De La Jipi’s Crystal “How-To”Guide

🔮 Getting Started with Crystal Healing! 🔮

Hey, sweet soul! Whether you’re contemplating getting your hands on your first set of crystals or already have a few in your stash, I got you with learning more about how to work with the energy of crystals.

If you are new to crystal healing, I recommend taking a look at my Instagram, as I have TONS of free resources that may be of service to you.

I also offer crystal consultations, if you are looking to deepen your crystal healing practice and/or need help with selecting the right crystal/s to journey with as well as how to truly benefit from using them. You can connect with me further by booking a crystal consultation.

🔮 Picking The Right Crystal

There are so many ways to pick the right crystal for yourself! Here are a few:

  1. Start With The Basics

    There are a few crystals that are well regarded as beginner friendly (easy to work with) but still super effective.

    My recommendation for beginners are:
    - Rose Quartz
    - Amethyst
    - Black Tourmaline
    - Clear Quartz
    - Tigers Eye

  2. Research

    Take time to research what you are manifesting/what energy you desire to work with and what crystal could benefit you on that journey.


    For example: “I would like to attract more money into my life”
    So you might research: “Crystals for prosperity”, “Crystals for attracting wealth, money and success” or “Crystals for attracting abundance”.

    See what crystals come up in your research and go from there.

  3. Crystal Gaze

    If you are selecting from an array of crystals (typically in person), it can be beneficial to crystal gaze.

    Here’s how you do it:

    — Focus your attention on the array of crystals
    — Pay attention to what feelings come up


    You may feel flushed, cool, extremely calm or excited. The feelings vary from person to person. Either way, you’ll know when THAT feeling hits and when it does, you’ll know that that’s the crystal for you.

  4. Use Your Energy

    Because you’re powerful babe!

    If you are selecting from an array of crystals (in person), try activating your hand chakras (by simply rubbing your palms together in a swift motion).

    Gently and slowly move your non-dominate hand (which is considered to be your receiving hand) about an inch over an array of crystals.

    Allow you hand to pass/glide over each crystal slowly. Pay attention to the feeling, vibration, pull or warmth that may happen. This is how you’ll know your energy is attracted to that of the crystal/s.

  5. Use Your Intuition

    My personal favorite way to recommend is (and use) is … USE YOUR INTUITION.

    Even if you don’t know much or anything about crystal healing — even if you don’t know exactly where to start — Spirit knows and Spirit will guide you. Have faith in that.

    So many times, I’ll connect with someone and they’ll be drawn to a specific crystal and they won’t know why. Upon talking with them, they’ll discuss all of the reasons why they wanted to purchase a crystal, why they wanted to begin their journey … and well, the crystal that were attracted to, is a crystal that can help them! How sweet is that?

🔮 Cleansing, Charging + Programming Your Crystal

There are many ways to cleanse + charge your crystals but let’s cover a few (that can work for all crystals) to get you started:

  1. Sacred Smoke

    Simply submerge your crystal in sacred smoke.

    Sacred smoke includes
    — Smudge Bundles including but not limited to ethically sourced sage, rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus and many others
    — Palo Santo
    — Incense

  2. Sacred Sound

    In my practice, I have learn that sound is at the core of all Afro-Indigenous, Caribbean, Latinx and African healing practices. Sound is more expansive and healing than most can imagine.

    When used correctly, its frequency is the only one that can cover, cleanse and charge crystals.


    So what do you do?


    If you have a tibetan singing bowl, crystal singing bowl or any sacred sound instrument, you can play this near your crystals. You can also utilize your voice and chant.


    If you don’t any sound instruments or don’t feel like chanting, no worries — you can play a healing frequency via youtube or join The Oasis for sound baths.

  3. You!

    The magick and power is within you. So, yes … there are so many ways that you, yourself can cleanse and charge your crystals.

    Here’s how:
    — Breath.
    With a bit of force, blow over your crystals with the intention to remove any negative, heavy or built up energy.

    — Visualization.
    Hold your crystal and visualize the energy that it has collected being cleared from it.
    Next visualize a bright light moving through the crown of your head into the crystal. Visualize how you want this crystal to help you.
    Speak it aloud (or in your head).

No matter what way you resonate with, the most important thing to remember is that the power is of YOU and within YOUR intention. This is what matters most.

Whether you pick a Rose Quartz crystal or a Carnelian. Whether you decide to cleanse with sacred smoke or visualization. The most important thing is that you set an healing and aligned intention before, during and after your practice.

Ask yourself —

  • Why am I cleansing this crystal?

  • What/How do I want this crystal to help me (with)?

Then Affirm It —
Here are some examples:

  • I am cleansing this crystal of any negative and heavy energy.

  • I am programming this crystal to help me attract more wealth into my life. And so it is!

🔮 More Sweet Reminders To Journey With

  • It’s important to cleanse your crystals once you receive them in the mail or after purchasing them from anywhere … though I hope you consider purchasing your ethically sourced crystals from De La Jipi. I mean you’re already here, right? Lol

  • Crystals are just a tool. Although powerful and beneficial — the magick, the divinity is YOU and within you. Crystals just help to amplify and/or help you (re)discover your inner magick. I say that to say, don’t rely on crystals to do the work for you. You do the work, the crystals assist. And that’s with ANY spiritual + divination tool.

  • This is just a beginning guide. Be sure to do more research on your own and connect with people, guides, coaches, practitioners and peers who feel good to and for you. If you are looking for a sacred space and community, check out more of our free resources and digital offerings, consider joining the email list and check out The Oasis.

Sweet Soul, thank you for being here. I pray that this guide was helpful for you.
