The importance of crystals

Over the past couple months, I've been getting a bit more interested in crystals and how they can be used to help you in everyday life. Whilst using the Angel Therapy cards, one of the cards that popped out a lot months ago was crystals. I was to use crystals to help me with whatever I needed. I had no idea what crystal I was going to get, but the rule of thumb is go for the crystal you are most drawn to when you are in a crystal store. The stores will always have a description with each crystal about its properties and what it will help you with.

 I went to the Mind Body Spirit festival today with some mates and stocked up on some more crystals. I also introduced one of my friends to crystals for the first time so thought it would be a good idea to give a bit of a summary of some the crystals that I have and the properties that they have for your information.

Rose Quartz

Better known as the love stone, this stone is all about the heart.  It helps open yourself up to love (for yourself and others), it's about compassion and peace, and comfort. It is great for healing emotional wounds. 
Clear Quartz

 This is the most programmable stone ever meaning that you can essentially program the stone to do whatever you want. It's great at amplifying energies and has a very white light. For example, when I placed this clear quartz around my third eye and closed my eyes, I basically see white light. It is really powerful and is great for healing and balancing.
Angelite

 This beautiful stone is about peace and brotherhood, speaking your truth (i.e. throat chakra), compassion, protection, understanding, increases telepathy, unblocks energy pathways and helps you contact the angels.
Selenite

 This is a gorgeous stone and it helps you connect to angelic guidance and unblock stagnant energy. It also assists in reconciliation, mental clarity, peace and protection.

 Be careful though - don't get it wet. It disintegrates!
Amethyst

 This popular stone enhances wisdom and spirituality, brings pleasant dreams, assists in meditation, heals negativity, keeps your air and life force clean and positive and symbolises humility.
Lapis Lazuli

 This is great for opening the third eye and balancing the throat chakra. This stone is a good stone for enlightment, enhancing dreams and psychic abilities.
Pyrite (Fools Gold)

 This stone is stunning when you look at it. It's good for stimulating your intellectual powers and aids in memory recall (especially in terms of recalling certain information when you really need it).
Tiger's Eye

 This is a protective stone and helps keep you grounded. It works with the solar plexus chakra so it's all about personal power - self confidence, integrity, etc. It is said to be a stone of good luck as well - it brings in money! 
Laboradorite (Peacock Flash)

 This stone is such an eye catching stone! It's a great protective stone for deflecting lower energies from the aura. It also helps you to move from one spiritual realm to another - want to have a way to easily access your angels and higher spirit guides? This stone is the one for you.
Hematoid Quartz

 This is great for removing negative energy and transmutating it into the Divine light. It aids with vitality and boosts physical energy. Great for focus and concentration too.
Orange Calcite

 This is a great cleansing stone - especially for the Root and Sacral Chakras bringing positive energy to sexuality and will. It enhances creativity and assists with emotional issues.
Black Obsidian

 Now this is a stone I've been dying to get because it is such a powerful aura cleanser.  It repels negativity and protects you from psychic interference - just the stone that someone like me (a wannabe healer) needs! I have been told I'm extremely sensitive to energies and have "opened" myself up to receiving all these energies - good and bad. Hopefully this stone will help repel the bad!
Aventurine

 This is the lucky stone! It also increases your perception and creative insight and stabilises emotions. This is also a heart chakra stone.
Carnelian

This stone is a great energy booster, protects you from poverty and negative energy, helps you with a sense of humour and assists with inner strength.
So there you have it! The above stones are the ones that I have. I tend to put them under my pillow at night and/or keep them in my pocket or nearby when I go out. You need to remember to cleanse them once in a while - I either put them out in the sun for a couple of hours or chuck them in a bowl of rice and leave it overnight. I stay away from water in case the water kills them!

Your body is a temple - well not quite but close enough

Yesterday I had the really good fortune of attending a seminar held by renown mystic and medical intuitive, Caroline Myss. I only read her best selling book, the Anatomy of the Spirit, a few months ago and thanks to synchronicity, managed to sign up to a rare seminar she was holding in Sydney. As jet lagged as she was, Caroline exhibited the most wicked sense of humour I've seen and also had a really great way of explaining spiritual concepts. There's so much to tell you (and so many quotes to share), but let me start with the one analogy that really resonated with me: your body is a building. Essentially, if we think about the building being an apartment block, you'll see that it has a number of levels. The building as a whole doesn't "move" per se, it's the inside of the building that does. Are you with me so far? So now think about the building having 10 levels. Anyone living in the building would have a different view of the world depending on wh...

It pays to being open to receive

I would like this blog post to reiterate to you all the importance of being open to receive from the Universe, especially if you have asked the Universe for help. For me, the past week, I believe that this has been the main theme for me, especially as my reading from Angel Souls a few months back had advised me "to be open to suggestion" and to not be fixated on how I was going to achieve a certain outcome. Many of you know that I am a few weeks away from saying good bye to my law career and fully embracing my massage/healing career. For the months leading up to this stage, I was excited about what post-June would hold for me, but as I was coming into May, I was getting a lot more apprehensive about what I would be doing post-June as I hadn't really been proactively chasing any opportunities (and nothing really fell into my lap). You may recall a few months back I had applied for a massage job at a particular clinic that I could see would really lead me to achieve my ...

Seeing the positives from the negatives - it's a question of perspective

Today was my second last time at the student massage clinic. Next week will be my last for the trimester, and then a welcomed "break" <-- Not really a break, I'm going to a 2 day course in Melbourne in the 2nd weekend of December to further my skills in other areas and intend to use the next 3 months to read up on Anatomy Trains and Esoteric Anatomy - books that MM gave me months ago and I've barely touched the surface on. Anyway, I had two clients back to back this morning. At the end of each massage session, we seek feedback from the client. My first one wasn't the most complimentary, the second one was fine. When my supervisor told me that I had unfavorable feedback from a client, I had that shiver down my spine that I had referred to before. Essentially during the massage she kept asking me to apply more oil and then in her feedback she said that I could have gone faster on some areas of the body (fair point as I ended up missing her arms and neck). The t...
