~Crystals and Stones~

Crystals and stones have been used since the dawn of man on this planet for healing, protection, manifesting, decorating and adorning. For centuries crystals, gems, and semi precious stones have been worn by royalty, high ranking religious figures, and the wealthy, not only to display their social status, but also to protect them from harm, and increase their abundance. The ancient civilization of Atlantis is thought to have used crystals for healing and for drawing source energy to manifest plentiful crops by controlling the weather. Today many energy healers and medical doctors use crystals for healing. Crystals are used in lasers for surgeries, and used to amplify the healing energy of Reiki and all types of energy healing modalities.

Crystals and stones are found everywhere in the world, and come in many different of shapes and colors. Some individuals are highly attuned to, or sensitive to the energy of minerals and stones. They are drawn to them by their powerful vibration, abilities to protect,  amplify,  transform, and  transmute the energies around them. I have collected stones since I was a  little girl. Most of my warm weather days were spent searching for stones and crystals by my parents home. I loved them so much, I was constantly coming home with my arms and pockets filled with them. Now I have a rather large collection in my home. They help to keep the energy in my living environment at high and balanced state. I use them for healing, to amplify my psychic abilities, for meditation, and to support my energy field while I work. They are so beautiful and precious to me and most of the stones that I own have come to be in my possession because they literally called to me. I am especially attuned to their frequency and can hear them “humming” or “singing” to me.

Here is a short list of just some of my favorite stones that I use in my healing therapies:

Clear quartz – Amplifies energy, attunes energy to spiritual purpose and enhances metaphysical abilities.

Rose quartz – Great emotional healer, and opens the heart to unconditional love for all life.

Amethyst – Purifies the aura, encourages selflessness and spiritual wisdom.

Calcite – Calms the mind and balances the emotions.

Fluorite – Draws off negative energy and relieves stress.

Lapis – A multidimensional healer, lapis releases us from all emotional bondage, and heightens clairvoyance.

Selenite – Supports connections to angelic realms, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere and promotes mental clarity.

Labradorite – Helps to strengthen those going through transition. Heightens awareness and releases fear.

Malachite – Great stone of protection. Powerful cleanser of emotional damage from childhood and past lives.

If you are interested in collecting some stones and crystals for yourself, the best way to choose is to hold a stone that draws your attention in your left hand, allowing yourself to feel the energy of the stone. If it makes you feel peaceful and happy, then it is a good stone for you. Make sure that you take the time to learn about all the qualities of your stones and how to properly cleanse and charge them.

Stones and crystals are gifts of the earth. I encourage everyone to have the adventure starting a collection of their own!

Healing Power Of Sound.

Did you know that sound vibrations hold the power to heal? Everything in all the universe vibrates. We and everything that surrounds us is in the constant state of vibration. Trees, rocks, the chair you are sitting on, the computer in front of you and your body are all vibrating right now! It is truly amazing how all the delicate, little bones and pieces of the inner ear works as tiny receptors for translating sound vibrations.

Sound really does move us, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Sonic vibration has been used since the dawn of man to heal. Some of the first forms used were drumming and chanting. Ancient cultures recognized the healing power of sound and developed it into a sacred science. This has been documented back to Ancient Egypt and thought to have  been a highly developed practice for healing and spiritual rituals used in the Ancient city of Atlantis.

Many healers still use sound as a form of healing today. Some of the current methods use bells, chimes, crystal singing bowls, drums, tuning forks and, of course, music. Certain tones and musical notes actually correspond to and connect with each of the seven chakras. Using sound therapy can help to clear energy blockages in our subtle energy systems and also affects our brain waves, helping the body and all it’s systems to return to a balanced and harmonious state of being.

So the next time you turn the volume up for a song that just makes you feel good…you are actually performing your own self healing!
