Crystals for Healing and Emotional Support

All of the years that I was buying crystals and making jewelry for myself and others, I was intuitively using crystals for emotional support and healing.  In 2015, I felt led to take some training and chose to work with Michelle Welch at SoulTopia Academy.  I earned my Level 1 and Level 2 certifications with Michelle in crystal healing.   Now I make crystal selections in a more conscious fashion, although I still rely on my intuition to guide me in some instances.

When a relative passed away in the summer of 2015, I collected some crystals for grief and put them in a silk bag in my purse.  I also wore two yellow calcite bracelets, which support grief and grieving. After the funeral, I flew home and reflected on how I felt. This is what I told my husband Steve:  “I felt supported.  I felt that with the essential oils and crystals, I was held in the arms of my angels and was free to feel my feelings, without the fear of being overwhelmed.” (Essential oils can also support your emotional health and healing.  More on that later.)

What are some other crystals to use for emotional support and healing?  Well, you can always Google “crystals for ______” and get lots of information. There are also wonderful crystal bibles and books available.  I recommend those by Adrienne Goff, Philip Permutt and Judy Hall.  Go to Half Price Books and ask your friends what crystal books have supported their growth.

There are many ways that you can use a crystal or stone. Choose a method that is comforting and easy for you to do. 

Here are some ideas:
1. Hold it in your hand and close your eyes for a few seconds. As you feel your feelings, allow the power of the stone to support you.  Then, ask the crystal to alleviate your pain and gently clear the energy. Lepidolite or Lithium Quartz are my favorite crystals for soothing myself or calming anxiety.  I also love Rose Quartz and it is very inexpensive to obtain.
(Here is a photo of Lithium Quartz.)

  

2. Carry one or two stones in your pocket. I usually carry a Black Tourmaline in my pocket for negativity or negative people. I also carry Rose Quartz and my Lithium Quartz.
3. Put a crystal under your pillow for healing while you sleep. You can also place crystals on your nightstand, dresser or around your home for healing and to add beauty.

4. Buy beads of the crystals and make a bracelet or a necklace to soothe and heal yourself. Lapiz is one of my favorites.  However, I have LOTS of necklaces and bracelets in all colors.(Just ask my husband, Cowboy Psychic Steve Spur!)

5. Hold a crystal during meditation or sit it on a table or shelf nearby.  Amethyst or Smokey Quartz are good to use.  Another favorite is Clear Quartz, because it amplifies any other stone.
It's fun to go to a "rock shop" or metaphysical store that sells crystals and let a crystal "pick" you.  Then, you can research the crystals you took home and learn more about yourself and how crystals can support you in your healing and growth. 

A simple rule of thumb is to buy a crystal in the color that corresponds to the chakra you may be wanting to heal or balance.   

When you schedule a Guidance Reading or Coaching Session, I may refer to specific crystals or gemstones that your Guides & Angels recommend for your journey.

Oracle of the 7 Energies - My New Deck!

Good morning! I haven’t written in my blog in quite some time. Life happens, busy with projects at my “day job” and busy with Coffee & Cards and other sessions with clients.
What is Coffee & Cards? It is a weekly get together with our Tribe in Waxahachie, to share 3 card readings for ourselves. We do these readings with Angel and Oracle cards. Previously, we were meeting at Fresh Market Kitchen & Coffee in Waxahachie. The pandemic changed all that.
Now, we meet on Zoom! Every Saturday morning at 10 AM CST, we meet and share our “HERO” card from our 3 card reading. I do a reading for myself, making notes and highlighting key insights. Then, I share my “HERO” card with the group, when it is my turn to share during the weekly meeting.
What is a “HERO” card? Well, it’s the card that:
· Stands out
· Resonates most deeply
· Really “speaks” to you
· Jumps out of the deck when you are shuffling or pulling cards
For example, last Saturday, I pulled 3 cards from my brand new Oracle of the 7 Energies Deck by Colette Baron-Reid:
-Earth Magic
-A Merry Motive
-The Land Between
Earth Magic jumped out at me and said, “pick me, pick me!” It is an illustration of two feet on the ground, with legs crossed at the ankles, as if in a dance pose. In fact, I first thought I saw ballet shoes on the feet! There are stars both up above the ground and down below, with the root system. The idea is that once you are “grounded” manifesting is easy! By being grounded, we are able to realize our goals and desires. Being grounded in Nature, you are safe within the quiet, dark place where magic begins, where EVERYTHING begins.

In the guidebook that accompanies the cards, Colette shares that “The Earth is a conscious, living thing that does miraculous things!” I am a part of the Earth and she is a part of me. So, I can imagine anchoring my energy to this truly magic place.
Especially during the pandemic, where so many of us are floundering, hiding, coasting or whatever you call this “in-between” time we are in, it is good to be anchored in the Earth.
What if, instead of feeling BURIED in the dark, I envision myself as PLANTED in the nutrient rich, magical soil, where my seeds are germinating, ready to sprout in a few months?
I am grateful for new awareness and new ways of reframing this passage of my life . . .
