Scrying is a way of looking into the crystal ball and getting an insight into the mystical world. Mostly it is practiced in a dimly lit area. 

Foretelling
The crystal ball predictions are not a myth, but gazing at the crystal ball gives insights from the subconscious mind of psychics and that is how  popular psychics have been predicting the future by gazing into the crystal ball. The images about the person’s future are seen in the mind of the psychic and not the crystal ball. This crystal ball is only a medium through which the psychic connects to different realms. The psychic is in a trance state when they are looking at the crystal ball.

Selecting a crystal ball
If you want to begin with scrying, you need to first decide what kind of crystal ball you need. There are different kinds of crystal balls available, and each has different properties. For instance, there is carnelian, lapis lazuli, amber, smoky quartz, amethyst, obsidian, labradorite, and many other kinds of crystals that are available online and in many crystal stores in your local area.  Among all of these crystals, the most popular ones which are available are lapis lazuli, labradorite, amethyst, and smoky quartz. These crystals are said to be spiritual crystals and they also protect the practitioner from any kind of psychic attacks during their course of learning. Your intuitive abilities will be heightened and you will be able to find all the solutions for you problems psychically. 

Cleansing a crystal ball
All the crystals that you purchase should to be cleansed prior to using them. Since, many people before you have touched them and used them, these crystals will have energies stored from different people, which needs to be neutralized. Therefore, if you are beginning to learn about crystal gazing, these are the first few steps that you need to follow. Any crystal that you buy, you have to cleanse them before using it. To be able to do this, first wash the crystal ball in room temperature, soak it in salt water. Himalayan sea salt is the best cleanser.  If you are using a crystal that represents fire, then use sunlight to soak these cleansed crystals. If you are using milder crystals made of rose quartz, etc. use moonlight to soak it with the energy of full moon. When using the energy of moon rays, soak these crystals in moonlight only on the night of the full moon.

Smudging
You can cleanse the energy of a room when you place an activated crystal in that room. An activated crystal will have your pure thoughts and intentions and this will reflect throughout the room. Also, since crystals are good at absorbing and reflecting energies, be careful that you will not use any negative thoughts while activating the crystal. These cleansing rituals, protection rituals, cleaning crystal ball, meditation, are useful for the evolution of the human consciousness. Once your thought is in line with that of the crystal you use, meditate upon this crystal for a lengthier amount of time. Your subconscious mind will be trained to be in line with the divine energy from the universe. You must always light incense, like sage, sandalwood, frankincense, etc. Doing this simple protection ritual in the morning and in the evening will work wonders. Once, the crystal ball is activated do not expose it to sunlight, unless and until you want to cleanse and reactivate it.

How to use an activated crystal ball
First choose a quiet room. There should be no background noise. Dim the light, burn candles, incense, and always place the crystal ball on a solid surface that is dark in color. Always ensure that the surface you use to place the crystal ball is dark and not something that would reflect light. You can cleanse the room as well before placing the crystal for additional benefits. Clean your hands and also wear light colored clean clothes before handling the crystal. Now hold the crystal in your hands and create a bond with this crystal. While holding the crystal, think about the objective or the purpose you have in your mind. Visualize the question in your mind while holding this crystal. Now ask the question in your mind. Place the crystal back onto the table, and gaze at it, while intuitively touching the realms in your mind. When you start focusing, you will have visions in your mind, and your mind will become receptive to these messages. You will thus, start to develop psychic powers as regularly as you practice them.
