My Experience With My Amethyst Skull

Good Afternoon everyone,

So I just wanted to share my recent experience with my first crystal skull. As I've said in a previous post on crystal shapes, skulls help with communicating with your ancestors. I did in a dream while sleeping with my skull. However, I was unable to speak to him. Communication is more difficult in dreams lately for me. I know it was an ancestor because he was Native American. I hope next time I am able to communicate with him so that I can get some questions answered.

Have any of you used a crystal skull and was your communication successful? I would like to hear about it!

Hope everyone has a great day! Crystal Blessings!

Himalayan Ion Salt Crystals

Good evening readers,

I would like to share with everyone my excitement on my purchase of 2 very beautiful Himalayan Ionic Salt Crystal candle holders. It is my first time owning a Himalayan crystal and am stoked to own 2! I have down stairs and one upstairs in my home.

Himalayan crystals work as an air purifier. It helps to keep the space calm, peaceful, and also promotes relaxation. I have read that people find that these crystals tend to help them feel less stressed out after a long day. They can also bring in energies of creativity. Himalayan crystals are meant to be hot so the fact that they are made for lamps and candle holders is perfect. They work when they are surrounded with heat. That helps them to also purify the air around you. It activates them. So when not using the crystal with heat, it is best to place a coaster or some kind of place mat underneath it, keeping it from touching your home appliances. They will tend to get amp or a little wet. Place a plastic bag over it to keep it from humidity.

Himalayan crystals emit negative ions which naturally will refresh the air. Activating you crystal with heat will increase the negative ion count to about 600% !

These crystals are found in millions of year old mountains in the Himalayas. They are hand carved  out of the mountains and were first shared with to those in Europe, then as time went on, shared with the rest of the world. They have always been popular in Europe.

I hope you enjoyed this post! If you are thinking about getting this crystal I suggest that you do! It not only helps to calm you but it just looks pretty and is a very nice and glowing decoration. So with crystalhealing, this is Jennifer! Talk to you all soon!

Crystal Blessings,

Jennifer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 



Astrology Update

Good evening everyone,

So as I was doing research on what has passed and what will be happening in the astrological calendar, I found it giving me some pretty good but weird vibes. It was interesting learning about what will come. So let me share:

On Feb. 18th, the sun had moved into Pisces (the last sign of the zodiac). Pisces (my sign) brings in energies of remembrance and reflection. I did find myself and still am, thinking about what has happened in my life and what hasn't but what I want to happen. It was also time to take it easy and relax and think about what is coming up in your life.

The new moon which happened about a couple days ago kind of did something that what I understood, was not normal. It went decided to be in the sign of Aquarius again! And at the same time, it was a super moon.

On Feb. 27th, there will be a Jupiter and Pluto transit. This will make you question (once again) if what you want is actually right for you. It will make you think. You may even make changes to your plan on what it is that you wanted but may not want them anymore because you are not sure if they are right for you. It could also be a set back on any goals but do not let that frustrate you. Keep positive and keep going. Reach for success.

March 3rd Jupiter and Uranus will be in a trine. This is great positive energy! Use it and benefit from it! Uranus and Jupiter are both opportunist and  risk takers. They encourage you to leap up and get things going and staying positive. Great energy to work with.

On march 5th, there will be a full moon and in the sign of Virgo. I like Virgo energy  because it is very practical and it helps you to create plans on  how to reach your dreams. Virgo is about succeeding and that is what you will feel.

March 16th Uranus and Pluto will be in a square. This is going to be the last of the 7 squares between Uranus and Pluto which began in 2012. This energy may bring out some crazy and maybe even creative ideas. Follow your instincts! It could be good for you! You know researching about this last square made me realize that in 2012 I had made a crazy decision. I had changed my life for ever and made a huge leap forward although in some way felt like a step back. It felt scary but it felt right. It felt like I shouldn't be branching out on my own yet but, I did anyway and followed my instincts. Something that I would not normally do, I did it anyway. It turned out to be a blessing! It was something that I grew from and learned from and in return, shaped me into the strong person I am today. I married right out of high school and moved from Texas to another state! Not even a year later I found out I was pregnant. I wouldn't take it back ever! I thank God everyday for what he has given me and what he has not.

So with that being said, this square may push you to act on your instincts and take a risk and bring crazy ideas. Try it! It could be a blessing!

So some crystals that could be used in a grid or carries are:

Any crystal that really shows what Pisces is. Like an Aquamarine would be perfect!

Any crystal that would help you focus on yourself, like a fluorite or amethyst

Any crystal for bringing strength and success, like a tigers eye or amazonite

Any crystal that helps you to be practical, like just about every jasper.

Any crystal that helps you with positive thinking, like a blue kyanite

Any crystal for courage, fearlessness, cleverness, and to help you want to try something new, like a Lapiz Lazuli

So I hope you enjoyed this post and for jenniferscrystalhealing.BlogSpot.com/ this is Jennifer and I will talk to everyone soon!

Crystal Blessings!

Angels and Spirit Guides

Good evening everyone,

I found some time to spare before bed to do a post for you. I thought this time I would talk about communicating with angles, your guardian angels, spirit guides, etc. First of all, I think that it is a lot easier than everyone thinks because what we do not realize is that, angles want to communicate with us when we are in need of some guidance and help. When you are praying at night before bed and asking your guardian angle to listen and help you, they are. Same if you pray to spirit guides and arch angles. They are there and they are listening.

So ways that you can communicate with them besides praying is by using pendulums. This is a good way if you really want to know the details of your angel. You can ask their name and allow the pendulum to spell out the name of your guardian angle or spirit guides. If you decide to do this ad you know how to use a pendulum then, please make sure that you ask for them to spell out their name giving you the letters in order. Otherwise they can be giving you the letters but all mixed up.

Another way of communication are dreams. I do this! I bring to bed the crystal that attract angles like amethyst, angelite, celestite, selenite, or seraphinite. I do not use them all at once. I'll use a couple and either place them under my pillow or by my bed side. I set their intention of asking them to help me communicate with my spirit guides through my dreams. Then that's it. I'll sit with them for a while in bed just closing my eyes and over again asking the crystals to please do what I ask. You can do it this way as well.

Another way of communication is by meditation. I have a heard time meditating for a long period of time so, dreams help me more but if you are good at meditating then by all means try it this way and using the crystals that I mentioned to help with your communication. You can add any other crystals that you feel help with this too.

I know that some people want to communicate with arc angles. This is great! One thing that I like to do in my bed room or whatever space you feel is sacred to you is, make a grid. Let's say I want to communicate with the Arch Angle Michael. Then I would look up his information. For example, the color that is associated with him and find a candle that is that color. I would place that in the center of my grid or just by my grid. Then I would use about 2 or 3 crystal that are that color along with the crystals that attract angles and place them in my grid. Then I would add the clear quartz points in as well to amplify the intentions and communication. Try even looking up what oils and incense that are associated with that arch angel as well. That could help!  Do what you feel is best to you and the way you feel that you get better communication.

I hope that this post was helpful to some of you. If you liked it share it and like it! If you have questions, ask! Hope you all have a wonderful night and Crystal Blessings!!

Astrology News 2/18 - 2/24

Good evening readers!

So tonight I just want to really quick mention that this month is going to be a little difficult for me to post more than like 1 once a week because my last class for college just started and I have to be sure that I am focusing on that last class before I graduate! I need a lot of study time for this class and with a toddler, that can be a little challenging. So with that being said, let's move on with the astrology news for this week!! Please bare with me as I am new to reading astrology and it takes me time to understand what is going on and reading up on it lol!!

Wednesday: Sun and Pluto will be working together to increase your activity. It will allow you to feel productive and give you some drive. This is good considering before we had some energies that made us feel a little questionable about life and what you are doing in you everyday routine and such. For some of us that was a bit of an annoying and confusing time while others worked with those energies in a positive way and took the time to make some changes for the better, so these new energies of being proactive is really good. It can be a tie to kind of...start over and reorganize yourself.

Sunday: Mars and Venus will be working together. This will allow some creative energies to surface and you will find yourself using more of your imagination. So any dreams that you may have or thoughts, write them down and figure out how you can bring those dreams to life. How can you reach them? What steps should you take to get there? Figure it out.

Monday: Saturn/ Sun Square Transit
This will help you to recognize what is holding you back from reaching the goals that you want to accomplish, or recognize what is stuck between you and your success. I have a saying that I say a lot and is something I heard Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson say, "If there is something coming between you and your success, move it!" That is what you are going to need to do! Move it! get rid of it, especially if it is something that is negative. Don't let it make you nervous or feel fear from it. Stay calm and stand up for what you want. Have some self power!

So for the crystals that you can carry with you this week ( you can carry any other crystal that give you the same energies!):

For bringing success and abundance - Citrine or Pyrite

To help bring the light where it is dark - Rose Quartz or Clear Quartz

To help bring out your inner strength and stability - Iris Quartz, or Tigers Eye

So for jenniferscrystalhealing.blogspot.com, this is Jennifer and I will talk you all soon!

Crystal Blessings!

Seasonal Allergies and Crystals (SEASONAL ONLY)

Good evening everyone!

Sorry I have not been on in a few days. Just been very busy!

So today I am going to talk about seasonal allergies (only). Please note that any other allergies that you may have, so not think that you can just drop whatever medication that your doctor has prescribed you and only rely on the crystals!! This is a NO NO! The crystals are only meant to help assist you in decreasing you discomfort.

So those of you who are struggling with allergies at the moment like my son and I are, making an allergy grid would help or just carrying with you the crystals that help you work just as well too. I am going to list some of the crystals that can help. If you find that there is a crystal that I did not mention but helps you, then please keep using that one! This post is only a suggestion. :)

Carnelian: Boosts your immune system

Amethyst: Amethyst is like an overall healer for me.

Malachite: Allergies and colds.

Blue Lace Agate: Very calming stone. I find that it really relaxes me and sends me into this daze that you feel when you start to get sleepy. I like to use this not only to help calm my symptoms but also to help me feel relaxed and sleepy for when I have trouble sleeping. I sometimes even double up on the stone! Lol! It also good for the throat especially. I tend to find that my allergies start in my throat so I will use this stone and massage my throat while setting my intention and asking it to help me.

Any crystal that can help the throat area is good. For those who tend to find that their allergies effect that area fist before getting worse.

For these crystals, you can try making an allergy grid with them and having some clear quartz points surrounding the grid to help amplify you intention to help them with your discomfort.

My personal favorites are carnelians and blue lace agate. I find that they help me especially when paired together to help me.

So I hope that you found this post useful. If you have any questions just ask in the comment area below and I will do my best to help! Hope you all have a great day!

Crystal Blessings,
Jennifer

Astrology News 2/11/15 - 2/17/15

Good evening readers!

So this week seems like it could help us all out if we just learn to stay open, true. and positive. On Friday, mercury and Uranus will provide creative energies. Use this energy to your benefit! Have any work you have to get done, take this time to do it because you could bring in some creativity to it. Explore any passions you may have!

On Saturday (Valentines Day), take it slow because this day just always seems to cause people to feel uneasy with everyone's energies high in excitement. It might throw you off. Try to stay grounded and focused. Do not let it get to you!

Also, the sun/moon is in transit. The sun is suppose to represent your outer self and the moon represents your inner self. With them in transit together, you will be more aware of your inner feelings and will find yourself thinking about your needs. Your inner self will be in touch with your outer self. Try to stay positive and try to actually, try to benefit from the energies. If a good way to calm yourself is to work on a passion or yours, do it and express your creativity. (Hope that made sense).

Then on Tuesday, another transit, Cheron and Jupiter ill be working along side together. This will cause you to do more thinking and questioning the things you are doing or pursuing. Be open and listen to yourself. What are your true feelings and thoughts? If you feel you need to let go of something, then do it. These energies will help to open your eyes if you work with them in a positive way. This can help you to move forward  and better yourself and life perhaps.

So for the crystals that you should carry or other's like them:


Try to carry a Black Obsidian to help ground you. It also attracts positive energies and vibrations along with ridding of any negative energies. This stone can also help to bring your truths to the surface so that you face them in a positive way. Great for this week.

Then for commitment  and expressing  some creativity, try carrying a Tigers Eye.

Carry a Carnelian to help with focus and remind yourself that you always deserve to be happy. Carnelian just makes you happy!

I hope that you all found this post helpful and if you have any questions, please let me know.

P.S.

For those of you who would like to be able to do astrology news of your own or figure them out for yourself, try getting the book ASTROLOGY; A Cosmic Science by. Isabel M. Hickey This book helps me to find out what the coming week will be like. Take a shot and see what you come up with and share with me your experience. I would love to hear! It's always good to practice!

Different Shapes

Hello there readers,

So tonight I thought that I would talk about the different shapes that your crystals can come in. I will yahoo some pictures to show you as well.

Shapes:

• Sphere's
  
   
  

  
  

These are great in the center of a grid because the energies spread in all equal directions. They are an endless energy distributor.

• Pyramids

Great for directing energies for a specific purpose. Great for working with the third eye! The pyramid is almost like 2 hands coming together in prayer, so it is great for giving thanks to your angles and guides and God, or whoever you worship. Great to have by your bed side when praying. The prayer and energies are being directed to the heavens. Great to use in a grid also. The energies and intentions that you give the grid shoot straight up from the tip of each of the points.

• Towers and Obelisk

 These are also great for directing energies. They are both great for communication with high beings, spirit guides, angels. Think of them as satellites!

• Hearts

With the hearts, it is all about love, joy, and happiness. Great for placing in the bedroom for that loving energies and calming energies. It is great to place by your front door to ensure that only positive and loving energies enter. They are wonderful to use in attracting love grids or just wanting to feel loving energies. It is good to give to your children if you have them and to place in their room or to take with them to school so that they can feel more happy than gloomy. It can boost their spirits. It is also wonderful to use on the heart chakra. Try dabbing rose essential oil on it so that you amplify the spiritual work.

• Cubes

Cubes are great for grounding your energy. Think about it, it is hard to move a square. It is constantly standing still and on it own. It doesn't go anywhere. That is what grounding is all about.

• Coins/ Cabochons

 Both of these are nice to lay on yourself when you are lying down ad working on your chakras or for healing on the body. It can be emotional, physical, or spiritual healing.

• Skull

Skulls are good for working with your ancestors and past lives! It is great for the conscious when working with it. It can help when working with your intuition and cognitive works.

• Egg

Eggs represent fertility and rebirth. Great for placing in the middle of a fertility grid! Or just to place it in your bedroom if you are looking to have an advantage at getting pregnant. These are also great for pressure points and working with chakras if you purchase the smaller ones.

• Angles

Angles bring in the angelic energies and vibes into a room or in yourself. It connects you to the spiritual side and connects you to your guides. Great for asking them for guidance and protection. We can use angelic influence in just about anything. Try it!










Hope you enjoyed this post! If you would like to share with me your favorite shapes and why they are your favorite, please feel free to share. Hope you all have a great rest of the day or night and talk to you all soon.

Crystal Blessings,

Astrology News

Hello everyone!

(This is the last week that mercury will be in retrograde.)

Wednesday:
Sun and Jupiter are directly opposite of each other. They are in opposition so, they are in conflict with each other. These energies will effect you and may cause you to bring up something that may be really itching you. You may bring in conflict.

This energy is transformational. This means that change can happen very quickly. It can be a good thing or bad thing but, if you learn to work with it then, you can make it a good thing. Whatever your thoughts are on something specific, you may wake up Thursday feeling different about it and change your thoughts on it.

The sun is about what you have now and Jupiter is about expanding so, the sun wants you to keep what you have but Jupiter wants you to bring in new things, ideas, whatever it may be. You may be asking a lot of questions too, about yourself. What are you doing? What are you not doing? What is it that you want? Asking yourself these question or whatever questions you may have can actually open the door to finding out or realizing the answers.

This transit is good for seeing other ways to help you move forward from a situation or conflict. You most likely will feel tension and little jarry. Try to stay calm and positive and try your best to work with the energies so that you benefit from them. Ground yourself and think before you do. This can help you find ways to move forward.

Saturday:

Venus and Uranus will be working together. These two will bring energies of adventure and make you feel adventurous. Go out and have a safe and good time. Do something new!

Monday:

Venus and Cheron will be working together. Good time for healing whether it be emotional or spiritual. This can be an opportunity to deal with issues and allowing yourself to let it go.


Here are the crystals to carry with you this week:

For harmony and inner peace- Leopardskin Jasper or pretty much any other jasper.

For reminding you to love yourself and to take it easy on yourself, give yourself a break, and remembering to love others- Morganite "the love stone"

For grounding. confidence, will power, courage, and believing in yourself-  Any of the agates will work!

I hope this post was not too confusing and I hope that it is able to help you this week! Have a great night!

Breast Cancer....Touchy Subject For Me

Good afternoon readers,

So today I found some calming inspiration to write about my step mom. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and it is aggressive. Before I was not able to talk about it or even type about it without crying. Today with my crystals by my side to help bring me strength and inspiration, I was able to find it in me to talk  about it. I do not live near her nor could I just get up visit her anytime because we live in different states. I am worried about her everyday. She may not be my biological mom however, I feel like she is. I met her when I was only 6 years old. She also helped to shape me into the person I am today along with my mom, dad, and step dad. She is my parent and I love her and would do anything for her like I would my own mom. So with that said, I would like to take some time to share some crystals that help with breast cancer. If you have breast cancer please share your story with me! Are there crystals that tend to help you through treatments? Let me know because I would like to hear it.

If you are interested in hearing my step mom's story, here is the link:
http://www.lovecarefund.com/pearl-valadez.html

So for the crystals that help with those with breast cancer:

Smokey Quartz- Bring balance to the human body also animals. Rids of negative energies from the auras and brings them back to positive energies.
Rhodonite- Helps to sooth the aching and emotional body and helps to create flow, breaking any energy blockages.
Larimar- Helps increase the flow of energy in areas that are aching due to procedures done on the body. Reduces energy buildups due to the overgrowth of cells.

If you have breast cancer then you can work with these crystals or if you know someone with breast cancer, you can do distant healing from home by setting their intention to help that person. Please be sure to cleanse and charge your crystals before using them. You can create a grid  by putting a rose quartz heart as the center of the grid and then putting the smokey quartz, larimar, and rhodonite around the rose quartz heart. Then you have your grid. You can also include clear quartz points( I highly recommend this)  in the grid surrounding the center crystal so that you amplify the energies and the energies are stronger when reaching that person.

There are pictures below that I got from yahoo. This is so you know what they look like if you do not have them.

Hope you found this post helpful. Please share with me your story if you have one on breast cancer. If you have questions, just ask. Hope you all have a blessed day!

Crystal Blessings,

Jennifer
