Crystals are prepared for programming by charging them. Programming a crystal aligns the energy of the crystal to the intent. Using a carefully thought-out affirmation and directing this to the centre of the crystal is sufficient to programme it. Below are three of the most common ways of programming.
•Place the crystal on a large crystal cluster dedicated to the specific purpose for which it is required.
•Place the crystal in the centre of a circle of other crystals whose ends are pointing towards the centre and the new crystal.
•Put the crystal in sun and/or moonlight, stating the specific intent connected with the crystal. Many people believe that the days relating to the summer and winter solstices, the Full and the New Moon, and the vernal and autumnal equinox are more heavily charged than other days.
