Healing crystals and stones come in all sizes, colors and shapes.
Each crystal has a unique vibrational resonance which is derived from their mineral content, shape and the colour frequency they emit. Every healing crystal has its own energy vibration. The energy of the crystal can have powerful effects on the energy vibrations within a person.

Fouling up Afghanistan’s Lapis Lazuli Mines

lapis lazuli

Before we get into the whole of Afghanistan’s Lapis Lazuli Mines topic…

First, I will set some ground rules for myself and ask that you kindly keep to the same in any commenting (these are pretty much the rules I stick to for what I post about, in general, so I can discern if it’s within the realm of what our community is expecting to learn from me and also not contribute to any division or separation… certain topics have a way of doing that even if it’s not the original intention)

Ground Rules

  1. No political discussion – please put politics aside
  2. No religious discussion – please put religion aside
  3. No vaccine discussion – please put opinions aside (WTH does that have to do with this topic? I don’t know — but somehow, lately, it ends up sneaking into everything so I’m just putting it out there… stay off this topic here too.)
  4. No bringing up the general ethics of mining minerals (I’ve already written an opinion piece on that topic here, feel free to dive in deep and comment there on that — … Read More

How to Connect with a New Crystal

So, you just brought home a new crystal — and you want to get to know it, you want to know how to connect with it.

What’s the best way of going about doing that?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to start off your crystal relationship right!

When I bring home a new crystal I usually like to retune it (what many call “cleanse”) just to make sure it’s not bringing any extra baggage along with it. Know what I mean?

You can read more about how I like to do that here.

Then, the next thing I do is a crystal meditation with the specimen. I take at least 5-15 minutes to sit quietly with that crystal and see what kind of insights or messages I get from it — so I’ll know how that crystal will work best personally with me.

This is how I feel I get to know my crystals best. Once I have that info, then I determine if I want to take it deeper and really forge a close bond with this crystal. (I end up doing that with only about 6-10 crystals in my entire collection at … Read More

Moonstone Healing Properties, Correspondences and Meanings

Moonstone is a favorite and very popular crystal. It’s one that many of us are attracted to for its trademark blue flash.  Everybody loves that inner sparkle,  right?  Today, we’re going to talk all about moonstone’s healing properties, correspondences, and meanings.

Although Rainbow Moonstone is so gorgeous with that flash, it’s certainly not the only type of moonstone. And, it’s technically not Moonstone as it’s commonly referred to it in the trade. We’ll get to that in a bit here.

While it might be the first one that comes to mind because we are most familiar with seeing the rainbow variation in jewelry, there are many different kinds of Moonstone and it can get a little confusing…

But no worries because as always, I’ve got your back!! We will geek out on the geology below.

So, first, let’s talk about Moonstone’s metaphysical properties.

How to Choose Your Crystal

Because I get asked about this a lot…

I’d like to share three methods for releasing the confusion + allowing you to confidently choose the crystal you should work with (the one you’ll get the most impact from at the moment.)

Method 1: Go into your heart.

I’ve been giving this advice for a long time so please forgive if you feel I’m like a broken record, but it’s true and it works — here we go:

What crystal are you most attracted to at the moment?

What are your intentions?

What’s your goal?

There is no wrong crystal (Except… read more on that below).

crystals how to choose your crystal

Go with your heart and intuition. The crystal that you’re first attracted to, the one that you say you just love; there’s probably a really good reason for that. Go with it. Go with your heart. Let your heart pick the crystal, not a book.

I mean, books certainly come in handy. But I like to empower my students to trust their intuition, to go with their heart, and go with an unbiased mind if at all possible.
