This might help.....

Just a quick note, a crystal ball is a sacred tool and should be
treated as one. It should be used by only one person and be placed in
a special place of honor when not in use. It should have a name, it
will usually tell you this as you work with it, and it should be
called by that name. It should have limited handling by other people,
and should be carried in a special bag or box when transported from
one place to another. It should also be cleansed regularly. I like to
do mine on the full moon, not only cause that's when the moon is at
its peak of power, but cause its easy to remember when I last cleaned
it completely. With all that said here we go:

1. Choose your crystal ball that you intend to use; be sure to
cleanse it first.

2. In a darkened room, sit quietly with the crystal in front of you.
Allow for a low light source, so that the crystal is somewhat 'back
lit" yet the rest of the room should remain dark. A candle works well
be sure to follow safety rules when working with an open burning
flame. The color of the candle should be something that reflects
Higher Purpose like Purple for Higher self, White for God/dess and
Soul purity or orange for attraction (but be sure you say aloud that
you wish to only attract positive energies or you could get any
energy just floating by, I caution you on using orange if you are
only beginning).

3. Next close your eyes, concentrate and ground yourself. Allow your
third eye to activate and open. The use of Lemuria Oil tm is
recommended here as it clears misaligned energies and protects the
user (you) from negative energies trying to control the session and
such.
Place a dab on the 3rd eye area, located between your eyes and up
just a smig. Now be sure to set up a deep breathing pattern at your
own rhythm. Allowing all the stress and negative energies to flow
completely out of your body as you exhale, and positive energies to
enter as you inhale. "See" those positive energies replacing the
exhaled negative energies, visualize all the positive energies
completely centering your body and your intuition and focus becoming
the central points of your thoughts.

4. Now open your eyes, and pick a spot on the ball you feel "drawn"
to. Focus on the spot and allow your eyes to fixate (like when your
eyes get stuck looking at something but your mind (subconscious) is
elsewhere) gazes past that spot. The crystal may begin to darken and
smoke up. Allow this to happen, don't snap back to a conscious state,
if you can help it. Don't worry if you do, fact is most of us do the
first couple of times cause we are so excited its working. Snapping
back to the conscious state makes you leave the trance like state and
thus breaks the psychic connection. If this happens just reenter the
trance like state once more as best you can. Allow the ball to darken
and smoke without breaking your trance like state. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE
SENSE OF THE IMAGES YOU "SEE, FEEL OR HEAR" BEFORE YOU! Just go with
the flow!

5. You may feel yourself start to tingle or vibrate, you may feel
heat, cold or just detached from yourself. This is the crystal
raising or lowering your vibratory level so that you may both be one
in harmony and make the needed psychic connection.

6. Next you will begin to speak (a voice activated recorder is nice
at this point) or write about what you see. You have entered the
Astral plane at this point and may have some memory recall problems
when you break the trance like state. This may occur until you have
training and can work on both the Astral and physical plane at the
same time, and not to lie to you, this could take years of
concentration, practice, and many sessions! So don't give up and I
advise using a tape recorder as it doesn't interfere with your focus,
concentration, or gazing/scrying.

7. Finally when you feel you have seen enough, or the crystals images
fade out, allow your mind to return to the present (physical plane).
Feel your vibratory rate change once again as the crystal separates
from one to two separate beings again. Refocus your eyes; blink as
you need and breathe deeply, as you ground yourself once more.
Finally returning to the physical plane, with your mind cleared and
energized. In Grounding yourself, a drink of water/juice and a snack
can help, as you pull the earth's energies up into your body once
more.

Remember it takes practice so dont be upset if it doesn't work right
away. Take your time, allow the crystal and your energies to match,
it will work!
