This week we’re going to talk about communicating with crystal. In the last blog post I hinted at what was to come. Namely, learning to determine when and how the crystal “speaks” to you based on your particular “clair”. In order to better understand what I am talking about in communicating with crystal, we will delve deeper into this concept of what I am calling “clairs”.
