There's not a true 'activation' of a crystal to uncover their powers. Rather, there's prep you should do to make sure you Abalone Shell crystal is ready to use in your healing practice.
Abalone Shell is a bit different than some of the other crystal elements we offer. Typically, we'll give a few methods of cleansing for each of our elements to ensure you're getting rid of any negative energy that might be surrounding it. These methods range from running it under water to leaving it out in the moonlight. A method that has come up before is smudging using a sage, or other herb, stick.
Since ancient times, Abalone Shell has been used in smudging rituals. When not in element form, Abalone Shell is usually dish-shaped, making it the perfect vessel for catching debris from whatever herb you're using in the ritual. Since this crystal comes from the ocean, it also brings the healing powers of mother nature into your cleansing ritual.
Our Abalone Shell elements are not big enough to be used in smudging rituals, however. You could still wear your Abalone Shell element when you are conducting a cleansing ritual to still include the power of the ocean!
How Do You Reap the Benefits of Wearing Abalone Shell Crystal Jewelry?
Now that you know what a powerful cleansing tool Abalone Shell is, it's time to start your practice. When you begin practicing crystal healing, with any crystal, the first step is to fully open your mind. Think about what doubts or skepticisms you might have about the practice and get rid of those hesitancies.
After opening your mind, it's time to set an intention. Like we discussed earlier, it's important to have a set goal of what you'd like to accomplish with your crystal. Return to what Abalone Shell is associated with and build your intention from there. Your intention should be specific and meaningful to you. For Abalone Shell, you might consider setting an intention to stay grounded as you enter a period of turmoil.
Once you land on an intention, take your Abalone Shell element and hold it in your hands. Close your eyes, find your zen, and speak your intention into the element. Repeat the intention into your hands a few times to really cement what you'd like to get out of crystal healing. When you wear your Abalone Shell crystal, think about your intention. Make decisions that align with that intention in your everyday life.
As things change in your life, you might decide you want to set a new intention. That's completely normal, and to be expected. To set a new intention, simply repeat this process with your new intention.
