Crystals

THE MOST COMMON CRYSTAL QUESTION I GET ASKED IS “WHAT’S THE BEST CRYSTAL(S) FOR PROTECTION?”. NOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, EXACTLY? IN A NUTSHELL, PEOPLE USUALLY MEAN THAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR A CRYSTAL THAT CAN PREVENT THEM FROM BEING NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY UNWANTED ENERGY OR INFLUENCES ON WHAT’S AFFECTING YOU AND WHAT YOU NEED.

It could be other peoples’ stress or emotional energy; ill-wishing, cursing, or psychic attack; envy, fixation, or jealousy; sorcery; malevolent spirits or spirit attachments; manipulation or abuse; a run of bad luck or ill fortune; or even the bad vibes of a room, house, building, plot of land, etc. There’s generally a list of crystals I can suggest, but the truth of my experience is that not all protective crystals work the same -- what you work with very much depends on what’s affecting you and what you need. This has to do with frequency: you want to be wearing or working with a crystal that’s tuned into the frequency of energy that will shield you from a specific kind of vibration or harm.

TOURMALINE

BLACK TOURMALINE Repels lower, harmful frequencies. If there’s one crystal I’d recommend in general for all-around protection, it would be black tourmaline. It creates the equivalent of an electrical force field around your aura so that lower vibes and psychic debris will bounce right off of you. This is usually why it’s the most commonly recommended crystal for protection. Its weakness, however, is that I’ve found it only works for un-intentional energies – vibes that are being sent at you willfully and powerfully can penetrate, as can spirits and spirit attachments. Still, this is a good choice for a daily protective crystal.

JET

Marie Energy Healer

It clears internalized emotional energy for empaths. As an empath myself, I’ve never found a crystal that keeps me from feeling other peoples’ energy (though I admit that hematite does come close), and I’ve also never wanted my ability to be completely shut off. While it has its liabilities, being empathic is an incredible psychic gift. Jet absorbs energy more than it emits, so when you get hit with someone else’s emotions, if you’re wearing Jet it will draw those vibes out of your system. You’ll still be in tune but you won’t have to suffer for it. Note: jet needs to be cleared regularly, sometimes several times throughout the day if it’s working hard, so bear that in mind or it will start to fall off you and break.

LABRADORITE

Shields against psychic attack, fixation, and ill-wishing. Psychic attacks can take on many forms, in this case, we’re talking about people hating on you, gossiping about you, and fantasizing about/desiring your total, epic ruin. This also applies to people who are fixated on you as a love interest (and it’s unrequited), who wants something from you (that you don’t want to give), and/ or who are pulling on your energy to fill their own need, lack, or void. Wearing labradorite is like placing a shield or coat of armor over your heart chakra. It keeps you covered while you ride out what is essentially other peoples’ pain. I often suggest the addition of a heart stone, like rose quartz or pink kunzite, to add an additional buffer.

WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?

YOUR CHAKRAS ARE THE ENERGY CENTERS OF YOUR BODY.

What are Chakras? Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex and is used to describe the energy centers of the body. In the yogic traditions, chakras are depicted as Lotus owers, each with a different number of petals, similar to the lotus symbols found on our label and in this brochure. There are seven main Chakras and many more secondary Chakras throughout our body. The Chakras are located in the etheric, or subtle life-force, body. The chakras affect the flow of energy throughout our energy system. Prana, the life-force (also known as Chi) is all-pervading. Our energy centers are nourished by the flow of Pranic energy. Each Chakra is associated with certain parts of the physical body as well as with our mind and spiritual development. Chakras are influenced, awakened, and balanced through our thoughts and actions. They are aspects of our consciousness. If our Chakras are balanced and energy flows freely, we create a life of harmony, health, and spiritual awakening. The ideal is to have all chakra centers clear, balanced, and vitalized for optimal well-being. The chakra system goes back to ancient eastern masters. Each chakra is associated with a particular area of the body and a color of the spectrum. Crystal Stones are used at chakra centers for clearing, revitalizing, and healing. Crystal wands are utilized to open the chakras. Generally, the selection of Crystal stones corresponds with the associated colors of the chakra.
