HOWLITE- Discernment and Reason

Element: Wind

The stone of logical function and rationality   Calms and focuses the mind to foster clarity, discernment and reason so that you may form a more realistic view when it comes to making the best choices moving forward. This ally points you within and illuminates your inherent co-creative abilities. It spotlights the hows and whys of one’s behavior.

 

BLUE TIGER EYE- Balance and Insight

Element: Fire

Offering discernment and clarity, tiger eye allows you to objectively see both sides of the coin. It balances the yin and yang within everything.   It grounds excess fire energy and emotions.

 

ALMONDINE GARNET-Grounding, prosperity

Element: Earth

Garnet is an excellent ally in reestablishing your energetic bond with Mother Earth!    In reconnection with the Earth, garnet lovingly nourishes and energizes the root chakra, thus allowing a reconnection with oneself. One can also feel a renewed awe and appreciation for the natural world around them.  Kindles the heart chakra and clarifies its aspirations…helping you to bring your desires into the physical with joy.We are ALL deserving of prosperity and abundance! We warrant the bounties of the Earth, the infinite love of the Divine and everything in between! We need only be the conductors of the energies that manifest into what fills our souls. Reconnect, regenerate, realize and RECEIVE!

 

...and a wee quartz skull! -The healing symbolgy of crystal skulls bears little resemblance to creepy death references one may equate to them! They are a tool for awakening human consciousness. The carved skull shape of stones and beads intensify and amplify the power of intention.  These little quartz cuties have a sweet yet wise energy.  Like an ancient wise-woman or man who has come full cirlce back to their origional child-like joy and wonder!

 

Black Lava with its porous surface, makes a wonderful diffuser for essential oils! Just a drop or two of oil on the bead will allow for an intimate and therapeutic release of aroma!  I often include at least one in my malas…placed randomly up by the neck so its warmth activates the scent!

As always, I encourage you to view these descriptions of the properties of crystals as a general guideline ONLY. The healing properties of crystals, intuited by many different cultures around the world, have been passed down through the ages. Modern mystics have taken these teachings and put their own anecdotal interpretations on them as well. The descriptions below are a conglomeration of this subjective information as well as of my own experience with crystals in both my healing and meditation practice. BUT…how a crystal or stone effects a person is completely individual to THAT person! While many people do experience similar effects from certain crystals and stones, what a crystal presents to you may be completely different from how it presents to someone else. Get to know the energy of your mala, crystals, and/or stones and how it informs YOU by working with them consciously.
