Healing with Crystals & Gemstones
"Crystals are living beings at the beginning of creation." - Nikola Tesla
Okay, I admit I am a TINY bit obsessed about crystals and gemstones! How can you blame me? These natural gifts from the earth are not only gorgeous to look at, but are considered to have wonderful energetic properties to raise our vibrations for emotional and physical balance and well-being.
I use crystals and gemstones in energy healing as well as in my daily life. While I was working in the corporate world, there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't have a calming sodalite, a positive charoite or a grounding obsidian gemstone in my pocket or purse.
I always keep a line-up of stones next to my computer screen that are excellent at neutralizing EMFs, including fluorite, amazonite, malachite and black tourmaline.
There are many ways to use crystals and gemstones. You can make gemstone elixirs, gemstone grids and more.
Crystals are also known for balancing individual chakras. While lying down, lay them on top of each of the major chakra points, including above the head and below the feet. You can also set them in an arc or circle pattern around the body. In my energy work, I often put a crystal or gemstone underneath the chair or table, or ask my client to hold a gemstone in each hand during the healing session. This is a lovely way to enhance your client's energetic experience.
Pendants made with healing stones are also a wonderful way to enhance our energy, as well as having a lovely piece of jewelry to wear, and they make a very special gift for someone you love. Click here to see the available pendants at The Store.

I'm sure for those of you who have never used crystals, this all might sound a bit mystifying. The good news is that working with crystals and gemstones is not difficult at all. I recommend a trip to your local crystal shop. If there isn't a crystal shop in your area, there are many Gem and Mineral shows that travel to city centers. A quick online search will usually pull up a lot of options.
Tucson, Arizona hosts a large annual gemstone event that is always a blast! You can find terrific bargains and gorgeous unusual stones from all over the world.
When you shop, take your time and see which stones look interesting to you. Gemstones have many properties, and I've found that people tend to gravitate to the ones that have attributes that correspond to something they may be wanting or needing.
Here are some of my favorite gemstones and their healing properties. These stones are usually easy to find in your local crystal shop:
Grounding: Hematite, Black Tourmaline, Onyx, Jasper
Healing: Malachite, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Fluorite, Serpentine
Protecting: Smoky Quartz, Tigers Eye, Carnelian, Kyanite
Connecting to Guidance: Clear Quartz, Selenite, Labradorite, Angelite
Pro tip: Put each stone in the palm of your hand one at a time and see if you can feel the vibration. It may feel strong or subtle, but it always surprises people how different each stone feels. You may also find that the prettiest stones may not necessarily have the most "power" for you. Trust your intuition!
