Crystals are Mother
Earth's gifts to us, formed within Her body, they are living energy,
in a way they are the keys to the Universe. Each particular type
of crystal or mineral can be seen as a key, and we can use these
keys to access specific energies, whether that be for healing, meditation,
protection, understanding, as well as a thousand other uses. Crystals
have been mined and used for thousand of years, and can be seen
in ancient crowns, regalia and jewellery. Lapis Lazuli was ground
up into paint and was used to decorate temples and icons.

How Do Crystals Affect Us
We all have our own
life/energy force, and we have energy points called chakras. We
have seven major chakras, each has a specific function, when we're
tired, stressed, unwell or depressed our chakras can slow down or
even stop working (which really isn't that uncommon in the stressful
society that we are a part of). Crystals are used by healers to
help realign chakras, they can assist the healing process, and can
be programmed for particular jobs.
Crystals have their
own frequency/energy. Rose Quartz is a specific nurturing energy,
A mother/love stone. If when you feel down you were to hold a cleansed
Rose Quartz you will begin to harmonise with the frequency of the
crystal, and absorb the feelings (frequency) of love and care into
your aura.

Crystals Have Their Own Energy
Crystals can enhance,
promote and help bring in chosen energies, for instance Tourmaline's
help at times of change, within the tourmaline family there are
different types: black, deflects negativity, green for emotional,
watermelon (pink and green), and red, all help during times of change
although in different ways. Topazes bring clarity, higher perspectives,
blue for emotional, golden for creativity. Diamonds is an amplifier
and purifier, Rubies strengthens the will and gives courage, Emeralds
helps to turn negativity into positively.

Choosing the Right Crystal For You:
The best way is to
let your intuition guide you, if you feel really drawn to one piece
that’s the one for you.
It can be incorporated
into jewellery or be raw pieces.
Crystals in their natural
form are the most powerful. When crystals are cut, shaped and polished
they can lose their natural force. However if the piece you like
has been shaped and polished working and wearing the stone will
bring energy and life back to the stone and it will perform its
natural function.

Cleaning Crystals
When you buy a crystal,
one of the first things you need to do is clean it. An ideal way
is to place the crystal under the cold tap and turn the water on
so it flows over the stone/s and down the plug hole, this will take
out the impurities and leave the stone clean and revitalised. Another
way is to leave it on a sunny windowsill and let the suns light
cleanse it.
A good way of checking
the stone is to dowse it, hold the dowser/pendulum over the crystal
and see what happens, the pendulum should pick up a clockwise swing,
if the crystal is dirty then it could be a slow or a small swing.
Cleanse the stone and check again, there should be a noticeable
difference in the energy of the stone.
