I am not a crystal expert but I cannot resist buying a new one on a regular basis when one leaps out at me or catches my eye at a crystal shop. I always cleanse a new crystal (see below) before using it. This includes gifts given to
me from family and friends. I like to then charge the crystal with a positive thought or purpose,by sending it my thoughts of how I would like it to help my family.
I tend to trust my instincts and wear or carry the type of crystal that I choose at that time for as long as I feel it is helping me.
I place crystals all over the house to help my family. I always keep my crystals that are not in use together,as they seem to like company.
I cleanse them on a regular basis of any negative energy that they have dispelled for me and taken on themselves.
There are various ways to do this:
- Leave under moonlight
- Cleanse in the sea (careful not to lose any)
- Soak in salt water (sea salt)
- Place on an amethyst crystal which is itself self cleansing and able to cleanse others
- Bury in the ground for a few weeks.
Here are a few that I use:
Quartz ALL TYPES –for exhaustion,boosting immunity and encouraging lymph flow.
This is the universal healing crystal as it receives,activates,stores,transmits and amplifies energies.
Agate –ALL VARYING COLOURS have specific areas of healing according to the stones colour and associated chakra –for all types of healing,gives strength.
Turquoise –for depression/blues and for peace of mind.
Citrine –for attracting abundance,good for self-esteem and detoxing.
Rose Quartz –for romance and love,sexual and emotional imbalance.
Hematite –for depression,mood swings and excellent for blood conditions.
Malachite –for matters of the heart (emotional and physical) and circulation. Good all round balancer.
Lapis Lazuli –for help in expressing feelings and communicating. Good for mental clarity.
Moonstone –for balancing of the female cycle.
Amber –for overall mental balance,soothing and harmonizing.
Amethyst –for dispelling negative energy,anxiety and fear. Good for protection.
Calcite –for strong bones and to increase capacity for joy.
Jade –for emotional balance,peace and nurturing.
The important thing to remember is that you do not need to spend a lot of money buying crystals. Markets are a good place to start or simply crystal / alternative health shops. Size is not necessarily a factor as the small polished
crystals are of just as much benefit if that is what your body chose. I found that once I began to show an interest in crystals then they seemed to come to me.
