That's where the Beauty and Balance of Nature can be a Blessing to us.

In this blog, we explore how to incorporate crystals into our daily self-care practices. May you find helpful tips and clear examples to guide you on your journey.
Understanding Crystals and Their Energies
Crystals are a wonderful manifestation of Mother Earth's intrinsic creative potential, true gifts to humanity in so many ways. Crystals are thought to express unique vibrational frequencies that can interact positively with our own energy. Crystals are made from a complex array of minerals from Earth's elemental crust. Each crystalline structure has its own individual energy, color or color spectrum, and associated characteristics. They are revered for their diverse array of metaphysical capabilities, although some are also studied for their scientific applications such as advanced medical healing technology, energy storage and transfer (semiconductors, microchips, solar cells, radio transmitters), as well as for food preservation. We invite others to explore the mineral kingdom, and to experience for themselves all of the ways in which one can work with these beautiful elemental aspects to bring more Health and Harmony to all Life.
Crystals have a naturally stable energy frequency due to their self-organizing, harmonic geometry of molecules. Crystals that have a self-replicating crystalline lattice structure similar to Quartz, tend to also emit stable harmonic frequencies as well as demonstrate piezoelectric ability (the capacity for ionic acceleration/generation of heat or energy). This capacity to accelerate ions at stable harmonic frequencies is what allows crystals and Orgone to generate Life Force Energy. Due to their stable harmonic energy amplifying abilities, Crystals and Orgone/Orgonite are great for us to work with when the goal is healing, manifestation, or communication.
Choosing the Right Crystals for Your Unique Goals
Choosing the right crystals for your unique goals and desires in Life is crucial to enhancing your self-care rituals. Here are a few Master Healer crystals and their potential benefits:
Amethyst: Amethyst has been a symbol of peace, purity and unification and can aid in bringing serenity and calmness. It is deemed “nature’s tranquilizer” by many healers. Many people use amethyst to promote more restful sleep. It is also commonly used to relieve headaches, nightmares, as well as general edginess. Amethyst may have the ability to transmute lower energies into the higher frequency of the spiritual levels. It also clears the aura and stabilizes any dysfunctional energy located within one’s body and Sacred Space. It is a great stone for meditation, focusing, and studying.
Rose Quartz: Known as the stone of Unconditional Love, is great for promoting Self-Love and emotional healing. It’s particularly powerful during meditation or quiet reflection, however placing this stone in any space can offer gentle support of its healing essence and frequency. Research indicates that those who practice Self-Love may experience an increase in overall happiness and wellbeing. When we Love ourselves, we set a Loving foundation for all of our relationships in Life.
Citrine: Citrine is a sun-colored stone which is known for it ability to promote success, prosperity, and abundance. It is called the “merchant’s stone” and has been used in the past by many to ensure positive flow of interaction for business purposes. Citrine may also assist in alleviating tension and increasing energy flow throughout the body. It is thought to have a positive influence on one’s mood, and therefore may bring more happiness and optimism one’s Spirit. It is also reported my many users of Citrine that their problem-solving abilities are improved with close connection to this stone.
Clear Quartz: Often referred to as a Master Healer, this crystal amplifies our energies and intentions. It is versatile and ideal for enhancing clarity and focus. It is said to harmonize and balance our energy field, as well as the energy of the local environment due to the ability of quartz to produce a field of negative ions, which are actually benevolent, whereas positive ions are known to be malevolent for our health. Crystal quartz has been researched for synchronizing both halves of the brain, which may improve our ability to both receive as well as share or communicate information with others. Psychic abilities are often amplified as well with consistent use of Quartz. Quartz is a wonderful crystal for including in a Self-Care ritual, because of its potential to bring out our own Unique Essence, Energy, Intentions, and Manifestations.
Lapis Lazuli: This deep blue stone is known for fostering wisdom and self-awareness. It works wonders for flow of creation and self-expression during journaling, introspective activities, or while speaking to others. Many writers claim that keeping Lapis lazuli nearby helps them unlock their Inner Truth and creative flow.
Green Aventurine: This lovely green stone is known for bringing Balance of Mind, Body, and Spirit, as well as Abundance in Life. It is often associated with the Heart Chakra, evoking feelings of peaceful healing emotions and harmony in our relationship with Self and others. Aventurine is a wonderful stone for incorporating into Self Care or Healing Rituals, as its essence is in perfect resonance with Nature's most Powerful Healing Frequencies.
By aligning our intentions with the properties of these crystals, we can Revitalize our journey of Self-Care.
