Hi All,
Welcome to another week of Mystic Monday. Let’s kick
this week off by going over some dates.
Tuesday August 6th is the
New Moon. Remember the New Moon is for releasing things in your life that no
longer serve your highest good. No good boyfriend or girlfriend. Not only did
you kick his/her butt to the curb but now you need to kick their energy ties to
and this is the night that’s most powerful to cut ties. But, if you are letting
go of a loved one remember to do it out of love and not anger. You don’t want
that anger karma to come around and bite you in the hind end when you least
expect it. Worried about bills or your job? Again, this is the best night to
release all that worry and fear for your highest good.
If you are following the Celtic Tree Calendar,
Monday August 5th begins the Month of Hazel. This tree energy will
help you connect to Mother Earth and help you with personal growth.
Okay, with that out of the way, let’s get on with
this Monday’s topic.
Let’s talk Stones and Energy.
If you are going to start working with stones I
highly recommend the book, “Love is in the Earth” by Melody. This is one reference
book I purchased in 1998 and I can’t live without it because I keep coming back
to it for all sorts of information about crystals and stones for healing and
energy work. What I love is, the index is broken down by issue or thing that
you want to work on and then it lists all the pages that contain stones that
can help you with the problem. Now, the other thing I love about this book is
she includes your zodiac sign with the stone. So to make the energy more
powerful, you look up what you need help with and then make sure the stone is
under your birth sign. LOVE IT!
Now, I choose my stones by
1. What it is I’m working on,
2. Is there a color that is related to the issue I’m
working on because if there is I will use a stone that is of that color, and
3. How the stone feels when I hold it in my hand. I
always recommend you hold stones for a few minutes before you purchase them so
you can really get a feel for their energy and make sure it’s a good fit for
you. Then I will look to see if the stone falls under my sign. But, I don’t
limit my choice of stone based on my sign.
Okay, so what are some things to look for?
Red stones will help you with Root charka issues. Your
root chakra helps keep you connecting to the Earth. So grounding your energy,
basic survival needs along with feeling secure, family and controlling fear.
Orange stones will help with issues such as
reproductive problems, intestinal problems and issues with creativity, just to
name a few.
Yellow stones will help with self-esteem and stomach
problems, etc.
Green stones will help you with healing your energy
and releasing blocks. Because green is associated with the heart chakra, green
stones can help with circulatory issues.
Blue stones will help you with communications and
speaking your truths. Blue is the color of the throat chakra, so any issues
with the throat can be helped with blue stones.
Purple stones will help you connect with your
higher-self and wisdom.
White will help you connect with spirit and crown
chakra.
Now, I use stones to place on the chakras,
coordinating the colors with the charkas. I also use stones in a grid around
the body to help during meditations or healings. So start doing some research
and find out what it is you need help with and want to use stones with, and
then go shopping.
Remember though to clear the stones before you use
them.
More to come in the weeks ahead!
Have a great week.
Blessings All,
I have "Love is in the Earth" and it is an excellent reference but since I have the hardbound version that encompasses all the volumes it is much too bulky to cart around with me to events. I have since found "The pocket book of stones" by Robert Simmons. This is a great little guide that pretty much covers everything about a stone and has info on stones I had never even heard of and I have been a collector my whole life. I highly recommend this book for anyone who works with crystals and needs a guide out in the field.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to tote my books to events. I have two that I found and keep on my phone to look up signs. Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmner and then the Angel Number app from Doreen Virtue. I had an app for my iphone but since I switched to the Samsung 4s I have not found one I like. So if anyone has an app they like for on the go looking up stones let me know. Blessings. "The Love is in the Earth" is a great book I keep at home to reference. I'll have to check out "The Pocket book of stones". Blessings.
