It’s a new year! Make sure your going into it with a new energy then how you feel about the previous year.
#1 – Clear Out Last Year’s Karma to Make Room for Shiny, New Year’s Energy
We all do it… I do it, and you do it. You carry things from your past into the future. Sometimes these things are good, like happy memories, but other times, you carry around things that don’t serve you going forward, like unresolved emotions. The New Year is a great time to start with a clean slate, so taking some time to dump your baggage is the #1 way to clear and balance your energy for the new year.
Now that you’ve left your last year’s baggage in the past (where it belongs!), it’s time to cleanse your space of any energy that’s no longer serving your highest good. By allowing stagnant energy to linger in your environment, you’re inadvertently telling the Universe that you’re fine with outdated, dare I say, “Meh…” energy in your field. You need to clear this energy out of your space so that the Universe knows you’re ready for bigger and better things. Make way for positive vibes! You can do this by cleansing all your spaces with Sage or any kind of smudge bundle you feel guided to.

For example, you may choose Rose Quartz for self-love or attracting a new partner. You may like to create a life of prosperity and abundance, so get some Citrine.

The possibilities are endless and it's always a good idea to choose crystals and stones that you feel drawn to intuitively. You can even make a Grid!
Another ritual:
Crystals can be quickly and easily programmed with a specific intention or purpose.
For example, Rhodonite is a fantastic stone for new beginnings. To start a new routine in the new year, simply reach for a piece of Rhodonite and hold it in your hands.
Close your eyes and think about exactly what you’d like to do differently in the new year. Visualize it in great detail – is it a new yoga routine, a commitment to read a book per week, quitting a bad habit? See it as clearly as possible, as if you can see it playing like a movie in your mind’s eye.
Once you’ve been able to visualize this new routine, hold the crystal over your heart for a moment to show your gratitude to the stone. Your stone has now been imprinted, or programmed, with the information from your visualization.
