A bit of History:
The earliest recorded use of crystals as divination tools dates back to the Celtic Druids of Gaulle, Britain, and Ireland. According to Northcote W. Thomas’s 1905 book, crystal gazing was commonly practiced by the Pawnee, the Iroquois, the Incas, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Chinese, and the people of Yucatan. People often associate a gypsy reading crystal ball as a symbol of mystical power. A psychic sees different images when looking at the crystal ball. These images bring information about situations and guidance for resolving problems. These can be in the form of flashes, symbols or vague feelings.
How does it work?
First, you have to concentrate on the purpose for the session. You may visualize the issue or ask a question about it. Silently or not. Hold the ball in your hands for a while to energize it and strengthen your psychic link with it. Let images and messages come freely to your mind without intention or direction. Answers will come (or not) to you easily, free your mind, don’t look for them. You will need some practice before getting good at it!
Water signs as Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are the most intuitive signs. They should be well inspired and more willing to practice this psychic activity. Gemstones emanate the energy of the stone, they contain positive energies, love and protection. Crystal balls can be used during Meditation. They are powerful healing tools as well.
