Quartz Crystal

The power of this New Years Eve full moon/blue moon, can help us to get clear and focus on what we want to bring into our lives for the New Year. What a great opportunity we have this Thursday.

Full moon is a great time to energetically clear and cleanse your crystals and gemstones.The energy of the moonlight washes away anything that is no longer needed. I like to leave my stones out all night and into the next day so they can be charged by the light of the sun. The day before the full moon and the day after are also acceptable times to cleanse your stones. You can place them directly on the ground or put them on a soft cloth and lay them on a table where the moonlight will shine brightly onto the stones. Even if you live in a cold climate, you can place you stones by a window so that they will get flooded with the glowing white light of Grandmother moon.
I often find that after I have placed my crystals in the moonlight, they have a brighter glow to them, shining, radiating and ready to be of service. All color gemstones can be cleansed by the moon too.

On New Years day take the stones and sit with them. Just sit, breathe and reflect. See yourself anew, with a fresh start. Now bring your attention on what you would like to bring in for the New Year.

If you are having trouble focusing on what intentions you’d like to set for 2010, check to see if you have Hematite or any black stone in your collection. Stones like Hematite are grounding stones and they can help you to focus your thoughts and desires. When we are grounded we are able to focus our thoughts, desires, dreams and intentions. There is great power in our ability to create when we are focused. If you have set yourself a New Year’s resolution, but begin to feel it slipping past you, maybe you need to be more grounded and focused on your resolution/intention. Using the gemstone Hematite will offer you this grounding energy. When we’re not grounded we tend to be spacey, we can’t concentrate or focus attention for very long. One thought after another swirls in our mind. This will prevent us from creating the very thing we are wanting. Holding a Hematite stone will help you find the mental clarity and focus you need to achieve your desires. While holding the stone, begin to think of what it is you are wanting, continue to feel the stone in your hand and visualize what your desired outcome will be. Stay with this for 5-10 minutes, always coming back to the stone in your hand when your mind begins to stray. I find it helpful to write down the intention, using as much description as I can, getting clearer and clearer in my desire while holding the hematite. Connect to the emotion of the desire

Let 2010 be the year you focus on self awareness and well being. While it’s nice to set intention on the outside world of needs and wants, its time to go deeper and look at our lifestyle choices. Are you choosing a healthy life? Focus on setting intentions that will offer you well being.

Here are some gemstones that can help bring specific intentions into your life.

If you’d like to bring a Meditation practice into your life, work with Amethyst

Make 2010 your year of Healing, choose a green stone like Aventurine

To bring more Abundance into your life, choose Citirne

Need help with your Exercise program, choose orange Carnelian. This gemstone can energize and stimulate you to get moving.

Is this the year to start that creative project? Choose a blue stone like Lapis or Sodalite, they open up expression and creativity.

For bringing in Love, choose Rose Quartz or any pink stone, to keep the heart open to love.

Connect to your Soul, inner guides and the Divine, choose the clear stones, like Quartz, Selenite, Apophyllite or Nirvana Quartz.

So whatever it is you’d like to bring into your life this New Year, there is a gemstone that can assist you in setting your intention. All things are possible.

The New Year is a wonderful time to have a Crystal Reading. Take a look at what 2010 may bring. For more information on Crystal Readings or to learn more on how crystals can help you in your life,

Tips For A Relaxing Holiday Season Using Crystals & Gemstones

Crystals & Gemstones For the Holidays

During the holidays it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the parties, shopping and busy activities of the season. This year the best gift you can give your friends and loved ones is a healthy, relaxed YOU! If you truly want to enjoy this special time of year, give yourself some self nurturing.
Crystals and gemstones can help you stay calm, centered and focused during this stressful time of year.
Here are some ways to use Crystals & Gemstones to help you stay in the holiday spirit of love, joy and happiness.

1. Stay focused. We lose so much of our energy when we aren’t clear and focused on the project at hand. Instead of multi-tasking, give yourself the joy of focused attention. If you are having trouble staying focused, try using a Hematite or wear a Hematite necklace or bracelet.
Hematite is know as a grounding stone. Its also a stone to calm the mind. It can help us to sort things out and calm the racing mind. It helps with memory retention and is useful while writing. It also assists in dissolving negativity as it can transform the negative to a more pure state of love.
So, when you notice your mind racing around, reach for a Hematite and feel yourself grounded and focused.

2. Ask for help. Sometimes just simply letting others know you need assistance in all the preparations can relieve the pressure and feelings of doing too much. If you are having trouble speaking up and asking for help, reach for a blue gemstone like Sodalite. Sodalite can help you gently and calmly speak “your truth“, that is to come from you heart and express your needs to others, before frustration grabs a hold of you. No need to hit your melting point, speak up!

3. Rest. Make sure you are getting the correct amount of sleep that your body needs. It’s easy to fall into erratic sleeping patterns with parties, travel, preparation, and other seasonal events. If you find it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep try sleeping with the gemstone Petalite. Petalite can take us to a dimension of rest and healing, to a space in which worries and concerns of this world are released.

4. Remember to Breath. When you catch yourself holding your breath in stressful situations, remember to take a few deep breaths. Breath in clean fresh air to rejuvenate yourself, and exhale out stress. In stressful situations we have a tendency to breathe shallow. This can increase anxiety in our mind and body.
Choose a Quartz Crystal as a reminder to breath throughout the day. Place it in your pocket, purse, near your desk, in the kitchen, wherever you will be. Every time you look at the crystal, stop and take a few deep breaths. Remember to take it with you where ever you go throughout your day. If you can, place several crystals in all the rooms of your house, car and office. Just breathe!

5. Nurture yourself. Remember to take care of yourself with relaxing music, a evening bath, some quiet time. Use a Rose Quartz as a reminder to love and nurture yourself. Rose Quartz is known as the “Stone of Love”. Before we can love another, we must first learn to love ourselves. Before we can give to others we must first take care of ourselves.

6. Stay cool, calm and collected with Fluorite. Fluorite is my all time favorite stone for staying centered in stressful situations. It has a cooling energy that helps us maintain our calm. Reach for the cooling vibrations of Fluorite when you know you will be in situations that will challenge you.

7. Meditate. It’s a known fact that meditation can help reduce stress, lower our heart rate and create peace within us. Choose a purple Amethyst to assist you in meditation. Amethyst is known as a stone of Spirituality and helps us to sit in meditation. Give yourself the gift of meditation this holiday season and bring peace into your heart, mind and spirit.

May your holiday season be filled with fun, laughter, joy and RELAXATION!

On Saturday July 25th I will be in Pagosa Springs, CO at Satori Boutique offering crystal readings from 10 am to 5 pm at the INTUITIVE ARTS FESTIVAL.

Crystal readings are similar to other forms of readings, like Tarot. A person chooses 3 gemstones from my bag of stones by feeling for an energy connection with the stone. I begin to focus on the crystal’s energy and it’s specific meaning. I will share information on how that energy can help in your everyday life. The stones offer messages and are tools to assist us in bringing balance to our lives.

During a reading, crystals provide information and insight that may help answer questions about love, career, happiness or any other area of daily life.

Each semi-precious gemstone radiates a different energy and has it’s own unique vibration. The way the stones resonate with you helps you learn about yourself , as well as helps you to identify what is going on in your life and what needs healing and balancing. Crystal readings are a great way to get clarity on any issues you are experiencing. Crystal readings can also help you to know what crystals you should wear or carry at this time to assist you in improving any situation. A Crystal reading can help you release energy blockages and bring healing and balance back to your life.

My intent is to offer an opportunity to gain clarity and insight into the questions and issues that are present in your life through the use of crystals and gemstones. Crystal readings are a fun and light-hearted way of experiencing the energy of the mineral kingdom.

I will also be selling my assortment of hand selected, high energy Crystals, Gemstones, and Jewelry. I have been buying and selling crystals and stones for more than 20 years. I’ve made great contacts with gemstones dealers from around the world. I look for the best quality, highest energy and fair prices. It is always so much fun to watch someone interact with a stone and know that they must have that stone. Feeling the stone’s subtle vibration, a connection to its energy is made, sometimes through a sensation, heat, coolness or just plain “knowing”

If you are in the 4 corners area please come join us. If you would like a reading by phone, please email me and I will contact you to set up an appointment. Debra@spiralsoflight.com
