I have tried a few different methods for the use of crystals.
Before anything, it's important to first cleanse it. Personally, I use Demonic blue energy for this purpose. Alternatively, you can place the stone out in the Sun and program the energy of the Sun to cleanse it. Some texts mention cleansing with water, but this is not meant to be taken literally - it refers to the purifying properties of the element of water. Although I would suppose that submerging the stone in water and impregnating it with the water element and programming it to purify the stone would also be effective.
I have experimented with simply carrying the stones (just for the sake of experimentation) without any purification or charging, but as expected, I did not do anything.
I have performed one-shot workings where I would purify a stone and imbue it with the corresponding rune. I would vibrate the rune into the stone around 50 times and then carry it with me at all times. While this method has been effective, the effects tend to dissipate rather quickly.
Additionally, this method can also be used to imbue stones with specific energies that can influence individuals. For instance, my ex-girlfriend had too much masculine energy and we tried to fix that, I charged a moonstone with the energy of the actual Moon and the rune Berkano (and another two that I can't remember at the moment). She carried the stone and it actually worked to amplify her feminine energies. However, the effects also wore off after a week or two, so the stone needed to be recharged.
One of the most powerful and long-lasting methods of working with stones is to perform a 40-day working while carrying the stone with you at all times. During the working/meditation, you can visualize the stone amplifying or absorbing the desired energies. In addition to the tips on the Runes page, you can also consult the astrology section to determine which stone would be best suited for a particular type of energy. For instance, I have used black onyx stones extensively in Saturn-related workings.
I have also used the stones with the squares in a similar fashion.
One cool thing you can do is go find them in Nature. Try to find a list of the areas where you can find specific kinds of stones.
Interesting, thank you for sharing your experience.BlackOnyx8 said:The mentioned book is pretty awesome. That's what I've been using for ages. Also, perform the ritual for Abrasax, and kindly ask Him to guide you and teach you about these things.

And three.
There's also a third version of the book. But I am not sure of its value over the first 2.

It sounds like perhaps you (and your girlfriend) were inadvertently draining the crystals.
I use stones without charging, and they definitely have an effect on me. It was NOT my mind deceiving me. This goes for random crystals I've found, not charged by anyone. Crystals, by their very nature, continuously generate their own energy (most, not all).
Cleaning in water is legit, just run it under tap water for a few seconds. Not all stones though, some are water soluble. You can see and feel the negative energy leaving them.

The left hand is related more to the Magnetic/contracting/"feminine"/yin and the right hand is more related to the Electric/expansive/"masculine"/yang. Energy is drawn into your left hand and out of your right hand.
You are feeling that the energy of the stone is more similar and related to the energy currents which flow in the left hand.

I don't know much about the effects of different stones.
But I think it would be good to draw energy from the stone into yourself through your left hand, and from yourself into the stone through your right hand.
I've heard people talking about putting stones under your pillow as you sleep to attune them to your soul or something. I don't remember where I saw this or how true it is or what that would do.I like to put my own energy into crystals by doing energy breathing and then breathing it directly into the crystal through my right hand. (I hold the crystal in my right hand and direct my energy into the crystal). I get good results from it and I figure the energies harmonize with me better and work better since they originate from me. What do you think would happen if I held it in my left hand and drew the energy into myself and then the stone using energy breathing? A more magnetic effect maby? Kindly advise please. (The stone is red jasper I used it for control and stability)
