The crystal ball is often used not only for divination, but also for practices that 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. A 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 from birth have a certain gift of clairvoyance. A crystal ball, after a short training and adjustment, may allow the practitioner to begin to see certain visual images, expressed in the form of abstract paintings. With quartz stone, it’s much easier to concentrate on the right thoughts that trigger the vision.
A crystal ball is traditionally made round, however, virtually any form of crystal may be suitable for practice. Size is also not very important for fortune telling. The same goes for transparency / opacity. Even a small crystal ball with a diameter of 3-5 cm can help in focusing attention.
Before trying to obtain 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 occurs as follows: take it in your hands, hold it, as if "activating" it. Carefully examine the entire surface, mentally try to move your consciousness through it, to the very depth 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 “descend” to a certain point — the channel of connection with an object such as a crystal ball (often this point is called the line of force, or the astral channel).
If the practitioner begins to feel vibrations in the crystal, then everything goes well and is done correctly. Gradually they will amplify and resonate with your energy body. What the fortuneteller wants to know about, as it were, pops up in his mind in the form of visions and images, since the consciousness is inside the crystal - in the heart of a magical object called a “crystal ball”.
Probably, many saw old posters that depicted "fortune tellers" with huge balls. The crystal itself does not have to be touched. It needs to be kept clean. Its surface represents five senses (more precisely, their reflections). The predictor practitioner attempts to penetrate inside and connect with higher consciousness and superconsciousness.
Crystal balls often seem blurred when concentrated on them. But an experienced fortuneteller can see vague visions in this fog. After some 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 distract, because a scratched surface can nullify all attempts to predict the future.
