The crystal ball is often used not only for divination, but also for practices to increase the level of intuitive perception. This technique has become popular because it is one of the easiest ways to improve your astral perception and vision. The crystal ball is usually made from a mineral called "quartz". This stone is able to capture thought forms and subtle energies due to the structure of its crystal lattice.
Some people are born with a certain gift of clairvoyance. The crystal ball, after a short amount of training and adjustment, can allow the practitioner to begin to see certain visual images that are expressed in the form of abstract pictures. With the help of quartz stone, it is much easier to concentrate on the right thoughts that cause visions.
The crystal ball is traditionally made round, however, virtually any shape of the crystal can be practiced. The sizealso not particularly important for divination. The same goes for transparency/opacity. Even a small crystal ball 3-5 cm in diameter can help focus attention.
Before trying to get information or answer a question with a crystal, you need to completely relax, enter a trance or meditative state.
Fortune telling on a crystal ball is as follows: take it in your hands, hold it, as if “activating” it. Carefully inspect the entire surface, mentally try to move your consciousness through it, into the very depths of the crystal. If everything is done correctly, then there will be a sensation of turning off the five senses and turning on the sixth sense, intuition, or supernatural perception. According to the occult tradition, it is believed that these five senses seem to "descend" to a certain point - a channel for connecting with an object such as a crystal ball (often this point is called the line of power, or the astral channel).
If the practitioner begins to feel vibrations in the crystal, then everything is going well and done right. Gradually, they will intensify and resonate with your energy body. What the fortuneteller wants to know about, as it were, emerges in his mind in the form of visions and images, since consciousness is inside the crystal - in the heart of a magical object called the "crystal ball".
Probably, many of you have seen the old posters, which depict "fortune tellers" with huge balls. The crystal itself does not have to be touched by hand. Need tohe stayed clean. Its surface represents the five sense organs (more precisely, their reflections). The soothsayer practitioner makes an attempt to reach in and connect with higher consciousness and superconsciousness.
Crystal balls often appear cloudy when you focus on them. But an experienced fortuneteller can see vague visions in this fog. After a certain time, these pictures will become clearer (the practitioner enters the so-called "alpha state"). The crystal ball must be perfectly polished so as not to be distracting, because a scratched surface can nullify all attempts to predict the future.
