The voices you hear and the visions you see when you go inside to access your intuition are a part of you.  They reflect the understanding you have gained from everything that you have experienced in your life.  Quieting your everyday mind creates the space for the deep wisdom of your mind to provide inspiration and guidance.  Using a crystal sphere as a focus point is a time-honored method of accessing this wisdom.
For this exercise you will need a sphere of clear quartz, obsidian or smoky quartz and a small white candle.
(1) Light the candle and dim the lights in the room.  Hold the crystal sphere in your cupped hands for several moments and focus on your breathing until you feel relaxed and centered.
(2) As you hold the sphere, clarify your intention.  For instance, if you are seeking the answer to a question, state it in words.  If you are seeking guidance about a situation, phrase what you wish to know in a clear, positive, open-ended way.
(3) Place the sphere in front of you with the burning candle behind it.
(4) Gaze at the crystal with half-closed eyes and allow images to form in your mind and on the sphere.  Follow any images that appear until you have learned everything that you can.
(5) When you feel the process is complete, acknowledge what you have discovered as the deep wisdom of your own intuition.
(6) Wrap the crystal sphere in a cloth and blow out the candle.  Source: Crystal Basics by Brenda Rosen.
