Choose Your Stones Wisely
Crystals contain unique energies and vibrations that can have profound impacts on our lives in various ways. From amplifying intuition, strengthening relationships and increasing wealth to helping achieve your intentions more quickly – choosing your stones carefully can help bring them all to fruition.
Certain crystals, like Carnelian and Pyrite/Citrine can increase energy levels while others such as Pyrite/Citrine can enhance productivity. When combined together they can form a crystal grid in your Southwest quadrant of your home–the wealth and abundance sector.
To maximize the positive energy of gemstones, they should be cleansed regularly. One effective method is laying them on selenite which has the power to absorb and restore energy from them. Another approach involves immersing your stones in salt water for several days by simply placing your stone into a bowl of water mixed with rock salt, sea salt or table salt and leaving it there for several days before rinsing it off and patting dry afterwards.
Cleanse Your Stones Regularly
Crystals absorb negative energies, so it is necessary to cleanse them regularly so they can function at full capacity again and deepen your connection to them by creating a small ritual of caring.
Water can help neutralize energy and cleanse stones effectively. Running water, such as that found in a stream, is ideal for this task; however, bowls of warm water will do just as well. When cleaning soft, porous and/or stones with trace metals such as selenite, angelite malachite and calcite stones such as these use caution as moisture may damage their surface and compromise their integrity.
Exhaling on the stone in short, strong bursts is also an effective technique, particularly for smaller clearing stones such as apophyllite and carnelian, or cleansing larger stones like smoky quartz, hematite or kyanite.
Place Your Stones in a Special Place
Crystal healing stones may help to realign your chakras by increasing spiritual energy. Chakras are seven energy centers throughout your body from your spine to your head and should function optimally.
The root chakra, identified by its color red, resides in the lower abdomen and symbolizes love, trust and self-worth. If this energy becomes blocked it may manifest as back problems and digestive issues; rose quartz or hematite stones can help unblock it and heal this chakra.
Crystals for the throat chakra are essential tools for seers, sages and public speakers. Lapis lazuli enhances both eloquence and truthfulness while keeping this chakra healthy by relieving throat irritations and thyroid disorders.
The solar plexus, often represented by yellow hues, resides in the upper abdomen and represents purpose and self-esteem. Tiger’s Eye or Carnelian can help heal this chakra; Carnelian supports trustworthiness and creativity so is an excellent addition to Spongelle’s Cosmic Lavender Spiritual Detox Buffer.
Wear Your Stones
When choosing stones for yourself, select those based on how they feel and appear to you. When possible, examine them directly and hold them in your hand – this will give an accurate sense of each stone’s energy.
Lapis lazuli, an opaque cobalt blue stone speckled with golden dots, promotes spiritual development and strengthens intuition. Associated with the throat chakra, lapis lazuli helps people express themselves freely while breaking through communication barriers to communicate freely with one another.
Tiger’s Eye promotes self-confidence, courage and overcoming past traumas while providing you with organization skills to reduce procrastination. Black Obsidian is an empowering stone which helps release fear, stress and anger, clearing your root chakra for vitality and renewed strength. Amethyst crystal‘s soothing lavender hues bring balance to life by alleviating physical and emotional discomfort while being one of the world’s best-known healing crystals; additionally it balances and purifies your aura.
