6 Ways to Use the Crystal Intentions Oracle for a Happy Life, by Margaret Ann Lembo
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
People want to be happy, feel loved, be safe, enjoy abundance and prosperity, and increase intuition, and have the ability to express who they truly are. With crystal clear focus, you can be and feel fulfilled once you establish an intention and maintain positive thoughts. Your imagination plays a powerful part in this adventure—the adventure of creating the life you really want.
Visualization and your imagination are the tools to bring about your desired result. And, of course, action is necessary. Visualizing the intention or goals precedes action—even in ordinary everyday tasks. Add an ardent desire with a vivid imagination and make up your mind to imagine life as if all that you want has already become a reality. It is very powerful to paint your results in advance. Focus is necessary to create reality. Use the full palette of color by including specific colors and crystals as a reminder to help you maintain focus. Include positive thoughtforms in the form of affirmations. It's your life, so enjoy the sparkling energy of crystals as allies in your daily life.
The Crystal Intentions Oracle is perfect to aid you in maintaining that focus. Pick a card from the deck, and focus on the guidance and affirmation along with the beautiful gemstone to manifest the reality you want. Take the card with you for the day or prop it up in a place where you will see it. Pause from time to time throughout the day to read and contemplate the guidance and affirmations found on both sides of the card. And, if you are a rock hound like me, you'll enjoy gazing at the crystal and learning more about the properties of that stone.
Let's start with forming the intentions using the Crystal Intentions Oracle for each of the areas of life mentioned above: to be happy, feel loved, be safe, enjoy abundance and prosperity, increase our intuition, and express who we truly are. I picked 6 cards—one from each category in the deck; each category contains 7 cards, for a total of 42 cards in the deck.
- Love, Friendship, and Romance
Watermelon Tourmaline is one of the seven cards in the Love, Friendship, and Romance category. Turn to watermelon tourmaline and the positive thoughts on this card when you want to attract love and good relations. It is a perfect energy to amplify your attention on opening your heart and allowing love in your life. Start with yourself and connect with positive self-talk and self-acceptance. - Health and Well-Being
The Chrysocolla card jumped out of the deck. This is a personal favorite gem for restoring balance on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The color combination of blue and green are ideal to release disturbing negative repetitive thoughts. Most people I know are challenged by this, so gaze at this card and take a deep breath! - Money, Creativity, and Motivation
Are you ready to encourage prosperous thinking and money? I asked this question and chose one of the seven cards in this category. I pulled the Copper card. All the wealth and abundance is available to you. So if you are feeling blocked or stagnant, then focus on the Copper card and the positive thoughts to activate motivation and inspired action. It's all available to you—think good thoughts and just do it! - Focus, Safety, and Protection
The Jet card is the card I drew from this group. Sometimes we need a reminder that we are safe and all is well. It's easy to go down the mental and emotional path of worry, angst, and frustration. Using the Focus, Safety, and Protection category of cards can really help you quiet your mind and release anxiety. Deflect those negative thoughts with Jet by your side. Keep reminding yourself that you are safe and sound and divinely protected. Everything is OK! - Happiness and Self-Confidence
Of course, I pulled my favorite joyful crystal from this category: Citrine. The brilliant yellow vibe of this crystal is a perfect reminder that it is safe for you to shine your light and be powerful. If you are feeling less than others or unworthy for this or that, then hold onto the golden yellow ray within Citrine's happy energy. This gemstone perfect to help you give yourself permission to be all that you can be. Remember your true brilliance and take the time to visualize your magnificence. - Intuition and Spirit Communication
Life always feels easier when we are tuned in and tapped into guidance from the heavenly realm. Try taking the time to cultivate your relationship—your friendship—with your entourage. The heavenly entourage is already available and ready to serve, yet it is up to each one of us to petition and request assistance from angels, spirit guides, and loved ones on the Other Side. Put the Celestite card on your nightstand before bed. There are many ways to increase intuition and the ability to communicate with spirit. One of my favorite ways is to receive insight, information, and messages from my loved ones.
There are seven stones in each category, and six categories. That's forty-two ways to improve your thoughts, feelings, health, and spiritual connection. Within the Crystal Intentions Oracle, you can choose a different stone every day to help you establish intention as well as have another beautiful crystal at which to gaze and get to know.
Using the card deck daily to start your day and end your day is a perfect self-care tool. Life is much better when we maintain the focus on goodness and well-being. A few more ideas for using the Crystal Intentions Oracle:
- Gratitude: Find the perfect card to pair with your gratitude practice and watch life blossom.
- Readings: The Crystal Intentions Oracle is a perfect add-on to an angel card reading, a spiritual counseling session, or a tarot card reading. A few cards can grant clarity and a deeper message.
- Spa Day: Use it on a spa day before you go in for your treatment so you can use that time to think good thoughts as you relax and get pampered.
I would love to hear from you about the ways that you use the Crystal Intentions Oracle and how it has helped you. Find me on Facebook on the Crystal Intentions Oracle Page for videos, card interpretations, and FB Live events!

Interesting Twist on Psychometry
My birthday is Nov. 11, 1982. Ever since I was a little girl, whenever someone holds something that belongs to me and treats it gently or with great care, I feel a strange, warm tingling sensation that seems to start in the center of my chest and expand outward in every direction. This happens whether it’s something I treasure like a favorite stuffed animal or a photograph, or something as trivial as a pencil. It happened constantly when I was young, and it still happens now that I’m an adult, though not as often. For many years I didn’t think anything of it because it was just a normal part of my experience. Since I’ve never heard of anyone else experiencing this, however, I now realize it is probably unusual. What on earth is this feeling? I’m very curious!
– Trudy
Dreamchaser:
You are an empath, which means you can feel the emotions of those around you. This happens most often when someone holds something of yours.
First let’s explore some definitions:
Empathy: n. 1. The ability to sense and/or understand emotion(s) from another person, animal or inanimate object incorporating stimulation to any and or all of the senses (including the sixth sense) without verbally being told and/or without obvious visual clues. 2. The ability to be sensitive and receptive to outside emotional stimuli. – adj. empathic or empathetic., v. to empathize
Empath: n. 1. A person who has the ability to experience empathy towards another person, and/or animate/inanimate objects, in part or from all of the above definition. 2. A person who is sensitive to the emotions in others.
I am sure that you can also feel other people’s emotions. If you walk past someone who is sad on the sidewalk, you just “know” it and you feel that sadness inside of yourself. When a friend comes to you with problems, I’m sure you cry with them and feel their pain.
The fact that you can sense how someone feels about you when they hold something of yours is an interesting twist that displays that your heart chakra (located at your solar plexus) is very big. It is probably your largest chakra.
I would like for you to do the following exercise frequently to make sure you stay grounded, which is very important for you.
Sit peacefully and relax. Let the ground or chair support you. Let your muscles go. Take in an easy, deep breath, and then let it out your mouth, parting your lips slightly as you exhale.
Let your arms feel heavy, pulling down your shoulders. Breathe. Let that heavy feeling flow down your torso and legs so you feel deeply relaxed all the way down to your feet on the ground.
Now picture and feel roots growing from your feet into the ground like a tree’s roots going down into the layers of cool dirt, growing around rocks, traveling further and further down into the earth. Let the roots grow as deep as you wish.
Now feel the healing, rhythmic energy of the earth itself flowing up through your roots, slowly traveling up to your feet, up through your legs and quickly filling your entire body. Feel this positive, grounded, earth energy throughout your entire being. Take in a deep cleansing breath, and exhale.
When you are ready, open your eyes and know that this grounded energy will remain with you throughout your day.
I wish you peace and calm.

Astrea:Without the time and place you were born, I can’t determine your whole astrological chart, but in your general chart, I do see why you’re having this experience.
You have Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars in Scorpio! Your moon is in Libra (very sensitive), but it’s on the cusp of Scorpio. Uranus is on the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius. You have so much Scorpio in your chart! No wonder you feel so intensely when others hold your possessions.
In fact, in 30 years of drawing charts, I’ve never seen one with so much Scorpio. This is extremely unusual.
You are one of our precious indigo children here to change the world. With that in mind, you have been given an unusual ability to go right to the heart of what someone is feeling.
Also, as a water sign, you would be more sensitive to others’ emotions than thoughts, so when someone is having warm and loving feelings about you, and holding an item of value to you, you pick that up and pull it into your harmony.
Your Scorpio sun allows you to feel the emotions others feel for you. In fact, since you have several planets in Scorpio, you must be very psychically gifted all around. With your natural ability, your mind is able to focus on others in a sharp, penetrating way. Even if you’re not consciously thinking about others’ feelings, when they’re holding something of yours, your mind and spirit will resonate with them.
You felt this more as a child because you didn’t think then that you should have to control your natural ability. Education, prejudices and religious pressure probably caused you to block a good bit of your ability. Please try not to do that!
You indigo and crystal kids are all we have to help the world out of the mess the rest of us have made it. We need you to be able to use every tiny bit of ability you were born with. Developing your gift will open up other gifts to you that you may not even realize you have.
Try to practice every chance you get. If you need to be sneaky about it, all that Scorpio in your chart should help. “Subtle” is a key word in describing your personality. Be nonchalant, and you’ll be amazed at how much information will instantly be available to you.
For example, you might hand someone your keys and see what you feel. While I realize you don’t “love” your keys, they’re still very important to you, and they’re metal, so they’re good conductors of energy.
As time goes by, you’ll be able to develop this skill into something very useful for the world. It may take a lot of work and practice, but believe me, it will be worth it.
