Why would you use a crystal massage wand?

Understanding the human body, we can explore the various points and body

Rose Quartz is helpful for in a Massage Wand

areas where massage wands are used. The main reasons for using a massage wand are:

• relieving pain by working on muscular trigger points
• reducing swelling by accessing the lymphatic system
• reduce stress and anxiety by affecting the nervous system
• increase energy flow by treating the chakra system

How to apply treatment with your massage wand effectively

Pain is a signal for you to pay attention to your body. To relieve pain, we are helped by knowing about what it is and what type of pain can be relieved with a massage wand.

For example: We fell and bruised our knee, and doing so our lower back starting to hurt as well. In this case we would not use the massage wand on the bruise, but the soft tissue in the lower back and hips. In a fall, mini tensions are created all over your body as muscular trigger points, even in remote muscles. By using a massage wand on these points with firm steady pressure the tensions may release.

The lymphatic system distributes liquid (lymph) in our body complimentary to the circulation of blood. Use a crystal massage wand on the lymph nodes with very gentle pressure and strokes.

In case of the fall: the swelling can be reduced by working on the lymph nodes at the top of the leg.

Stress and anxiety troubles many people but if they use a massage wand or a crystal sphere, they could reduce their symptom by treating the acupressure points and do meditation.

Your fall might be a result of feeling stressed, and using a crystal wand might be used by gently massaging with light pressure on the chest around the thymus area, or just holding it in a crystal meditation.

The chakras are the energy organs that distribute and provide the right energy frequency to our subtle body.

This means, if you were upset or did not feel safe in general, that might have precipitated the fall in my example above. By working in the aura near the root chakra, with your massage wand, you have an opportunity to remove energy blockages there.

To make crystal massage wand application easy:

General Suggestion: Use a gentle pressure with slow movement. On trigger points in the muscles use steady firm pressure on each point that feels sore for about 10-20 seconds, then move to the next point. Use small rotation, and stay close to the point in question. For Lymph nodes you must use extremely light pressure and very light stoking away from the swelled area, but not on the injury. On acupressure points use a massage wand or two with light steady pressure without movement on one or two points simultaneously. For chakras: use circular movement 2-6 inches above the chakra, clockwise to pull out energies anticlockwise to infuse energy. To work with any healing therapy, or chakras effectively, requires knowledge and experience with energy healing.

Where to buy crystals for healing and self discovery?

Chakra pendant for healing with the chakras.

Now you might take a chance on a piece of jewelry, or a sweet looking crystal, but where to buy crystals with the healing qualities you want, is another matter. In these guide lines I detail 9 critical points to evaluate your selections.

9 critical points on the topic: Where to buy crystals for healing?

1. How it looks. You know when you want to know where to buy crystals, and then buy something, you feel you need this item. And the images of the healing crystal you want look good to you. But consider this: where to buy crystals effectively also include a helpful description and that the people on the site are available to discuss your healing questions.
2. What you need is a different matter from what you want. Think awhile of what you actually need before you ask where to buy crystals and buy something. What area do you need help with? Perhaps letting go of a boyfriend, or girlfriend who left you with painful emotions and worries. Now to remedy this you might choose crystals for: forgiveness, letting go and improve your personal energy. In this case the following crystals might be an option for you: Rose Quartz (to love yourself and forgive the other person), Tiger-eye (for strength), Rutillated Quartz, or Garnet (for improving your inner energy). Now you are armed with some ideas of which stones to choose.
3. What is your budget? You can right of the bat decide what you want to spend, then go look for crystals in that price category. Now look for where to buy crystals in your price category. That makes you selections easier, as you can screen various options quickly.
4. Do I trust the vendor? To learn about a certain on-line or off-line store, you can visit the location a few times before you actually make your purchase. Look at what people say about the store, check their Facebook page and so forth. Ask questions and see what they answer. If you like what you experience, go for it, develop a relationship with that particular store, and they will take care of you much better. This is where to buy crystals for healing!
5. How to use the crystal I choose. This is probably easier:google it, or sign up for healing information newsletters. I find that when I make comparison between different sources I can distil the essence and see what is helpful for me. In your case: Spend some time for research and then evaluate what you learned. Perhaps choose 3-4 good sources and stick with them. Best way to use any crystal is to actually tune in with yourself and the crystal, then you’ll know for sure. But, until you are proficient with attuning yourself, learn from other trusted sources.
6. What results can I expect? You can expect results to be in proportion to what you yourself put in as a commitment to deal with. Yes, no-one can do it for you, so you must engage in your own healing process fully. At that point the crystals can facilitate huge shifts.
7. Where do I get help? You can get help from all the sources you have investigated and developed connections with! So you see it pays off to develop relations with people, and the more sincere you are the more sincere people will help you.
8. What if it doesn’t work for me? Good, then you know what not to do. And as the Dalai Lama says: Never give up! So try something new, choose to see your problem, or situation from a different perspective. You might get a inspirational book and  read about what other people did, who where in your situation. For example, The Crystal Lotus Handbook describes half a hundred ways to work with crystals. You might try it.
9. Where can I learn more about healing? Take a course on the topic you want to focus on, or join a Facebook group, or better start your own healing group to attract people to help you learn more. If you have any questions about where to buy crystals please do not hesitate to email or call us!

PS Where to buy crystals and most any healing gemstone is on the internet, and if you enjoyed this post tell others about it!

The energetic signature of crystals and healing intentions are highly compatible

When I see a crystal I can also see its vibrational signature, or rather I feel it.

Amethyst is ideal for allowing inner change to take place.

Sometimes it appears as an image, but most of the times it is this signature that resonates most. And rightly so, because this vibrational quality of crystals is what makes healing possible. Just think about it, we are surrounded by crystals as minerals in our diet, as rocks and regular stones we walk on, as the ground we build houses on, and as mountains setting our whole life experience in perspective. Crystals and healing are inevitable; we will heal our issues sooner or later. Crystals and healing together speeds up the process! You may ask: Why would I as a regular person want to do healing?

If you intend to be happy you can use crystals and healing methods suitable to you to fulfill this goal!

There are several consideration regarding crystals and healing. Here I will share with you some of the ways I have found gives the best results!

5 Ways to Happiness with crystals and healing techniques:

1. Remembering my goals. Crystals can be programmed for your intentions, in the same way you can program a computer: Write the program. Install it. Now use it! Translated to healing it means every time you see your crystals you remember your goals.
2. Reinforce my motivation. You may have started several projects only to discover that you got distracted, or forgot about them. Then the remnants of the projects will become an obstacle instead of helping you. For example: You want to plant a small garden, and buy all the gear and seeds, but you don’t actually plant anything… and the result is frustrating for most, then these items take up space in your garage. And years later, you discover all the projects you wanted to do by the remaining trails of stuff cluttering your space.. Does this feel familiar? If instead you programmed your amethyst jewelry to finish your project. Then every time you wear it, you are reinforcing your motivation to work on your project.
3. Deeper healing. Use crystals and healing your deeper issues. No one really wants to dig out that stuff, because it was too painful to begin with, and the longer we wait the harder it is. But at some point we must deal with it. It comes up at the most inconvenient time as a rule. If you realize this, using crystals and healing these issues at your own pace you can save yourself a lot of hardship.
4. Use crystals and healing as a mirror to see that other people’s problems are just a reflection to your own problems. When I carry my favorite stone, the crystal will amplify this process, and I can rectify myself immediately. Then why go into length emotional turmoil over a minor issue? Be happy instead!
5. Crystals and healing forgiveness: Some stones lend themselves to healing to forgive grave injustices we felt in the past! The best two crystals I know for that is: Rose Quartz and Amethyst. Rose Quartz for learning how to love yourself enough to discard your aggregation, and Amethyst to let go and change your ideas that makes you suffer. Why not try this?

I wish you success on your journey. Many Blessings,

Your Stones Chakra Preparation Steps:

Tiger-eye stones chakra strengthener.

1. Select your stones and gem healers carefully, and with carefully I mean tune in with yourself to feel if in fact the crystal in question will help in your situation.
2. Care for your stones chakra health, and with that I mean the stones themselves need the right care and treatment.
3. Apply your stones chakra specific, for example on your heart chakra or your root chakra.

By selecting, caring and applying for your healing stones, you are in fact beginning your healing journey with stones chakra safe. You become more confident and clear about your goals. Now the actual personal work may begin.

Stability stones chakra 1: Root Chakra

Sometimes we choose dark crystals or red crystals to help our root chakra. A good stone to use is Smokey Quartz, which help us stay grounded when we have a lot of things going on. To work with your root chakra wear for example anklets or bracelets with Smokey Quartz. Also if you feel inclined towards meditation, use a sphere to focus your eyes on in your meditations. The benefits of crystal meditations are increased ability to focus on a task or completing your work on time. Your stones chakra affinity will also guide you to where your stones should be used.

Creative stones chakra 2: Sacral Chakra

Our second chakra deals with creativity, and procreation. If you are looking to become pregnant, a perfect stone to use is Unakite or Carnelian. I call Unakite the birthing stone, both for child birth, but also for bringing a project into manifestation. And with carnelian you may also open your creativity as well.

Power stones chakra 3: Solar Plexus Chakra

The main power stone I feel is Yellow Tiger eye, you can use Tiger eye on both the Navel Chakra and the Solar Plexus to balance these chakras and gain confidence and centering your personal power.

Love stones chakra 4: Heart Chakra

The heart is our most important chakra, because without love our life will be an endless journey of struggles. So the stones chakra 4 includes Rose Quartz as the main Love Stone! How to use Rose Quartz in your personal healing? The main practice is to love your stones and then starting to love having your love stone around. By immersing yourself in the Rose Quartz energy field you learn to tune into the energy of love. You can also wear a wire wrapped tumbled stone with Rose Quartz.

Expressive stones chakra 5: Throat Chakra

Amazonite is a beautiful blue-green stone for the throat and for learning to express oneself skilfully. Wear an Amazonite necklace when you are going to speak your mind about something.

Intuition stones chakra 1: Third Eye Chakra

Intuition can be developed by working with Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli. Amethyst helps us make inner changes and Lapis Lazuli to discover the wisdom of the process of adapting to changes.

All encompassing stones chakra 7: Crown Chakra

The perfect meditation stone is a piece of Quartz as a point, sphere or as in a wand. Clear Quartz resonates specifically to the living human body and is an immense help to become more aware and conscious. The benefit is naturally to be more happy, content and fulfilled.

Enjoy your journey through the chakras with crystals! Many Blessings,

PS Use any healing stones chakra tuned and aware.

and store. If you use tumbled stones for your chakra layout or as a gift to someone who needs healing, these are the things to keeping mind:

• selection and  storage
• preparing your stones for use
• applications for using tumbled stones

How to select your tumbled stones

The best method that I have found to select my tumbled stones is to just pick the ones that I am attracted to. It is the quickest method. Look at a selection and pick up the ones your hand is drawn to touch. Other ways are fine too, such as researching which stones you need by evaluating the crystal properties and gemstone meanings for each stone. Also you might discover that your friends have had good results with certain stones and as a result you want to try them too.

How to store and prepare your tumbled stones

Any healing stone including tumbled stones should be treated with care and a gentle hand, because the energy with which you care for your tumbled stones will be recorded within your stones. So the first thing you may do when you store the stones you have selected is to clean your tumbled stones with mild soap and slightly warm water. Dry them on a towel. After that you might clear your stones from non beneficial energy by smudging or reiki. To infuse and program the tumbled stones you might think of how you want to use your tumbled stones. Examples are: for chakra balancing, healing an illness of some kind, loose weight or recover after a relationship break-up.

When you are ready, select an appropriate storage of your tumbled stones. This is the fun part. Make a silk bag, find a treasure box and line it with a soft cloth or simply arrange your tumbled stones on a special altar. The more ceremony you do will strengthen you intentions to heal. To finish: you benefit greatly to do a healing prayer asking the Divine to assist you in your work.

Applications for using tumbled stones

Now here is the good part, using your tumbled stones for your healing purposes. There are other uses of course like for decoration and using tumbled stones in your art or sculptures. For healing we can apply our tumbled stones in a crystal layout on the body, and if you know how to do a healing session this is one of the best uses for tumbled stones. So what can be healed with using tumbled stones? Areas for tumbled stones healing:

• Chakra Energy Imbalance
• Pain in the Body
• Integrating your Emotions

Addressing head aches and other kinds of pain by applying a set of healing tumbled stones may help you to affect the energetic causes for the pain and you may realize and understanding why any disturbing emotions were created. Best is to study Crystal Healing with qualified teacher, as you then know how to do the sessions in the most beneficial way. Healing is a sensitive and vulnerable process and great care should be taken to properly honor yourself and others involved. I wish you the best on your healing journey. Many Blessings,

Three Healing Tips with Amethyst Jewelry

In any healing meditation or active healing practice there are things to do, and things not to do. What to do first:

1. When you first bring your amethyst jewelry home, clean it and then clear it with reiki, smudge or your own personal prayer
2. Then decide for what personal purpose you want to use your amethyst jewelry
3. Wear your jewelry consciously and monitor your progress

If you apply these three things, you will have the opportunity to discover

Use Amethyst Jewelry for healing.

where you need to focus your attention. For example, in one of my courses, one lady reported that as soon as she put on her necklace she felt very angry. Yes, I know it might sound uncomfortable but if one wants to heal what causes troubles, one sometimes have to ‘grab the bull by the horns.’ In her case she spent several weeks to address her negative emotions, and heal herself. In the end she said it was complete. I was delighted to see her actually discover that she herself could do something about her situation.

When you choose to wear personal jewelry such as amethyst jewelry, you can expect change to be coming to you!

And with change I mean an inner personal change for the better, an example of that would be starting to exercise, meditate or be kinder towards that nasty … (you fill in the blanks). Yes all of the people in your life are there for your benefit. And without the challenges you experience, you would not grow and evolve as a person. So I suggest that when you wear your amethyst jewelry look for change. You might discover this subtle but decisive energy of Amethyst to improve your life and what is in it.

Do an Amethyst jewelry Immersion for Health and Love

If you have a particular problem with someone, you can try doing a Amethyst Immersion, meaning using several pieces of amethyst jewelry for a few days or a week. Try put on Amethyst earrings and a necklace plus anklets and wear it every day. And what you might want to pay attention to is:

• observe how you interact with others
• notice what you react to
• think about what if you didn’t need to be upset or react
• let amethyst help you by deflecting negativity away from you
• keeping your focus on your intentions to heal the problems you encounter

You might make your healing journey joyful by connecting with other friends to work with amethyst jewelry. Then you can compare notes about your progress together.

This is what not to do, when you want to work with healing:

Letting other people handle your jewelry without your consent. When you cleared and intended to work with healing, you programmed your amethyst jewelry to help you, if other people interfere, you must reinforce your own intentions to be healed. If you are doing meditations you can focus your intentions before your meditation session. This usually gives you sufficient support. Many Blessings,

PS Almost any Amethyst jewelry might be used to support your healing journey.

You can use chakra gemstones in your own practice, but what you do with them is crucial for your success in healing!

Reading the nine facts about chakra gemstones, you’ll discover that the things you do, feel and think related to your own chakra gemstones will dictate the effect you seek. I cannot be more passionate about this! You have an opportunity to be passionate about your own success as well, because when you know what to do your capacity and skill is improved as well. Here we go:

Nine facts about chakra gemstones for the modern healer

1. All gemstones are subject to natural laws and the energy environment, including your own
2. Any crystal or gemstone with enough natural resonance can be used as a healing tool
3. Most chakra jewelry and polished gemstones are not made for healing, but for financial interest
4. Chakra gemstones and jewelry can be effective tools only when used with the right intentions
5. Crystals and gems will function better if they are cleansed, cleared and programmed beforehand
6. Chakra gemstones are key components in a crystal healing tool box
7. The healers role in healing is vital and not dependent on a particular tool or gemstone
8. Your preparations, including spending time to select, program and use your own chakra gemstones carefully, enhances your capacity as a healer
9. It is up to you which chakra gemstones you use, as your healing practice is yours and your tools reflect you own ability to help others

How to select the best chakra gemstones for you?

First of all you must be interested in healing to be able to best choose your stones. It might sound redundant reasoning, but I find in my courses that people have all kinds of reasons for doing healing. Here are some examples:

This Amazonite wand exhibit 7 chakra gemstones.

• wanting to change someone’s behavior
• blaming others and be right about it
• wanting someone to do the work for them
• not wanting to get out of their comfort zone
• continue their own habitual behaviors

Usually the first hour of any course I do, is spent on sorting these ideas out. When you select your chakra gemstones bear this in mind. What is the purpose for my healing? It is a question only you can know, and I invite you to explore this blog and other sources to learn more so that you can make informed choices.

Three qualifications for selecting your chakra gemstones

As described above, the stones and tools you use should include these qualifications:

1. Have enough natural resonance to act as a healing tool. Your intuitive sense can tell you this, often right away in most cases
2. Have the right size and shape for your usage
3. Have the optimal combination of the individual gemstones

Then the rest is up to you! Many Blessings,

Click here to find gemstone jewelry fit for a queen!

Gemstone jewelry for healing is not new and facts about Queen Cleopatra may astonish you, she was not wearing gemstone jewelry just for being beautiful. No there was other reasons why she and other royalty wore gemstone jewelry. To be honest with you the reasons might scare you. Read on…

Does Gemstone jewelry enhance personal power?

Right on, our kings and queens through history covered themselves with gemstone jewelry basically from tip to toe. At each crowning, royal wedding or gala we see the royals with a lavish display of gemstone jewelry. Do you think they want us to know they are wealthy? No, that is not the main reason. Power, is the reason. Yes, personal power!

From a healing point of view, personal power comes from gathering energy into your central core, especially in your belly or navel area. Gemstone jewelry may help us focus that energy and retain it. Wearing gemstone jewelry anchors energy for us, until we can do it ourselves. But how you use your personal power is another matter…

I am not saying that the current royalty misuse their power, but past rulers of the world did not hesitate to use unconventional methods to stay on the throne. The use of gemstone jewelry is deeply tied in with tyranny and ego use. I am writing about this here so you can take warning, because violent behavior begets violence and a mind at war. Here we aim to stop this and promote healing: self healing for stopping anxiety, depression and self destructive behavior. Gemstone jewelry can help with that if we have the clear understanding what and how to go about it.

How can a regular person like me use gemstone jewelry to end depression, anxiety and other harmful condition of my mind?

Imagine yourself as a good king or queen, your people will to look up to you because you are noble respectful and beautiful. You would make sure that the lands were safe and protected against invaders and robbers. You have lots of resources to rule your country with, and if you are a good ruler even more respect and devotion would be bestowed upon you. This is going on inside your mind as visualization, an inner movie: And when you wear your gemstone jewelry think like this! Notice if you become more respectful and loving towards others. Good begets good. Don’t behead someone just because he or she doesn’t like you, because then you will be in line for the next beheading. Mind you, it is also illegal!

Try this gemstone jewelry technique:

Whenever you wear you gemstone jewelry imagine it as an Auric Shield or protective garment around you that helps you take back your power and repair inner shortcomings. Try this next time you wear your gemstone jewelry. The stronger the visualization the stronger you will be.
