Why Can’t I Feel the Energy of My Crystals?

Hello kind soul,

If you’ve ever held a crystal in your hand and wondered why you can’t feel its energy, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions I’m asked, and it’s an important one.

The simple truth is: feeling energy is a psychic gift. Specifically, it’s the gift of clairsentience—the ability to sense or feel subtle energies.

The good news? This is something that anyone can develop, including you. It’s a skill that comes online through intention, energy work, and practice. In fact, clairsentience is often the first psychic ability to awaken, so you’re already in a great position to begin.

Let me guide you through some simple, practical steps to help you unlock your ability to feel energy—not just from crystals, but from the world around you.

How to Develop Clairsentience

1. Ask Your Spirit Guides for Help

Start by asking your spirit guides to open you up to the world of energy. Giving the spiritual world your permission is essential—nothing happens in the higher realms without your consent. Ask your guides to help you feel the energy of your crystals and the subtle vibrations all around you.

2. Get Attuned to Reiki (at Least Level One)

If you can, I highly recommend getting attuned to at least Level One Usui Reiki. Reiki is a beautiful, powerful energy system that connects you to universal life force energy, and it can fast-track your ability to feel energy in a real, tangible way.

3. Try This Taoist Energy Ball Exercise

Here’s a simple but powerful practice to help you feel energy in your hands:

• Rub your hands together until they feel warm.

• Hold your palms a few inches apart and imagine a glowing ball of energy between them. This can be golden, white, or any colour you like.

• Gently press your palms together and pull them apart, almost like you’re compressing and expanding the ball.

• Pay attention to any sensations—tingling, warmth, a magnetic pull, or resistance.

The more you practise, the stronger this sensation will become. It’s like building a muscle—the energy is already there, but your sensitivity strengthens over time.

4. Practise Feeling the Energy of Individual Crystals

Now it’s time to tune into the unique energy of each crystal you work with. Every crystal carries its own vibration, and learning to sense that is key to deepening your clairsentience.

Here’s a simple exercise:

• Hold your crystal in your left hand. The left side of the body is more receptive to energy, making it ideal for this work.

• Sit quietly, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.

• As you hold the crystal, tune into any sensations, emotions, or thoughts that arise.

  • You might feel a subtle warmth or tingling in your palm.

  • You may notice a shift in mood—feeling calmer, lighter, or more focused.

  • Perhaps a colour, word, or image comes into your mind’s eye.

Ask the crystal:

• What energy are you offering me?

• How can I best work with you?

• Is there a message you have for me?

Don’t overthink it. Even if it feels subtle or you think you’re imagining it, trust what comes through. Over time, your sensitivity will grow, and you’ll start to recognise the unique energy signatures of different crystals.

5. Open Your Third Eye

Your third eye (pineal gland) is the centre of psychic perception. Here’s a simple meditation to help activate it:

• Sit quietly, close your eyes, and breathe deeply.

• Visualise a liquid light—like golden honey or a luminous oil—pouring onto your pineal gland, dissolving any calcification.

• You can imagine gently squeezing the gland, hearing or feeling it crack, then peeling away any crust like a shell.

Trust your intuition—there’s no right or wrong way to do this. Your imagination is a powerful tool.

6. Learn Energetic Protection

As your psychic abilities grow, it’s essential to protect your energy. When you open up, you may attract attention from the spirit world—some energies are helpful, while others are not.

I don’t recommend visualising a white light radiating from your heart, as some teachings suggest. This can deplete your energy and leave your heart vulnerable as an access point.

Instead, imagine a column of pure white light flowing down from Source, surrounding you in a protective forcefield. Visualise any negativity bouncing off this shield and returning to sender.

You can send energy to the light for transmutation, but in my experience, return to sender is more effective. It teaches people (and spirits) to stop messing with you.

When I’m at home, I imagine the shield expanding outward, pushing out any low-vibration spirits and leaving only those who mean me well. Remember, you are in full control.

You can even imagine a light switch to turn your psychic abilities on or off, or a dimmer switch to adjust your sensitivity.
