Crystal Ball Gazing

A successful scrying session largely depends on the atmosphere and mood that you set. It is important to never force a reading if you're not feeling up-to or in the mood. This will only result in a false reading . Crystal ball gazing is best done in a dimly lit room , you can burn incense and light candles ect., play soft music , making sure that you will not be disturbed is also a good idea. Before you use your ball make sure it is clean and dust/fingerprint free . You can do this by wiping it with a damp soft cloth , however if your ball is new it is important to cleanse it making sure it's free from negative energies , there are a few ways of doing this . 1: Smudging Sage, frankincense, sandalwood, cedar , are all good for this , or use a smudge stick. Simply pass your ball through the smoke of the incense /smudge stick , let the smoke carry away any unwanted energies until you feel it is cleansed 2:Dry salt fill a large bowl with sea salt and place your ball in it . burying it for 24 hours . Remove the ball and wipe clean, DO NOT add water to the salt , this will damage your ball , only use dry sea salt . 3:Sound Sound vibrations are a quick easy way to cleanse your ball , simply sing/chant whatever inspires you , wind-chimes , gong, bell, are also great to use . sing/chant or ring your bell close to your ball until it feels cleansed to you . 4; Sun/ moon place your ball on a window ledge or somewhere safe outside , leave for 24 hours to absorb the energy of the sun/moon Preparing your space : Prepare your spiritual space , burn some incense and candles if you wish , do what feels right to you, after all this is your space .
