Many people will carry a crystal in their pocket or bra, wear them as jewelry or set crystals around their home.  These are very easy ways to utilize crystals. All you need to do is select a crystal with the metaphysical properties you want or need, cleanse and charge it, then allow it to work it's magick. And if that is all you want to do, then it will be a great benefit to you.

However, if you have a specific intent in mind then you can "ask" the crystal to assist you in your intention. Although, the "asking" part is a bit more involved then just talking to the crystal. Usually an energy exchange will get the best results. To do this you want to center and ground your own energy and transfer some, with your intention, into the crystal. There are a couple different ways you can do this. If you are clairsentient then you can feel and direct your energy straight into the crystal. If you are not clairsentient you can either visualize your energy and focus it into the crystal. Following your intuition to determine when the process is complete. Or you can sit and meditate with the crystal you want to work with. You will want to meditate on your intent and the crystal will receive it through the energy of your meditation.

In addition, you can also ask the crystal with your voice too, if this will help you with the energy transfer process. , your voice has it's own vibration and energy and can be a great tool in magickal and spiritual workings.

For the best results, pick a crystal with similar metaphysical properties to what your intent is. If you are limited on the variety of crystals you have access to, you can not go wrong with a clear quartz. Clear Quartz can hold any intention as it is a "Master" stone and can amplify any other stone and all properties.

, after you have set your intention with the crystals you wish to use, you need to continue caring for them. To do this, keep them clean and charged, so that they can continue to aid you in your intent.
