discussing it with my mom and brother this past weekend and both were “wait, what?” I didn’t know it was weird until probably highschool and didn’t know it had a name until this year!
I’m also clairaudience (clear hearing), claircognizance (clear knowing) and clairsentience (clear feeling). I just know and feel things about people or situations. I’ll hear things others don’t and communicate with my spirit guides/deities through voices in my head or just knowing things. That was really weird for me when it started happening but now I’m used to it. Although, I probably look like a mad woman when I’m telling Aphrodite she has enough flowers at home when I’m at the store, lol.
I am clairaudient and sentient. On top of being empathic, it took me years to learn that I need to ground myself a lot!!! I was always inverted and shy. I kept to myself and I liked it that way. I still do but, that’s neat meeting someone similar. You can learn to heighten intuition by practice!
And protection. I’d recommend stones like a grounding crystal like a smoky quartz or petrified wood and a protective type like black obsidian or tourmaline. Just carry them in your pocket or around you whenever you’re mostly in the zone for receiving negative energy.
