about conflicting crystal combinations

[Guest guest]

This week I have gotten or encountered frequent questions and

discussions on what crystals go together and what crystals conflict

with each other.

When the same subject is put before me repeatedly I tend to think that

it means I should pay attention to that issue and clarify my feelings

and experiences.

I have seen lists that say never wear or carry amber with pearls or

emerald with obsidian or whatever. There are dozens if not thousands of

these " rules " some stem from the jewelers trade and really mean don't

wear soft easily scratched stones next to hard scratchy stones. I

really have not had many experiences of crystals conflicting certainly

not in a way that can be categorized into lists of absolutes.

 

My experience is that if a crystal or stone will not benefit you it will

remain inactive when you wear or carry it . If you need help from two

or more stones at the same time they will usually harmonize with each

other and be supportive of each others work. Think of crystals as

intelligent compassionate beings not things. The stones

can work out their own differences if they have any which usually they

don't.

 

Sometimes it may seem like some stones are conflicting. This

usually has more to do with our needs and lessons and focus than with

any conflict of the stones and crystals.

 

With crystal healing as with energy work and other healing we cannot

expect to be comfortable trying to work for too many different goals

simultaneously or trying to do too much at once.

 

If we hope that one crystal will help us with having more energy and

another will help us sleep and another will keep you alert for the

test and are trying to work with them all at once we are likely to feel

that the combination is not working.

 

The problem would not be in the stones but in our confused goals or in

some issue that we may need to explore.

When you have a personal dislike about a combination of two elements

this may mean that for you at this particular time you do not benefit

from working with that particular set of energies and the issues they

help with at the same time or in combination. I

 

It may mean that you have not resolved some issue say for

example between the masculine and feminine energies and are not

comfortable with a combination because it does promote awareness

harmony attention to that area.

 

Not all healing and spiritual evolution feels good. Sometimes the work

brings about an awareness of our own imbalances that feels uncomfortable

and we may interpret that as due to some outside " negative " reason such

as conflicting stones rather than because we are dealing with change.
