Best Crystals to Have in Your Crystal Healing Kit

Although we recommend you seek medical guidance for prolonged or severe pain or discomfort, we recommend the below healing stones as part of your home crystal healing kit. Each one has a unique, everyday healing property that is you will be glad to have at your fingertips as life’s little crises arise.

Emerald

Emerald, the precious birthstone for May, is said to enhance your ability to live life to the full and with several notable healing powers, this is an essential stone for your healing kit.

It has the ability to help fight off infection, ease rheumatic disorder and detoxify the liver. Emerald can also enhance memory and if worn as a ring on the small finger of the left hand, this gem will also soothe sore eyes.

Emerald is very balancing and is reputed to help us to recover from dramatic upheavals in our lives. It is said to bestow harmony, unity and cooperation.

Amethyst

A member of the Quartz family, this beautiful purple gem is useful for those who lead a stressful work or life balance.

February’s birthstone is known to alleviate many conditions of the mind such as a headache or depression; it does this by helping you to relax. For this reason, Amethyst can also assist in overcoming dependency on chemical substances, such as smoking.

Healing amethyst can be used to release tension and relieve physical and emotional pain, even combating addictions.

Sunstone & Moonstone

These two stones are symbolically linked, and if carried together they will bring the protection of Sunstone into harmony with the peace of Moonstone.

By placing a sunstone in front of a white candle, you will spread protective energy, promote self healing, increase energy levels and improve organ functionality.

Wearing moonstone as a pendent is the most effective, and peaks during a full moon. It eases emotional stress and brings tranquillity to the wearer.

Citrine

A cousin of Amethyst, Citrine has many distinct healing properties and is particularly effective in conjunction with meditation and yoga, either by holding it in your palm or in contact with the body somewhere.

Citrine will assist with pain reduction with digestive or urinal ailments. If this stunning crystal is kept under a pillow, it will help you sleep sound by eliminating any nightmares you may have.

This crystal is also believed to raise one’s self-esteem, combatting tendencies toward self-destruction. Citrine is good for overall emotional well-being.

Bloodstone

The green, red spotted bloodstone is considered throughout history to represent the blood of Christ falling onto the green earth.

Aptly, it is a stone that aids circulation, reduces blood clots and can stop a nosebleed. The stone’s effects are said to be most effective when you lie on your stomach, with the stone on your back.

Bloodstone is calming and aids self-protection. In some crystal healing systems it is also considered a fertility aid.

Lapis Lazuli

Mined for over 4000 years, this powerful stone is one of the highest prized in Egypt, even appearing on the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun.

It’s healing properties relate to the sinus channels of the body, reducing lymph node swelling and boosting the endocrine system. For these reasons, Lapis Lazuli is great for treating throat and ear pain and infections.

Heated in warm water or sunlight, and gently rubbed across skin, Lapis Lazuli will also help to heal sties, insect bites and bruising.

The Higher Powers of Celestite

With the soft hue of a clear morning sky, celestite definitely lives up to its name. It is a mineral that is found worldwide; many pale blue specimens are found in Madagascar. Celestite is the principal source of the element strontium, commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys.

Celestite & Crystal Healing

Said to align with the higher realms, celestite is reputed to attune to the higher realms whilst simultaneously keeping you grounded. It is among the Celestial Communication Stones, along with moonstone and blue calcite. It is also said to be good for calming those with a fear of heights or of air travel.

You will find celestite crystals in some geodes. The world’s largest geode is a celestite geode that measured 35 feet in diameter at its widest point. It is located near the village of Put-in-Bay, Ohio, on South Bass Island in Lake Erie.

CrystalAge has a shimmering selection of carefully selected celestite specimens that will stun you with their soft blue multi-faceted surfaces. To help you achieve peace of mind or to align with higher states of consciousness, celestite is an excellent addition to any collection. It is also used in crystal healing.

Celestite Crystal Gifts

The Celestite 8cm Crystal Cluster is regarded as one of the best crystals for aligning with higher states of consciousness – excellent to have in your meditation room or at your beside when you want to achieve those higher states of mind. The relaxing icy-blue of this stunning cluster makes for a beautiful crystal in its own right, ideal for home décor or an inspiring gift.

The Celestite Gift Box is a superb way to introduce celestite to a friend or loved one. Aligned with the higher chakras, celestite is said to exude tranquil vibrations which create a calming atmosphere in any space. Perfect for the office or any high-stress environment, this specimen is presented in a handsome matte black gift box with black satin interior.

Appreciate the calming blue beauty of celestite with the Celestite Tumble Stones. These tumble stones are a smoothened version of the multi-faceted celestite crystal.

Black Tourmaline & Crystal Healing

Black Tourmaline is harvested in locations like the Himalayan mine in California and is renowned for its use in crystal healing. It is a fantastic gem to have with you as it is said to dispel negativity. Some people like to hold it when they are feeling angry or upset, believing that it absorbs and transmutes those negative emotions into positivity.

Uses for Black Tourmaline

As stated in our Crystals For The Home blog, Black Tourmaline is often used around computers, flat screen TVs, microwaves – anything that emits EMF (electromagnetic radiation). Many people like to attach small pieces of Black Tourmaline to their mobile phones as it is believed to disperse the EMF that these types of phones give off and receive. Fans of Black Tourmaline find the stone to be clearing and grounding. Exposure to too much EMF can lead to headaches, disorientation and nausea, which is why having this handy crystal nearby is a good idea.

Reiki and massage therapists have found Black Tourmaline useful. After performing Reiki healing or a massage on a client, many practitioners say they feel drained because they are picking up energy from the client. Their solution is to hold a piece of Black Tourmaline crystal after a Reiki or massage session and allow any unwanted energies to be deflected away by the crystal.

If you reside in the home of a negative person, or have a negative room-mate, protect yourself with Black Tourmaline from unwanted energy by having these wonderful clearing crystals near you.

The Colourful Tourmaline Family!

Black Tourmaline is the most common colour of the tourmaline crystals. Other colours more rare, such as empowering brown tourmaline, calming pink tourmaline and mood-lifting green tourmaline, each has its own chakra alignment and crystal healing attributes. Often known as the ‘Stone of Wisdom’, tourmaline is said to promote peace, understanding and balance. Make tourmaline part of your collection today!

Crystals & Feng Shui Home Tips Part 2 of 2

The art of Feng Shui is an ancient one. People have looked to it to adjust the flow of energies within their home and often practice it in conjunction with healing crystals. Crystals are well regarded as having direct effects on positive and negative energies. In the previous blog we talked about the importance of keeping energies flowing freely and ensuring that positive energies are strong within the home using crystals such as clear quartz to bring balance.

PROTECTION

Feng Shui and crystals can also help create protective barriers against negativity. In these times of high stress, many people find themselves feeling that they are constantly under pressure. Like the increasing number of people who turn to crystals for positive energy, you too can try crystals to protect you from the negativity that surrounds us. Black crystals work especially well for this, as they are very grounding and are said to keep you from feeling vulnerable but you could also consider other black crystals such as smoky quartz, obsidian, and jet.

In today’s high-tech age where personal computers and mobile phones are everywhere, there now exists the ever-present danger of electromagnetic radiation (EMF). There is far more EMF in our modern world than the body is used to taking in. Crystal users often look to rose quartz as well as rutilated (or ‘Angel Hair’) quartz to have near to the PC, television set, or mobile phone. Janelle Scialla, a Master Crystal Practitioner and host of an insightful programme of videos on the subject of crystal healing, prefers to use black tourmaline and has stated ‘I have tested black tourmaline with an EMF reader. I can see that there’s a difference between the EMF reading when I’m holding it between the reader and the computer.’ Another popular choice is black tourmaline with mica, whose silvery shine is believed to reflect away negative energy.

ENHANCE THE ENERGY IN YOUR HOME

Advocates of Feng Shui say that even the flushing of a toilet or draining of a sink can adversely affect a home’s energy. Water is very cleansing and is said to wash away energy, positive as well as negative. A crystal often selected to combat this problem is a clear quartz point. Try taping one to the U-bend of the water pipe, pointing it upwards so that you are directing the energy back into the room.

If you have a very old house, it is likely that there is a well underneath the building. Feng Shui masters believe that this creates a vortex which pulls the energy from your house down into the well, like water going down a drain. A large chunk of rose quartz is often used in such situations, since it is said to have the effect of dampening down the vortex effect completely.

Whether you wish to delve into the mysteries of Feng Shui or not, you can always look to the wonder of crystals to enhance your own energy as well as that of your home.

Crystals in the Workplace

Energies are all around us, at home, work and in the street. You don’t choose who you work with and so many employees find themselves trapped in an office environment with some highly negative people. Stress levels can be high, as can the constant exposure to the electromagnetic field (EMF) generated from your office PC. It can affect your energy, preventing positive energies from penetrating and negative energies from escaping.

Many people combat these problems with the use of crystals. The energies of crystals are believed to cleanse negativity and amplify positive vibrations.

One method to try is to take a crystal into the workplace and place it between yourself and your monitor. As well as being a striking decorative piece for your desk, it is said to absorb the harmful EMF generated by your PC . Alternatively, try wearing your crystal of choice close to your body as a shield against negative energies. Crystal earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are perfect for this.

What Crystals for the Office?

Knowing that crystals can help protect from electromagnetic frequencies is half the battle. But what crystals are best to use?

Black tourmaline will reflect away electromagnetic energy and protects you if you are under attack by a boss or unhappy workmate.

Rose quartz (associated with love and compassion) and Rutilated Quartz (quartz with inclusions of titanium or other ores) are said to be very useful in healing negativity. You can also have a clear quartz cluster which will help dissipate bad energies.

Amethyst will help with electromagnetic stress and looks attractive on your desk. A tumblestone is sufficient but a cluster is better for dispersing negativity.

Fans of Tourmalinated Quartz speak of its effectiveness. It is a beautiful mineral and you will enjoy having it on your desk at work. For the budget conscious, a carborundum or amethyst energy dome will do the job for a very affordable price.

So to make your working day happier and healthier, consider the amazing properties of crystals.
