Day 30 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

April's challenge has been a wonderfully powerful for me. I have enjoyed interacting with all of my crystals as they helped to enhance and heal my life. These are just a few of my books on the subject. I plan to continue using my crystals and stones in my personal healing practice.

Day 29 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

I love seeing and/or building cairns. They can be markers so you can find your way back or just a way of saying I was here, but some people build them as a memorials for a love one who has passed or to remember some life altering event.

Day 28 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

I have this large tray on my bedroom dresser and in it I have sectioned out my crystals and stones according to color. This makes it very easy to grab what I need.

Day 27 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

Whenever I travel, I take along my traveling altar which is filled with magical items like a copper buddha, African trade beads and kente cloth, given to me by my dad, sea glass and shells, incense, candles and I have a couple of crystals and my carved stone mala beads and all of this is inside this little case. Recently I rented a beautiful place for the Vernal equinox and while I was there I set up my altar and did a ritual to welcome Spring. A traveling altar is a wonderful idea because you can consecrate the spaces that you journey to and create sacred energy around those spaces.

Day 26 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

I love it when someone gives me a gift of crystals and/or stones. This powerful lush mixture was given to me by my now eleven year old granddaughter who is one of Crystal children that have come to the planet to usher us into the next age. I keep it near my bed for sweet protected powerful dreams.

Day 25 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

My HIMALAYAN SALT LAMP is wonderful for grounding, cleansing and purifying my energy. For the past two weeks I have been sitting with my daughter at the hospital trying to get the idiot sick doctors to release her healthy preemie daughter. That means that we spent a lot of time in a fear based dark place so coming home and grounding the negative energy has been crucial.

Day 24 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

One of the easy ways to do crystal and stone healing is to wear them as jewelry. Just wearing a single ROSE QUARTZ bracelet can help to open and soothe your heart, or wearing turquoise for protection. I tend to always layer on my jewelry so my arms have crystals and stones for every chakra.

Day 23 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

I enjoy living with crystals and stones all around my home. I think I have them in every room and I plan to add more. They are not inanimate objects like western thought tells you, they are sentient beings that can share healing and knowledge with you. Whenever I travel to power spots like Sedona, Arizona and Mt. Shasta, California, I find some wonderful crystals and stones they speak to me and return home with me.

Day 22 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

My intuition lead me to a piece of CORAL for today's healing treatment. On the site, About.com Holistic healing, they state that, "the remedy benefits of coral are, emotional healer, brings peace, stimulates intuition, and relieves stress. Once again my intuition is right on point.

Day 21 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

Green is the color tonight and I chose GREEN CALCITE for cleansing, AVENTURINE for balancing, AND GREEN FLUORITE for grounding excess energy . I still need more grounding, balancing and calming of my mind and the stones are perfect. Each evening I choose which stones and crystals to work with by using my intuition. After pulling the stones, I read up on their attributes and it is always exactly what I needed.

Day 19 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone

Tonight my husband and I gathered around this STRAWBERRY QUARTZ crystal ball and performed a ritual to send love and healing through the ether to our new granddaughter who was born at 32 weeks breathing on her own and perfect but for some lame reason, after three weeks, they are still keeping her at the hospital. We reached out to our/her ancestors, guardians, and spirit guides to surround her in protective energy. It is time for the hospital to release her and let her go home with her mom, dad, brother and sister. Ashe!

Day18 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

Tonight I pulled out a BLUE CALCITE for my throat chakra and a chunk of HIMALAYAN SALT for my root chakra. The blue stone will restore, calm and help with my verbal communication and my salt crystal is for purification of my gut where I tend to hold on to a lot of old stuff. I am releasing.

Sunday, April 17, 2011

Day 17 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

I am in need of some serious grounding so today I chose the stones ONYX AND OBSIDIAN. Very often I choose the crystal or stone that I want to work with by its color. Black and brown stones and crystals are excellent for grounding and protection and my intuition tells me that that is exactly what is needed for the hard week ahead.

Day 16 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

STRAWBERRY QUARTZ is helping me to create a harmonious environment and this is needed because things have been a little stressed lately.

Friday, April 15, 2011

Day 15 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

I used AMETHYST on my brow chakra, for communication with the higher self, BLUE LACE AGATE on my throat chakra, for concise verbal communication, ROSE QUARTZ to open my heart chakra, CITRINE for my solar plexus because I needed to release all of the tension I have been holding in my gut, and, SMOKY QUARTZ for my root chakra and my protection. These are the crystals that spoke to me today.

Day 14 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

MOLDAVITE is a very expensive crystal because it is so rare and as far as I know, only found in one place. It is said to have formed when a meteorite hit the earth. According to the Crystal Bible, "it is a fusion of extraterrestrial energies with mother earth." I have only ever seen it sold in these tiny little pieces and I bought this one about twelve years ago and it costed me around forty/fifty bucks. I love the deep green color and the power that emanates from it is off the richter and it opens you to communications with your higher self.

Day 13 of my April Challenge- Crystal and Stone Healing

AMETHYST is one of the most popular crystals and it is considered a master healer and can be used on all of the chakras. It is perfect for the brow and crown chakra and I often use it for balance, grounding, expansion and for healing an occasional headache. Today I used it for protection against psyche attack because for the past two weeks, I have been spending time in a very negative and sometimes hostile environment and I need to shield myself against hater vibes.

Day 12 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

Tonight I feel draw to my LEMURIAN SEED crystal because I feel like reaching for a higher state of evolution. I am tired of the mundane and I would love to tune into a higher vibration in preparation for my journey to Sedona and Mt Shasta. The bell and cymbals on the photo are used to clean my crystals, I prefer using sound instead of water or earth, but I have been known to use those methods also.

Day 11 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

This is an actual porous stone from Mt. Shasta one of my favorite power spots. They say that Mt. Shasta is a magnetic vortex and that there is a portal that if you walk into it, you come out in my other favorite power spot, Sedona. You cannot tell from this photo but the stone has a purplish tint to it and some say that that is because of St. Germain is said to appear on the mountain. When I sit with this stone, I think of all of the marvelous stories about lemurians living in the mountain, little people dwelling on the mountain, strange cloud formations over the mountain, lights over and on the mountain at night, sightings of big foot and ufos and all of the people that make a pilgrimage to the mountain every year. I love the energy in this stone because for me it embodies power and magic.

Day 10 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

CITRINE is the crystal that I pulled tonight and this was not a coincident because everything that it heals is exactly what I need. According to the Crystal Bible, it absorbs, transmutes, dissipates and grounds negative energy and it also increases blood circulation just to name a few of its abilities.

Saturday, April 9, 2011

Day 9 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

CLEAR QUARTZ is one of my favorites and when I lived in San Francisco, I used to plant them in the earth all over the city. I was constructing an energy grid to be activated at a later date! This is my largest clear quartz crystal and because quartz is the easiest crystal to program, I have programed this one to be my master healer. I sit with it in my lap and I let her do her work.

Day 8 of my April Challenge-Crystal and Stone Healing

BOJI STONES are the coolest stones because they are always found in twos, a male, the bumpy one on the left and the female, the smooth one on the right. They are perfect for balancing my female/male energy.

Day 7 of my April-Crystal and Stone Healing Challenge

I used ROSE QUARTZ, SUGILITE, AND RHODONITE during my evening and morning meditations and I also slept with them under my pillow. I was in dire need of the loving energy emitted by these lovely crystal and stones. Also rose quartz is wonderful for opening the heart chakra and sugilite is fantastic in helping you sleep peacefully.

Day 6 of my April-Crystal and Stone Healing month

SMOKY QUARTZ and SILVER SHEEN OBSIDIAN is what I chose to carry in my pockets today on my trip to the NICU where they are holding my new preemie granddaughter. Hospitals are very negative places from what I have experienced so I need to bring my smoking quartz to keep that energy at bay and my obsidian to help me preserver. When ever the energy in that place full of fear would get to me, I would reach into my pocket and hold the stones and they would keep me grounded and protected.

Day 5 of my April- Crystal and Stone Healing Month

LAPIS LAZULI one of my favorite stones. I use it for opening my third eye, or at least attempting to, it has happened. For me, it is a very powerful stone so when I place it on my third eye and my throat chakras, I only use it for a short time, no more than ten minutes. In the past I tried to use it at bedtime but it actually took me to some deep places that made trying to sleep afterwards, very difficult. In reading, "The Crystal Bible," by Judy Hall, she says that this stone contacts your spirit guardians and it recognizes psychic attack and sends it back to the source. This is a great stone to work with and recently a friend sent me some little lapis lazuli earrings, perfect!!

Day 4 of my April-Crystal and stone Healing Month

CHRYSOPRASE and CHRYSOCOLLA are the two crystals that I gravitated towards today. I used one on my heart chakra and the other on my throat chakra. They are both wonderful for calming and I am in need of that. The chrysocolla can help to align all of my chakras and draws out negative energy. I ended up laying down for 40 minutes with these two stones and felt very relieved upon getting up and I am ready to deal with whatever is going on this week.

Sunday, April 3, 2011

Day 3 of my April Challenge-Crystal Healing month

CELESTITE and ANGELITE are the crystal and stone that was called for today. I needed to contact the angelic realm and to call in all of my ancestors to watch over a family member and to keep her safe. These two, celestite a crystal and angelite a stone, are both very comforting and when I use them, it actually works quickly and I feel protected by spirits, guides, ancestors and sometimes, I think I feel touched by them.

Saturday, April 2, 2011

Day 2 of my April Challenge-Healing with Crystals

This has been a blue week and this morning was no exception. I used my SODALITE during my early morning meditation because I needed to calm myself down and sodalite is so gentle and soothing. I will probably use it again during my meditation before bedtime because it has been a nerve racking week.

April's Challenge-Crystal Work Everyday


This month is going to be fabulous as I give myself a different crystal treatment or sit in meditation with a particular crystal or even sleep with a crystal under my pillow everyday. Yes, I plan to work with my crystals and to get to know more about them for my April Challenge. This has been a very trying week so it was wonderful to use my SMOKY QUARTZ to calm down and ground the hectic energy.
