Should You Choose a Crystal by Intuition?
Yes — but with structure.
Many guides say “just trust your intuition,” but for beginners, this can feel confusing.
The best approach is to combine both:
- Start with a clear intention
- Then choose the crystal you feel most drawn to
This balance gives you both clarity and personal connection.
