The first step in learning how to scry is to select your crystal. There are no rules for this process. Allow your imagination and feelings to guide you to your instrument. Some prefer crystals that are perfectly clear. Others enjoy inclusions and look for crystals with "windows" or "doors." Whatever you choose, take time to bond with it. Scrying tools become a direct extension of the scryer so it is best that you develop an understanding of the tool. Taking the time to meditate with your crystal is a good way to get to know it. The effort and time taken in this initial getting acquainted phase will pay off in the long run.



To begin the actual process of scrying. Choose a place where you are not likely to be disturbed. The amount of light in the area should be no more than that emitted by a single candle. An ideal source of light is a light box, the kind normally used to display crystals. When you place your crystal on a light box, no other light is necessary in the room. If you do not use a light box, the light source should be placed low and behind you. This positions your body between the crystal and the source of light, eliminating the chance of direct reflection of the light by the crystal. Dim light is suggested for the simple reason it enhances concentration and eliminates distractions. As you become more proficient at gazing, you will be able to do so in direct sun light if you wish.

Placement of the crystal in relationship to the scryer is also important. Keep in mind you will be looking intently into the crystal for at least twenty minutes at a time. Therefore, you do not want to position the crystal in a way that will cause physical discomfort. Remember, as your skill with scrying increases, so will the time you spend in front of the crystal. Physical discomfort will break your concentration and turn scrying into a chore. So pick a comfortable chair, get relaxed, place your crystal at the proper height and distance for best viewing, sit back and enjoy the experience.

Take a few deep breaths. As you do this, look intently into the crystal. Staring promotes tearing of the eyes causing you to blink. Instead, try to think of unfocusing your eyes. Just rest your gaze on the crystal and allow your eyes to relax. At this stage, you may find your eyelids wanting to close about half way. Allow this to happen. During this phase, develop a conscious link between your third eye and the crystal. An easy way of accomplishing this is to visualize a ray of light coming out from your third eye and entering the crystal. Some will experience a tightness in the forehead but don't be alarmed if this sensation doesn't happen to you.

The next thing to watch for is the clouding of the crystal. A small light will appear and from that light, clouds will form and spread. There may even appear a tiny light show within the clouds. You are well on your way. Eventually the clouds will clear and pictures will emerge.

Clouds will develope into different colors. These colors will have different meanings.

I had only scried one time when I began to see the clouds of colors. It is facinating to watch as the clouds roll past you. I was truely amazed. Try to notice the cloud colors, they can be very informative on their own merit.

In the beginning, try not to judge the pictures or control the flow. Trust you will be shown what you need to see in the sequence you need to see it. As time goes on, the ability to ask questions and receive answers will develop. You should keep a log to facilitate a better understanding of what you are seeing and experiencing. Just as with dreams, there is a symbology with scrying. The most difficult part of scrying is figuring out what you are seeing. At times you will see actual events happening now. Other times, you may see events from history. Spiritual teachings may come in the form of symbolic pictures. Future happenings can also come through in symbols or actual scenes. It is often difficult to distinguish reality from your own symbology. The main thing to do is to RELAX! Let the sequences flow by you.

ENJOY YOURSELF & HAPPY SCRYING!!!
