Good Morning!

 

Money and Crystals

 

Money is one of the most powerful forces in our lives, but many

people choose not to talk about it, not to look at how they spend and

save, not to examine how it affects their life choices. In order to

restore a proper balance, we need to come to terms with our own

relationship with money. Go through your day and see how much

you do that involves money.

 

Money enslaves, yet it also frees; it is intensely private, but it is

very public; it measures worth, yet is no measure of real worth; it

destroys, but also creates. It is one of the most powerful, erotic

forces in our lives.

 

Money offers connections to power, pleasure, security, freedom and

status, as well as fear, guilt, shame, insecurity, greed, envy,

jealousy and selfishness.

 

There is not very much in life that is not related to money in some

way.

We think in terms of family life, spiritual life, sex life, church

life -- we don't think of money that way because it permeates all of

the other arenas.

 

Research, including interviews with more than 250 people of different

economic means, identified a common frustration - " how we apply money

is out of sync with what we say are our core values. " 1.

 

Contributing to the problem are the powerful taboos that severely

limit discussion of money. Here is something we have to live with

every day that we're not allowed to talk about. Getting people to

talk about personal issues of money is not a popular thing in the

culture. When you talk about values and spending and how it ties in

with their ideas about money, it can go deeper than people want to

go.

 

Words like " safe, " " caring " and " sensitive " crop up repeatedly in

descriptions on money.

One important exercise in money perspective is writing a money

autobiography, including how money was handled growing up, how you

spend your money, how you give money, "

Often those patterns can be subconscious or the perception of

poverty, and the ways a family coped with being poor, for example,

can translate into particular kinds of anxieties as an adult.

Conversely, being surrounded as a child by extravagant disregard for

the value of money can have its own psychological impact.

 

Crystals that help us in the realiziation of money, how to utilize it

properly and how to bring it into our lives can be helped with:

Dear Andrew "

Once more your post was a motherlode of interesting information.

I created a necklace in the following order of garnet, citrine, amber,

rose quartz, turquoise, sodalite, amythest.

Can you tell how it would effect me. It's very calming but maybe it's

the power of suggestion. In the middle is a Herkimer.
