Healing Stones and Gemstones -Tuesday, May 29, 2018
For thousands of years, ancient civilizations have used the power of crystals to release mental, physical and spiritual blockages. On a cellular level, our bodies and quartz crystal are both made up of mineral silicon-dioxide, because of this, we are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals as they transmit, reflect, store light and receive energy. When crystals are placed directly on your body, they have a powerful vibration effect that surges from the crystal to you. According to the law of physics, thoughts direct energy and energy follows thought.
Amazonite
If your mind is polluted with toxic negativity, clean it up with Amazonite. This stone will restore your spirit to its most serene state of being by eliminating your worries, self-doubts, and frustrations. Often, pain that we experienced in our past will create an energy block in our present. This block can manifest into a difficulty expressing yourself in relationships, or even into creative slumps at work. By flooding your heart and throat chakras with loving energy, amazonite opens you up to release that which has hurt you. Free of those energy blocks, you better express yourself in every area of life. That’s what makes this stone highly beneficial for artists.
Amethyst
Amethyst is like a spa-day in a stone, it is the exact kind of relaxing energy that we could all use after a long day. Allow amethyst’s energy of contentment to sooth away the day-to-day stresses that keep you up at night. In working with the third eye and crown chakras, Amethyst indulges your intuitions. This not only means that amethyst will help your body give into innate desires like sound sleep and relaxation, but it will also work with your third eye to balance the mind with insightful solutions to problems.
Apatite
Your appetite for life, creative endeavors, and passionate pursuits will feel nearly insatiable when overwhelmed by the exhilarating energy of Apatite. Working with the energy of this crystal helps you to not only recognize your ambitions but chase after them with a newfound vigor. Let the inspiration this stirs within you, find new creative outlets.
Aquamarine
Use Aquamarine to ride the positive waves toward closure, major life changes, and a higher consciousness. The stress and fear that this stone washes away, leaves room peace and tranquility in their absence. Aquamarine protects the psyche from taking on dark vibrations and negative behavioral patterns. Easy is the essence of the smooth flowing energy of aquamarine.
Carnelian
Carnelian is the life of the party. Creative and confident, the energy of carnelian motivates a rush of vibrancy within the sacral chakra to stimulate your inner star.

Wear carnelian during a job interview to invoke the energies of opportunity and luck. With carnelian close, you’ll be sure to impress your prospects with your charm and vitality.
Citrine
Derived from the French word “citron” meaning lemon, this crystal’s vibe is anything but sour! Sweet is the essence of this fortune flourishing gem. The sunny attitude of citrine cultivates energy that is fertile for growth. In working with the solar plexus chakra, citrine warms the core to radiate power, centeredness, confidence, and endurance throughout the body and mind. Citrine is unique because it is one of few stones that, rather than absorbing negative energy, clear it. It makes room for happiness and light so that the spirit is welcoming to a wide range of positive possibilities.
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz maybe a rock star among crystals, but it’s no diva—it shares its spotlight. For those whose spirit needs illumination, clear quartz brings clarity to shadows within the mind. The reason there is so much lore surrounding the Clear Quartz is that of how intensely it resonates with the body. A universal healer, it links to all chakras to provide balance and harmony. Its ability to be programmed for manifestation is unlike any other crystal. By elevating thoughts and perspective, it will help manifest your intentions like never before.
Garnet
Not all energy has to come in a Venti-sized cup; reenergize the crystal way with garnet, and you’ll have all of the vitality without the impending crash. By arousing the chi, or life force, within the physical body, garnet encourages you to go out and smell roses. Seize the day and all of your potential with help of this stone for enhancing health, passion, and pleasure.
Hematite
Hematite tells it like it is. If you’re spinning out of control or spending all your time going over things in your mind on constant replay, hematite is going to give you a reality check. It brings you out of your mind and backs down to earth. Hematite’s energy focuses on the body, and it teaches us to do the same. Rather than overanalyzing due to stress or anxiety, use hematite to connect to your root chakra so that you can stay grounded and just be.
Jade
Jade is like that outfit you wear on first dates or that necklace you wear on job interviews—it always brings good luck. Through awakening a new outlook in the third eye chakra, Jade opens you up to prosperity and abundance.

Lending you strength of mind, Onyx will help you to see what is weighing you down and release it from your life.

If you’re prone to holding in frustrations or resentments, working with rutilated quartz may be just the energy you need to forgive and let go. While supportive, the energy of rutilated quartz will force you to bring issues to the surface so that they can be dealt with. That may sound intimidating, but rutilated quartz’s ability to help you better deal with conflicts also relieves the fear and anxiety you may have going into them.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz isn’t the kind of energy that’s going to let you sit in a dark, stuffy room and pout.

This crystal helps you to see through a fresh set of eyes so that you can gain clarity on situations that have become blurry or confusing.

An aspect to yourself that you haven’t indulged? Tiger’s eye connects to the solar plexus and sacral chakras to ground you in the power you need to pursue those ventures.
Tourmalinated Quartz
