Stones and Thier Properties
The healing powers of Crystals.
Crystals have been used for millennia to heal and bring balance. They work through resonance and vibration.
I have been a jewelry maker for over 10 years. The reason I began making jewelry was because I was a student of Gemstones, Crystals and natural healing and wanted a way to keep them on me at all times. Jewelry was the obvious option, therefore my journey as a jewelry maker began. Now, as a doula, I love to incorporate these two passions of mine in order to assist the mothers and fathers to be in their journey to parenthood.
Below is a partial list of crystals and gemstones I am familiar with working with. I am always open to making custom peices to suit your needs. If you are interested, please e mail me @ crowninglotus@yahoo.com
Crystal Cleansing: Crystals need to be cleansed when you buy them and after wearing or using for healing. Always cleanse jewelry that comes to you from someone else, as it can hold their negative vibrations and pass them onto you.
Crystals that are not friable or jointed can be held under running water or immersed in the sea or salt water. As you do so, hold the intention that all negativity will be washed away and the Crystal re energized.
placing a Crystal in the light of the sun or the moon for a few hours can also recharge it's batteries provided it is not a stone that fades in sunlight and care is taken not to focus the rays where they could start a fire.
Certain Crystals have the ability to cleanse other Crystals. Keep a Carnelian in a bag or jewelry box with your other crystals and you will never have to cleanse them using any other method.
You may smudge crystals or pass them through the light from a candle. You may also visualize them surrounded by light, which also purifies and reenergized them.
Programming your Crystal: Crystals need to be dedicated to the purpose for which you use them. Dedicate a new Crystal as soon as you have cleansed it. This focuses the energy.
Hold the Crystal in your hands and picture light surrounding it. Say out loud: "I dedicate this crystal to the highest good of all. May it be used in light and love."
To program your crystal, hold it. Let yourself be open to higher guidance. Consider the purpose for which you wish to use it. Be specific. If you want to attract love, express exactly what kind of love you wish to attract. If you seek healing, say precisely which condition and what you want to happen. When you have formulated your program, attune to the Crystal. Say out loud, "I program this Crystal for [your purpose]."
You may need to repeat the program several times. It helps to meditate with your Crystals and spend a lot of time with them.
*I have many books on Crystals and natural healing, but I have yet to find anything that can possibly rival The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall. Everything that you read here is information I have gathered from this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in using crystals for practical purposes but want a very comprehensive guide.*
