Did You Know? Some Stores Program Crystals

Did you know that a number of crystal stores program crystals before selling them?

And there is no way of knowing what the program is, so you might wish to do a process to cancel or clear any programs embodied in your crystal.

Many people do not know this, and there is no way of knowing if they have placed any program in the stone.

Sometimes what other people think is right for you may not be.

Help! I made a mistake & programmed it wrong!

Are you worried that what you did when programming your crystals didn't quite work out how you planned it.

FAQ: About How To Deprogram Crystals 

There are a couple of questions combined here as I have had people asking the same question related to how to deprogram crystals, in different ways including:

  • Can I add a second program to my crystal?

It is best to have only one main program in each crystal, but you may like to have a cleansing program as well. Just make sure that the ideals do not conflict with each other.

Once the crystal has assisted you to achieve the original aim, you may like to remove the program and start again.

Adding a second program may simply make both programs ineffective unless they are both quite similar.

Answer To Question

When programming it, you can add a multi-faceted program, including self cleansing along with any other desirable ideas. But do this at the same time.

Later you may have forgotten exactly what it was programmed to do, and this might be because the program has done its job.

  • Help! I made a mistake and programmed it wrong.

Simply deprogram the crystal, using the instructions.

  • How do I change the program once its done its job?

The answer is to remove the program once it has achieved its aim as it is quite easy to doSee instructions above about how to deprogram your crystals.
