Crystal For Children

Good evening crystal lovers!

So this post is about crystals that you can use for your children! To start let me just say, I do not recommend any of you giving any stones, crystals, or minerals to younger children 7 years and younger. I would not want them to choke if they got ahold of them.

Ok so if any of you have babies or toddlers at home, you know that around this time, they are very attached to you and get scared when you are away from them, it could be because they go to pre-school and do not like leaving you or maybe they just hate going to bed at night because that means they have to sleep alone. To calm the nerves of the little ones, I would suggest either making a grid for them or putting the chosen crystal in a pouch and storing it high where they cannot each at all in their room. Lets say your little one is off to daycare or pre-school, make a grid at home to help them feel lots of love and safety. Trying using in your grid amethyst in the center or do a combo with amethyst and rose quartz in the middle and then having clear quarts points around as the outside part of the grid.

If your little ones are having trouble being without you while trying to sleep or they are having trouble trying to fall asleep because they are feeling uncomfortable, try putting rose quartz for loving energies, amethyst for feeling protected and keeping away nightmares, and then a blue lace agate to help them feel calm in their mind and body. Blue lace agate can help them start to feel a little sleepy. Put that in a pouch and high up in their room where they can not reach.

Now if you have older kids then it is ok to tell them to put the crystal either on their side table to help them sleep or under their pillow. For helping them with school, you can still make a grid that can help give them energy and help with concentration, at home.

I hope this post was helpful for some of you! If any of you have any questions, please let me know and I will do my best to help! Hope you all have a great night!

Crystal Blessings,

This Weeks Astrology News 1/28/15 - 2/3/15

Good evening crystal lovers!

So I realize I am one day behind on the astrology news. I have been very busy with finishing up college and trying to get my book done as well as being a mom. Very busy.

So this week on Wednesday and Thursday there was lots of creative energy flowing. I happened to use that time to my advantage to help get my book done. If any of you could feel that creative side, I hope you were able to use it to your advantage as well. It was a good time to try new things and maybe discover some new passions!

There will be a venus/Saturn square towards the end of this month and this will cause the energies to shift and cause us to feel doubtful about certain things in your life. It could be anything from doubting if you will get certain things in your life and doubting how you will receive what it is you want in life. Do not let this get to you because if we care enough about the whatever we wish to have, we can get it! We can do and get whatever we focus our minds towards. We can accomplish anything we put our mind to. Stay focused and positive.

February will start off lots of inspirational energies. Allow that in! Take advantage of those energies because that can give us the boost of motivation to get what we need to, done!

Then on Feb. 3rd, there will be a transit with Pluto and the sun. It will cause us to see life in a new way and make everything seem exciting and new, and will provide us with a rush of energy!

So for the crystals that can help this week:

For staying confident in ourselves and our decision making and remind us that we can achieve anything, try carrying a crystal like Green Aventurine!

To help keep a loving, happy  vibe going and remind us to keep smiling because it is all about love and staying positive, try carrying a crystal like a Rose Quartz.

And last, to help keep us on our feet during challenging times and to help boost our creativity, try carrying any of the Agates like, a Botswana Agate!

So I hope that you enjoyed this astrology post! Hope you all have a wonderful night and keep your heads up! The mind is a powerful tool and we can do anything we put out minds to.

Crystal Blessings,

Jennifer

Are You Taking Care Of Your Crystals Right?

Hello Readers!

So I have been asked how exactly you know if you are taking care your crystals right. Well that is a hard question to answer because it all depends on them and how their energies are interacting with yours. Now obviously you shouldn't throw them to purposely break them and, I assume that you all are not. It is also good to watch out for how much oil you put on them if you like to use oils with them. It also good to know that when using incense that, you check the incense package before put the stick end on or by the crystals because, some of the incense have oily residue. If the package does not then, it is safe to use closer to the crystals.

When it comes to water, some crystals cannot be in water because they are too fragile. For example Selentie should not be in water. It is too delicate. Same with the Kyanite family.  Any kind of stone, mineral, and crystals like that should not go in water. Just use incense or dirt to cleanse them.

So to go deeper into the question, there is no one exact way of taking care of your crystals. If you feel that their energy isn't working with yours, then just cleanse it and store it away until you feel that it is calling to you. Sometimes you may not find a use for a crystal at all and 4 years passes and you are being drawn to it for the first time. That is ok. It just depends on its energy and vibrations. Let it talk to you! Place it in you hand, open up to it, sit and listen and feel what it is telling you. If you feel like it isn't ready for you yet, that is ok! Please make sure that when you store it, you store the way you feel it should be stored. I store some of mine in my plants or just in dirt in a little pot alone and bury them till I am ready to use it. It can be there for as long as you want it to. Or place it in a cloth and store it away in a place you keep your crystals. Wrap it up and put it away.

So I hope you found this post useful. If you have any questions please let me know and I will answer! Hope you al have a very good day!

Crystal Blessings!

Astrology News

Good afternoon readers!

So from Jan. 21st- 27th, we are moving from Capricorn into Aquarius energy. These are the energies of rebellion. That is going to seep through to you. It is also a good time for change. This change could be bad or good! Make sure you approach it carefully.

For the next 3 weeks Mercury will be in favor which means time may feel slower than usual and your days may seem to slow down. This is the perfect time for reflection and taking a few minutes to think. Thinking about your life perhaps, what goals are you trying to achieve and the plan to accomplish your goals working or not? In the next 3 weeks, you will be able to figure some things out and rearrange to make a situation suit you better.

With Mercury retrogrades, that is the time of 2nd chances. You may that what didn't work for you in the past, may work for you now...whatever it may be.

With Venus being present, Venus will present to you the opportunity to make your changes. It's time to turn your doubts and "I cant" to "I can".

So some of the crystals to help with this week are:

Lithium Quartz, Kunzite, and Howlite - For staying calm and having a peaceful transition into the changes in your life.

Snowflake Obsidian, Lithium Quartz, and Malachite - For managing and balancing your emotions.

Selenite - To keep everything peaceful

I hope you enjoyed this post and if you found any other crystals that worked for you, please share!

Crystal Blessings!

Full Moon Tonight 1/20/15

Hello everyone!


Just thought that I would point out that it is going to be a full moon tonight. When  there is a full moon, that is the perfect time to put you stones, minerals, and crystals outside to charge in the moon light! You can also sit them on your windowsills where the moonlight is shining in! I have all my crystals ready to go. I have some outside on my front and back porch, as well as some on my windowsill!! If you have tarot cards and oracle cards, now is also the time to put hem in the moon light to charge as well! I've got mine out too! So I hope everyone reads this before the night is over so that you can charge you stones and cards in some good and positive energies!
Hope everyone has a great night!




Crystal Blessings,

Why Your Crystals Break and What You Can Do With Them

Good Evening Readers!


I do realize that I am usually on late at night but, what can I say!? I'm a night Owl. So for tonight I am going to talk about why your crystals might break and what you can do with them.


To start, crystals can break due to their being a crack already within them and eventually, as time goes on , the crystal cannot hold themselves together any more and they just break. Another reason is that maybe you have dropped it a few times and you may not see the crack on the surface of your stone but, instead it forms in the stone itself. Another reason is that your energies may not mesh well together. Let me explain, sometimes a stones energy is too strong for ours and when we try to work with it, the stone builds up so much strong energies that, they need relieve themselves of that energy in some way so, they simply break and crack. Stones will not always work well for us. Someday's my combination of fluorite, hematite, clear quartz, sodalite, and citrine are too much for me. These are the stones I have with me when doing work on my book I am writing. Sometimes the combination works wonders and sometimes it does not and I have to get rid of the ones that I feel may be overpowering my energies and giving me headaches. This means that those stones are not working well with my energies and I have to cleanse them so that they do not feel they have to break or crack. Then I bundle them up and put them away in my meditation room where I store my stones and crystals.


When my stones do break, I always feel that it is for a reason and that reason TO ME is that they feel they need to multiply to give me many ways of working with them. Perhaps they break to tell me to spread them around my house for protection. Maybe they feel they need to relieve all the energies. Whatever you feel the reason is for you crystals to break, that is the reason! Always go with what first comes to mind when you notice that they have broken. I for the life of me cannot wear crystal jewelry unless it is citrine or fluorite. They always bust on me. When that happens I feel that it is best to just let them guard my home outside in my plants. They love being outside in the soil. Plus, they are always charging and cleansing when outside!


So when yours breaks, you can do what I do or you can use them in your home as home décor. You can put them in little bowls and just fill it with tiny crystal chips, you can put them surrounding a candle in a safe and big enough candle holder, or you can buy cute little different shaped glass jars and collect them and put them in there. Michaels Craft Store has a lot of those if you have that store around where you live! There are many things that you can use the little pieces for! Just be creative! At the same time, you are benefiting still from the chipped pieces! Whether it be bringing loving energies or banishing negativity from you home. Just be sure that you cleanse them!


Ok so I hope you enjoyed this post. If you have any questions or wish that I post about something specific, please let me know in the comment area below and I will be sure to read it! Hope everyone has a great night and crystal blessings!

This Weeks Astrology News

Good Evening Readers! Hope everyone a fabulous day!

I thought that I would share this healing crystals blog with blogs about astrology. I will be posting one every week! So here is this weeks astrology news!

Through January 14th - 20th, Mars and Saturn will be sending lots of energies and vibrations our way to earth. You may encounter lots of frustrations and lots of different annoying situations will come to surface. So please take some time to stay calm and think of the best and safe ways to deal with those frustrations and situations. What strategy will you implement to help you stay calm and feel better focused? Don't let the energies take over you and rush you into doing things.

On Sunday, Jupiter and Venus's energies will be favor and start taking over with their energies, causing us to feel more emotional than normal. It might cause us to react to things and situations more on an emotional level. Please take a moment  before starting you day to tell yourself to stay clear minded and grounded. Emotions are running through everyone, have patience with yourself and other's.

Tuesday, Uranus and the moon will take over with their energies. Tuesday is going to be a bit crazy. You may find yourself acting out a bit  and doing and saying things that you normally wouldn't. So have your stones for the week in a grid to help ground you and keep you calm, or you can wear them or have them near you. Make sure to keep a level head on your shoulders and be aware. Control yourself.

So here are some crystals to help you through you week:
Any grounding stone is great. Carry either a hematite, black onyx, black tourmaline, or garnet.
Any calming stones is also great. Carry either blue lace agate, rose quartz, or selenite.

Hope everyone has a great night and tomorrow.
Crystal Blessings!

How Healing Crystals Work

So for some of you who are just getting started with crystal healing, you have probably wondered how it is that crystals are able to help us. They do not move or have arms to physically help us. This is true haha! What allows crystals to help us is how their vibrations, frequencies, and energies effect us. Here is the thing, we are all connected. We are influenced energetically by just about everything and everyone. This is because of our non crystalline structure. We do not form the way crystals, stones, and minerals do. We are very different from crystals in the way that we are functioning and how we are created. We all give off vibrations and receive vibrations. Vibrations move from the dominant oscillatory rate (DOR) when ever we experience anything stressful. Our cells and organs have their DORs as well. Because of our DORs, lots of things like other vibrations and energies can interrupt our energy field which causes a reaction. Crystals have great geometric structure and their DORs are 100% balanced. So when we are working with our crystals, stones, and minerals, we lean on their balanced vibrational frequencies and because of that, we absorb them. We already have the ability to vibrate and heal at the right frequencies because our cells do. They are looking to oscillate with the right frequencies. So when we hold the correct stone in our hand and ask it to please lessen the feeling of being nauseated, if we sit and just hold that stone in our hand for a few minutes feeling its vibrations and feeling them sink into to our bodies, and as you meditate and focus on the stone helping you with your nausea, the stones energies will eventually balance your energies out and cause you to feel less nauseated. You have to take a few moments though and with the correct stone that has the energy and vibrations that can balance you.

You are probably thinking, how do you know what stones, crystals, and minerals to use. Well if you explore on that a little and tae time to go to a mineral and crystal store or metaphysical store, and just take time feeling each stone in your hand you will know. If you feel a stone is giving you a headache then maybe their vibrations are too high for you and the energy is too strong. Then you know that that stone, on that day anyway, doesn't balance your energy. Try another one and the moment you feel a stone is making you happy, maybe feeling loving energy, or making you feel comfort, then that stone works for you. Try going on a day that maybe you have a headache. Go through the stones and see which one lessens you pain. That is a way of figuring out which ones work for you. Lapis Lazuli works for me when I have a headache. You can also look online and see what stone are known to do what. That may be a good way of getting started.

Hope this post was able to help you understand a little of the science behind healing crystals and hope that some of you share with me what crystals, stones, or minerals work best for you!

Crystal Blessings!

My intro to healing crystals......May not be a very good one... :)

Hello everyone!

This is my first blog ever!! How many of you are just starting a blog as well? The purpose of this blog to help spread the love about healing crystals and how they can help us with our everyday lives. For some of you, you know what I am talking about and for others, you are probably thinking "healing crystals? You mean rocks from the ground can helps us?" Yes I must admit that sounds not very interesting however, it is! Not many people know that crystals, stones, and mineral have abilities to help us with all kinds of situations in our lives. When we feel sad, they can help us to feel comfort, when we have a headache, they can help to lessen the pain, when we cannot concentrate on work or home work or whatever, they help us to focus and concentrate, when we feel too negative, they can help to bring in light, positivity, and get rid of the negative energies. They can do a lot for us!

So my blog will go in deeper on the subject as time goes on and you will learn more and more as you read. I hope to be on at least 3 times a week. You will learn about certain healing crystals and stones and minerals, their abilities and so on. You will also learn and read about pendulums, tarot and other stuff that involve crystals! Again, I will try to be on as much as I can. I have a 2 year old son and he has speech and motor skills therapy sessions every week. Then I am about to graduate college (yippy!) so I am finishing up my last couple classes and that takes some of my time as well. And last I am working on my first book! About healing crystals so, hope to get that done as well and hope to get it published! So I have a few things going on but I will do my best to be on here.

If you have any stories about working with healing crystals and you would like to share your experiences, please share! I would love to read them! Also if you happen to have questions, please ask and I hope I can answer them!  I love talking about crystal healing! Talk to everyone soon!

Crystal Blessings!
