Kyanite - Stone of Awareness

I work up one morning feeling like I needed to buy some crystals and herbs.  I had no clue as to which ones but felt strongly about going to my spot that I got to for herbs and crystals. So I am standing in the store like ok now what? Spirit you got me out of my bed on a Sunday, so lets get it started. I started walking around like a zombie. Like I was being guided when I found myself in front of their small selection of crystals. I scanned over their selection and thought, ok, well I have all of these but yet I did not move. So I scanned again. I had been hearing Kyanite in my head for a few days but it didn’t dawn on me that’s what I was there for. I looked down and there was basket full of Kyanite. So I got me one, and a few herbs and I was on my way. I knew that I was hearing this crystal but had no clue what it did. There are literally hundreds of crystals out there. I don’t know all of them.  

So when I looked up Kyanite, here is what it had to say. “Kyanite can aid you when dialoging with the physical body in meditation. Kyanite’s life-force energy can open the way for spiritual healing of the body and also make it easier to make healthy life style changes. Kyanite works well with the crown and third eye chakras and its focus is spiritual expansion.” Ok, now I get it. I had also been talking about getting back into my yoga, cutting out the chocolate completely and a few other things health wise. Spirit was nudging me on to make those changes. I don't always understand when Spirit tells me to do things, I just do them. It may come to me later, as it did in this instance. Change was necessary.

Love Thy Heart

Many people take the heart for granted. When it comes to “matters of the heart”, the heart is affected physically. The heart is in the center of the chest, which anchors the life-force from the Higher Self.  The heart is governed by the Heart Chakra. The color of the heart chakra is green and generally all green gemstones will work to help balance it. Some red stones work and pink stones will also help balance the heart chakra. My favorite heart chakra stone is Rose Quartz. Its very gentle and loving. 

Since the heart chakra is in the center of the chest, it holds together the rest of the chakras. When the heart is unbalanced, the other chakras are unbalanced. When working with clients who complain of heart related issues, I often ask about their relationships. The heart chakra deals with love, empathy and relationships; relationships with self, relationships with others. When caring for the heart, one should keep in mind all aspects of heart health. Whitethorn, thyme and Melissa are excellent herbs for heart health.

Garnet: The Blood Stone

Every year I began with a fast. Last year I added a specific crystal healing to my fast using Garnet gemstones.  “Garnet comes from the word Granatum, which refers to the seed of a pomegranate. Garnet is a root chakra stone and provides a sense of rootedness for facilitating tasks.” Since it is an Earth element stone, it also provides grounding energy. They are conductors of past-life memories and are memory sharpeners. Garnets promote compassion of the world and self and help a person to let go. I use them on my root chakra to help stay grounded. Garnets also assist the liver and kidneys in ridding the body of toxins.

Dragon Stone - South African Crystal

I was in the store the other day purchasing crystals for my Beginning Crystal's Workshop, when I came across this stone called South African Dragon Stone. This stone is not that attractive however it was calling me. When I looked up the meaning, here is what it said:

"Dragon Stone is a newly discovered green and red Jasper from South Africa. Fire energy; Protective stone, used for wealth, long life, brings intellect to new heights, protects the fields of the physical, emotional and mental bodies."  It has been said that the best way of breaking an old habit is to introduce a new one. Well no secret there why this stone was calling me. Some other useful information about this stone: "Emotionally, Dragon Stones helps one develop self-confidence, a stronger will, an open expression of feeling and affection, a willingness to help others for the greater good, and the persistence required to make real and effective change.

Physically, it seems to aid endurance, and to inspire one to work hard to be well. This includes diet and exercise regimes for getting in shape. It also feels to me that it can aid those who are working to repattern one's cellular habits for regeneration and rejuvenation, all the way down to the DNA. The twisting, snakelike DNA molecule is, after all, something of a Dragon itself!

Spiritually, Dragon Stone can inspire one to place one's self-serving tendencies into service of the well-being of the world. Yet it does not make one into a weak rule-follower. Rather, it encourages fierceness and loyalty to what seems in one's heart to be the Good, and it teaches one to protect and defend that Good with a power and strength one may never have known one even had! A dragon is not a domesticated animal. It is a wild, sentient journeyer among many realms––an excellent ally and a worthy opponent. To carry Dragon Stone is to invite such qualities into oneself."

Gemstone and crystal healing has been around for ages. Their energies are some of the best healers.

Hematite Gemstone

Hematite is one of my favorite gemstones to use for healing. It's focus is on clearing and building. It is a very grounding stone and looks much like a solid piece of mercury. Hematite helps remove emotional pain and can balance mood swings to assist you in broadening your perspectives. Dissolves negativity and prevents you from absorbing the negativity of others. It works on the root chakra and heals issues of the blood. Hematite stimulates iron absorption in the small intestine, which in turn improves oxygen supply to the body. It has the fire element and is associated with Saturn and is a stone of Aries and Aquarius, but is assigned to Scorpio, whom it not only protects but also warns of danger by changing temperature.

Calming Crystal Healing

I went to the Nature and Healing Expo the other day. I had one thing on my mind. To buy this wonderful crystal. I had no idea why or even what it was called. I knew I had to get it. I remember last year, I was drawn to this table that had them. I kept going back and picking it up. I wanted to buy it but I had a list and a budget that I was working from. So, I left my crystal behind.

This year, I was getting my crystal. I could have gotten it before hand but didn't remember and the urge wasn't as strong. The crystal is called Celestite. It's a beautiful light blue. It's a cluster (not the egg that you see here) and the crystals in it remind me of the cave that Superman went to when he went to talk to his parents. I purchased my crystal, brought it home, cleaned it and sat it in the window sill to get some sunlight. The next day I woke up very agitated. Kind of antsy. Not real sure why. So I picked up my crystal and instantly felt calmed. I sat there for a few minutes with my crystal in hand and felt so relaxed.

I wasn't sure why I needed to buy this crystal. I felt antsy and disconnected for a few days but I thought it was because of the new opportunities I was embarking on. I looked up the meaning of my new crystal and found the meaning to resonate with a few things I was going through. "Celestite clears left brain chatter so you can connect with your Higher Guidance." Well, there you have it folks. That is why spirit had guided me to this crystal. My brain has been chit chattin away for some time now that I felt unfocused. Haven't been meditating. Yeah I know, shame on me. When I am not focused, spirit and I cannot connect. Good job spirit for getting us back together. Celestite has calming effects that relaxes and empties your mind, for rest, meditation, or when you need a break from mental concentration." That was me. I love sitting with this crystal early in the morning when everyone else is asleep. Just me, a cup of tea and my celestite crystal before getting my day started.

Crystals heal on so many levels. It only takes a few minutes a day to enjoy the benefits that crystals provide. Want a crystal healing or a consultation to see which crystals are right for you?

Emotional Baggage

I received an email from one of the psychology organizations that I belong to regarding a course on how to help get rid of "Emotional Baggage." It got me to thinking about some emotional baggage I was carrying around several years ago and how I got rid of it.

Years ago, I was told I had to go to anger management if I wanted to keep my housing. Well since you put it that way, I guess I had no choice BUT to go. After a couple of sessions with the therapist, she says, I think you need Prozac and I want to refer you to a psychiatrist. HUH?? Where did that come from? On what basis do you have to recommend me to a shrink? There were no tests involved and the questions were vague at best for her to come to that conclusion. As I was thinking of my topic to blog about today, I saw on my time line that Deepak Chopra had tweeted about Michael Jackson's death. He said "the doctor's are the real pushers and cause for addiction." I thought.. WHOA. So I must be on track to discuss this. As I read more, he went on to say how doctors are so quick to prescribe something. Which brings me back to my point.

Emotional baggage does not always require drugs. Yes, I get that some people need to talk it out and perhaps get a better perspective on some things that happened in the past to move forward but still there are ways to do that without drugs. I told my therapist that I was good, and did not want the drugs. I continued my sessions with her for little while longer. However in retrospect, I was telling her the same things I was telling my girlfriends and wasn't getting anywhere with any of them. To me, talking about it and talking about it was just reliving the pain. She didn't give me any goals or things to move me forward. Just talking about the same things over again. I eventually worked through my issues on my own through holistic means. It was a lot harder for me on my own but an experience that I can write about. Through the use of herbs, prayer, meditation, essential oils, crystal healing and body work therapy such as Reiki, I was able to free myself of some limited beliefs, other people's assumptions that I had picked up a long the way and some other Gremlins that followed me through my life. I am not suggesting that holistic medicine is the cure all to end all, but it does help. You can use holistic medicine in conjunction with anything conventional that you are currently doing. Releasing emotional baggage is a process. It can take days, weeks, months or even years to get through some of the issues you have been carrying around for years. However, it can go a lot quicker using a holistic approach. For an issue that may have taken me years to get through using conventional methods, may have taken a year using ALL means available to me.
