USING CRYSTALS AND/OR STONES IN YOUR MEDITATIONS

Early in my awakening I felt a connection to crystals and stones.  I would visit a local metaphysical store and just let my intuition and senses see what might be calling to me on that particular day.  I really didn’t look to see what the properties were. I just purchased what I was drawn too. The more my soul opened up, the more I would feel called to connect with certain stones.  

I finally began to connect even more and began identifying my collection.  I was truly amazed at how my collection had the exact properties that I had needed during various periods of awakening and healing.  I have developed a practice of letting my collection speak to me when I am setting up a grid for meditation. Today as I pulled from my collection, I was again in awe of my selection.  We are here at the beginning of 2021 and a specific energy is definitely prevalent. Let’s see just what called to me today and I will share a picture of my grid.

I normally always have two specific stones included in most of my grids: selenite and lapis lazuli.

Selenite is a calming stone that instills deep peace and is excellent for meditation or spiritual work. It assists judgement and insight. It clears confusion and aids in seeing the deeper picture. Selenite aligns the spinal column and promotes flexibility.  *Located at the top of the grid

Lapis lazuli assist with mental healing and emotional powers.  Lapis Lazuli carries positive energy and can strengthen the mind, helping its wearer to overcome issues relating to trauma, depression or grief. It can help its wearer to declutter their mind, think more clearly and bring about inner hope and courage.  Lapis Lazuli boosts the immune system, purifies blood, lowers blood pressure, cooling and soothing areas of inflammation. It alleviates insomnia and vertigo, and overcomes depression. The energy of lapis lazuli can also help a person become more aware of, and consequently easily access and express his or her truth. Lapis lazuli activates a life of more intelligence, success, and an unshakable inner balance and power that is rooted in ancient connections. ***Lapis is what I call “my stone,” it was the first to call out to me.  I have learned since this was because of past life experiences with this stone. (A story for another time) *Lapis is at the center of my grid. You will see a skull made of lapis. This actual piece is from the Crystal Skull collection. 

Red Goldstone is said to be the stone of  Confidence and ambition, encouraging motivation and drive.  It encourages a positive attitude and it is an uplifting stone.  Goldstone is said to promote vitality, and help to lift anxious people to a happier mindset.  Goldstone’s sparkle comes from flecks of copper set in glass. The colour red is always associated with the root chakra.  In physical healing it has the same attributes as copper helping soothe conditions of the joints and reducing stomach complaints stemming from anxiety.  Goldstone is a stone of inspiration, and even a warrior stone, for its ability to transmute lofty ideas into physical manifestations of power. *This is the top stop in the cross pattern.

Shiva Lingam are a sacred stone of the Indian Hindu religion, that will intensify the vitality and level of pranic energy within your body. It will improve your overall health and these stones are powerful as they stimulate the energy system of the entire body, and will aid an overall improvement in your health and well-being.  Shiva Lingams awaken the Kundalini energy at the base of our spine and have the potential to foster a powerful awakening experience as the energy travels up each Chakra and out through the Crown. Shiva Lingam's boost vitality and provide courage and strength to overcome our deepest fears. *Located below the lapis skull. 

Red Jasper is gently stimulating and also an extremely protective stone. It can neutralise radiation and other forms of environmental and electromagnetic pollution. Red Jasper rectifies unjust situations and grounds energy. Brings problems to light and provides insights into difficult situations.  Red Jasper is said to increase emotional stamina, self confidence, self-trust, emotional protection, courage, balance, calm and relaxation. Red Jasper can also be used for increasing memory of dreams and also increasing sexual vibrancy. *This is at the bottom of the cross pattern.

Unakite Jasper brings together the abundant, nurturing energy of green with the soft, caring passion of pink in one of Nature's most healing crystals of the heart and mind. It resonates with the frequency of love, compassion and kindness, and is a stone dedicated to balancing the emotional body.  Unakite is a stone of vision. It balances emotions with spirituality. Unakite provides grounding when needed. It facilitates rebirthing, gently releasing conditions that inhibit spiritual and psychological growth. *Located to the right on the arm of the cross pattern.

The most important property of the Crazy Lace Agate is its ability to induce joy. It has been called the Happiness Stone because of its uplifting energy. Positive vibrations in the crystal are very effective at the elimination of pessimism.

I hope this will spark you to consider using stones and/or crystals in your meditations some time.  I use them also when I do in person healing sessions. I will see what Spirit directs me too then lay the stones in the area that I can feel healing is needed.  

Hope you enjoy,
