Good Morning!

 

Celebrating Earth Week: Earth's Treasures

 

Healing Crystals and Gemstones are one of the most beautiful,

mystical and profound " energy medicine " tools, which have been used

for centuries throughout all cultures, religions and empires.

Crystals bring amazing benefits to the healing arena!

 

Consider creating a reiki grid or meditation space with these crystals. Use them

on your private alter or healing space to attune to the earth's energy!

 

Here are some of my favorite minerals for Earth Day:

 

Barite/Barium: Barium, is an orthorhombic mineral form of barium

sulfate(BaSO4). It is the chief barium ore and is also called barytes

and barite. It is a white or colorless mineral which is often tinged

with blue, brown, gray, red or yellow. It's name is derived from the

Greek word " barys " meaning heavy. Barite is used by the Native

Americans in their cerimonial practices. They used it to go from

physical mattter to the spiritual. In Dream Therapy, barite is used

to promote and stimulate the dream state, allowing one to remember

their dreams. On a physical level, Barite is used to cleanse the

system of toxins, to soothe a nervous stomach and to assist in the

healing of addictions.

 

 

BERYL Family: Beryl stones represent a group of minerals, which

include aquamarine, emerald, golden or yellow beryl, heliodor and

morganite, to name a few. Beryl assists its possessor in learning how

to filter out distractions and unnecessary stimulation. Good for

relieving stress, calming the mind. This stone works with the

particular color in relation to each Chakra center. This stone is

known to stimulate communication (blue), acceptance and healing

(green), reawakens the love of married people (pink), supports

spiritual growth (gold and white) and gives us strength and power

(yellow).

 

 

 

Boji Stones: Iron-magnetite concretion. Solid round, grey-brown discs

with high iron. Grounding, electromagnetic. Balances body's energy

field. Many have found they reduce pain by holding 1 in each hand.

Recharges electrically in sun. (Store boji's apart -magneticness

neutralizes each other. Also wearing/holding with tiger's eye or

other stone containing asbestos may bring on ill feeling.)

Rough " male " and smooth " female " stones both have + and - charge.

 

 

 

Copper: Excellent energy conductor! Sends and amplifies thoughts,

healing, and gem electrical energy into wearer's energy field. Next

to skin: Detoxes and soothes arthritis, rheumatism, other

inflammation problems. 3rd chakra: stomach, intestines. Warms,

releases resentment, anger. Built up in joints as arthritis.

Exhaustion recovery, circulation, balances warm sun energy and cool

lunar energy. Energize with sun.

 

 

 

Cuprite: Deep wine red. (High copper content) Opens flow of Root and

Spleen Chakras, Kundalini energy, will power. Also, with Heart

Chakra. Strengthens thymus, heart, blood, and oxygen, metabolism,

stamina and healing. Historically also heals relationship with

father, the yang side of us, masculinity (for men) and

confidence/security issues. Access past life.

A red to brown mineral found in the US, Australia, Mexico, and USSR.

Beneficial for metabolical imbalances. Helps the heart and blood,

muscle tissue, and skeletal system. Helpful for people having

difficulty dealing with father or authority figures. Considered

helpful in investigating past-life experiences.

 

 

 

Flint: A gray, white, black, red, or brown stone found in all

countries around the world. Beneficial to the entire body. All

tissue, internal or external, will be helped, but especially the

cardiopulmonary and cleansing systems. Helps one feel more whole and

healthy. Gives a strong boost to your mental state and is extremely

helpful for persons who have been afflicted by degenerative diseases.

 

 

 

Granite: The elemental powers of water and earth, ocean tumbled

granite is a unique stone combining the elements of the sea with the

deep rooted foundations of the earth! These stones are often full of

shiny, light reflecting drusies. This stone is a great balancer of

water and earth (emotions and practicality). Earth helps water to

keep its deep emotions in check. This incredible stone works on both

the Base/Root and Sacral/Spleen Chakra as it grounds unstable or

unsure emotions. Therefore, granite is wonderful for allowing for

increased protection and abundance. This stone works well on

skepticism. It allows for diplomacy, discretion, cooperativeness and

negativity. Granite is a wonderful relationship balancer. Ocean

tumbled granite in particular helps us to see and understand the big

picture. So it shows us to look past the little puddles in our lives

and focus on an ocean of opportunity and advancement!

 

 

 

Marascite: Silver-gray metallic is an iron ore which is iron oxide

(like Hematite) . Marcasite is iron sulfide. One of the most

grounding of all stones (Root Chakra.) Condenses scatteredness,

fuzziness into mental clarity, concentration, memory, practicality,

helps study, bookkeeping, detail work, sound sleep. Confidence, will

power, boldness. Egyptians used also to calm hysteria and anxiety.

Yang. Helps us adjust to being physical. Spleen, blood, cleanse. Can

deflect. R after jet lag, stress, birth, anesthesia.
