5 Tips For Crystal Shopping at Soulful Abundance
Because I have such a deep respect and love for crystals, I take the purchase of a new one very seriously. I love offering a huge variety of crystals for my customers, but picking a crystal is a very personal process.
Here are my top 5 tips for adding a new crystal to your collection. These will assist you in making a more knowledgeable and intuitive selection. So, relax and enjoy the process!
1: Research what crystal you need.
If you are looking for a new crystal for your collection or a specific purpose, it’s good to narrow down what type of crystal you will be searching for beforehand. You are going to want to research a bit before you even go shopping. When I buy a new crystal, I introduce it into my life, bringing it into my home, and potentially keeping it for the rest of my life! Why wouldn't I want to learn a little bit more about the crystal I am seeking?
If you are not sure what crystal you need or just want to see what is in the shop, enjoy the mystery and see what crystals speak to you when you walk in the door. Many times the crystal we need is seeking us!
2. Center yourself before going into a crystal shop.
When you walk into any crystal shop, the energy can be chaotic and overpowering if you are not prepared. A lot is going on! You can't contain your excitement...there are lots of pretty stones and rocks all emitting powerful vibes! With so many amazing crystals to pick from, even entering a crystal store can be daunting at times.
Before you enter, take a moment to practice some deep breathing or grounding. Consider your aims and what you want to achieve with this purchase. Set your intention. Resist the impulse to "grab everything" and instead attempt to tap into your inner wisdom so that you leave knowing you made the proper choice. This will help you tune into the crystals that are speaking to you.
3. Ask questions.
I am here and will gladly help you in any way possible! Don't be afraid! Ask those questions; I have extensive knowledge and am happy to share my expertise! If I don’t know I will research on the spot.
The better informed you are, the more satisfied you will be knowing you are getting the right crystal for your needs.
4. Follow your intuition
As you go around the shop, pay attention to your body, thoughts, and feelings. We are frequently pulled to places and things that the universe wishes for us to witness. If you feel a "pull" towards something or somewhere, don't be afraid to investigate it. Don't overlook it! I firmly believe that our intuition will lead us to the correct stone. Perhaps this isn't the crystal you were hoping to find today, but it could be just what you need right now. Last but not least, have fun and believe in yourself! Sometimes it really is all about the one that sparkles to you the most.
5. Touch and hold them!
Doesn't that sound simple? But you'd be surprised how many people buy new crystals without ‘actually’ holding them! That's like purchasing a new car without taking it for a test drive. It is an absolute must! So, hold that crystal and observe how it affects you. Close your eyes, relax your mind, and consider how it feels in your hand. Feel the energy, the temperature, and the weight, how do they change as you hold the crystal? Remember, the crystals are looking for you too, they will speak to you.
This is one of the most essential steps when acquiring a new crystal, so don't rush it!
