Healing Crystals 101

.

Looking to add something to your healing toolbox? Crystal's may just be the answer you're searching for. They have the power to balance, heal and change your life.

If you let them... 

CHOOSING YOUR CRYSTALS

First things first, feel the stones. Hold the crystal in your non-dominant hand. Let your intuition guide you towards your crystal.

Decide what your intentions are. Focus on manifesting a feeling or way of life you envision. A sense of calmness? Clarity about a part of your life? More confidence in your career? 

Choose the stone that brings you what you need. Although, many crystal healers believe, "you don't choose your crystal, the crystal chooses you.".

5 IDEAL WAYS TO CLEANSE YOUR CRYSTALS

-Sage smudging for 60 seconds per stone.
-Submerge in natural running water.
-Bury your stones underground for a full day.
-Place in the direct light of a full moon.
-Charge your crystal with other crystals

I have all three stones. My needs and my life change daily, as do my crystals. For those days that I need some self-love, I turn off the lights and light a candle. I lay silently on the floor, meditating with a rose quartz placed over my heart and for at least 10 minutes I just breathe. When I feel my thoughts wandering, I begin to repeat a mantra in my head - “You are loved and love is the foundation of all things.” I find that this practice clears built-up frustrations, anxiety and negative emotions from the day. Like a restart button, it’s a nice reboot and gives me a nice clean slate to begin again the next day.

Amethyst comes into play when I just am not feeling myself. When I am a little down, a tad anxious and just on edge. ( or when my daughters wake me up at the crack of dawn and I don't have time to make coffee... ) This stone relaxes me during these times and replaces my negative energy with positivity. I always keep amethyst in the shop to ensure that when you walk in, you're greeted with a smile (regardless if I had my coffee yet). 

Oh black tourmaline, how you bring clarity to my life. You have guided me towards understanding myself more than I could ever imagine. You have protected me from my worries and doubts and have guided me through confusion. Mediating with this stone has made me feel in tune with myself, body and mind. Speaking of meditating with this stone...that's where i'll be for the next 30 minutes or so...

My question I will leave you with is, what do you need today?
