The Magic of Crystals.
Crystals are all around us and they have been used for many years for things like meditation and healing. Many ancient cultures believed that you could use crystals to remove negative energy while also promoting positive energy. They also believed crystals are made of different components that reacts differently to our bodies and emotions. There are many crystals that can be used for many things and in this blog I will tell you what some of my favorite crystals are and how they can help you in your everyday life.
If you are anything like me, you hate medicine. There's something about swallowing a mysterious pill without knowing any of the components. It's seriously creeps me out. Just like our ancestors from long ago, I've developed the habit of replacing some of those medical practices with crystals. Just to be clear, if you have a serious health condition don't stop using the medicines that your doctor proscribed. Crystals are not scientifically approved for fighting major health issues, they are there to help you in your healing journey. Here are some of my favorite health based crystals and what they are used for.
Amethyst
If you haven't seen or touched amethyst yourself you've definitely heard of it before. This beautiful violet crystal is packed with powerful energy. If you are like me who deals with depression, stress and anxiety, this crystal will become your best friend. Amethyst happens to be a healing and purifying stone. It also also helps with enhancing willpower. That means a person who has anxiety can use it to refocus and clear the mind, while also giving you the extra confidence boost you need to get things done. Some people even claim that Amethyst can help with enhancing the immune system, improving endocrine function, improving the skins appearance, promoting digestive health, reducing headaches and regulating hormones. Although these are just claims, Ayurvedic medicine practitioners, crystal healers, reiki practitioners and spiritual healers have been using amethyst for centuries.
I don't know about you but I love, love. I am a true hopeless romantic and I am proud to admit it. Some of the most beautiful crystals are dedicated to love and the emotions behind it, like losing love, gaining love, self love, or loving someone else. Love based crystals are used by spiritual people everyday. Here are some of my love based crystals.
Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is one of the most popular crystals for attracting love and boosting feelings of self love. This quartz crystal comes from Japan, Madagascar, Brazil and the USA. The rose quartz crystal has pale pink coloring and a translucent transparency that literally makes it the spokesperson for love. Rose quartz crystals are attached to the heart and the throat chakra, this means that it can help with matters of the heart. It also helps when it comes to the relationship with yourself. Let's face it, we all have our moments where we feel that we arent pretty enough or good enough. The rose quartz is the crystal you use when you need that extra boost of self love. One of the most amazing rose quartz healing properties is its ability to crack open the heart and put it back into alignment. So tap into the essence of goddess Aphrodite and let the rose quartz crystal connect you to your Devine femininity.
Some of my other favorite crystals and their properties are;
Moonstones - Encourages inner growth, soothes feelings of stress, promote positive thinking, helps you move on successfully and promotes success and good fortune.
Obsidian - Removes emotional blockages, promotes strength, clarity, compassion and shields against physical and emotional negativity.
Lapis Lazuli - Increase self knowledge, helps with depression, encourages self expression and gives you inner wisdom.
Crystals can truly play a factor in your everyday life if you open your mind and spirit. They are a powerful gift to mankind given to us by mother Gaia (earth). These earth stones connects us to our inner power and gives us protection. Don’t deny yourself of all the energy they posses. Even if you are a sceptic, start by leaving an amethyst crystal under your pillow for added protection or even a small aventurine crystal in your purse for good luck. You don’t have to rush into it. The universe provides us with these tools to guide us while we are in this life. It’s time to start taking advantage of our natural powers.
