I've been re-reading my copy of The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall and found this crystal meditation that I thought would be fun to share with the coven! I don't claim any of these ideas as my own, I'm only passing on the lovely practice from the book so that others can include it in their craft as well. Just a note, I've modified the beginning information and the meditation a bit from the original context of the book.
Opening
Meditating with a crystal is one of the easiest ways to attune to it's energy. Make sure to cleanse the crystal before meditating with it, and be sure to cleanse the crystal based on what it specifically needs (avoid sunlight for amethyst, be careful with some crystals in water, etc). Meditation is a way to alleviate stress, lower blood pressure, and this exercise will also help with connecting to your crystal(s).
It can be good to have a "crystal day" where you tune into each of your crystals, starting with the red crystals to energize and awaken, and moving all through the rainbor spectrum into orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, violet, and clear. This pathway helps realign energies and bring you into the highest crystal vibration. It can also be useful to ground afterwards using brown or black crystals so that you won't feel floaty afterwards.
Exercise
Making sure that you will not be disturbed, especially by a phone or other disruptive device, settle yourself comfortably with your crystal of choice. Hold it in both hands or place it on a low table in front of you.
Breathe gently, letting each out-breath be a little longer than the in-breath. As you breathe out, let go of any stress or tension you may be feeling. As you breathe in, let peace flow with your in-breath passing right through your body. Allow your breathing to settle into an easy rhythm.
With sofly focused eyes, look at your crystal. Notice its color, shape, texture and weight if you're holding it. Feel its vibrations passing into your hands. Allow yourself to wander within the crystal, exploring its inner planes. If you are an animist, this would be a good chance to introduce yourself and get to know any spirits residing within the crystal, although this isn't necessary. When you are ready, close your eyes. Quietly contemplate the energies of the crystal and let it teach you about itself.
When you have completed the meditation, open your eyes and put the crystal aside. Place your feet firmly on the ground. Ground yourself in any way you prefer.

This is an amazing post! I will try that today if I can, or after Yule so I can be at peace and not be disturbed. I'm sure it will help you connect to your crystals and make you more tunned to nature and them, of course.
Have you tried this? If so, with which crystal and how did it make you feel?
I can't wait to try this and share it with all of you!
