Now, let’s explore how to harness the energy of amethyst through a simple crystal meditation. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare Your Crystal:

• Find a genuine amethyst crystal. It can be a tumbled stone, a crystal cluster, or even a piece of jewellery.
• Hold the crystal in your hand and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.

2. Set Your Intention:

3. Begin the Meditation:

• Place the crystal on the floor or a small table before you.
• Sit comfortably, with your back straight, and close your eyes.

4. Visualise the Amethyst Energy:

• Imagine a soft, violet light emanating from the crystal. See this light surrounding you and gently enveloping your entire body.

5. Connect with Your Intention:

• With each breath, focus on your intention. Imagine how the amethyst energy is assisting you in achieving your goal or finding answers to your questions.

6. Meditate for 10-15 Minutes:

• Continue to meditate in this state, allowing the amethyst’s energy to guide you. Be open to any insights or feelings that arise during the meditation.

7. Express Gratitude:

• When you’re ready to conclude the meditation, thank the amethyst crystal for its assistance.
• Take a moment to acknowledge any sensations or thoughts you experienced.

8. Ground Yourself:
