Setting intentions with carnelian is a straightforward process. First, find a quiet space and take a few deep breaths to relax your mind and body. Hold your carnelian crystal in your hand and focus on your intention, such as increasing creativity or building self-confidence. Visualize your goal clearly, and then repeat a chosen carnelian affirmation, either silently or aloud, while maintaining your focus on your intention. You can do this daily or whenever you need to align your energy with your goals.
