Crystals for Healing Stress

Stress is unavoidable in any society and is a symptom of our inability or ineffectivenessto accept change as fast as it seems thrust upon us. We must adapt quickly todisappointments, shock and traumas, physical pain, and other tremendous emotional and

psychological imbalances in our environments. It isn't easy to keep up with the changes!

Crystals are particularly good at helping us adapt to changes in energy frequencies

created through stressful situations. There seems to be a crystal for every form of stress

including financial (Citrine), relationships (Rose Quartz) and burnout (Smokey Quartz).

Having a large crystal in a room can also help reduce stress, by reducing negativeenergies and harmonizing imbalanced energy patterns.

By wearing the crystals through out the day, preferably as a full necklace, as a pendant,or in a small pouch at the Heart Chakra; the vibrations of the crystals will continue toaffect areas of the imbalance, restoring a positive state where the imbalance has occurred.

The effects of crystal healing at the emotional and psychological levels are subtle, yet are

often noticed more by others than yourself! I have listed ten crystals and gemstones that

are useful in healing stress.

Ten "Stress Stones"

Amethyst

Keep an Amethyst cluster at your desk or in your therapy room to transmute negativeenergy. Amethyst helps you think and act at your highest level. It's good for promotions

(spiritual), and reduces tension headaches. Wear an Amethyst pendant continuously for

migraine prevention and for alleviating arthritic pain.

The "Success Stone" - Citrine encourages a bright outlook and happiness. It attracts

wealth and joy. Keep a piece in your wallet to enrich your holdings. It can help stabilize

emotions and soothe family problems. Citrine is also good for improving stress-relateddigestive problems.

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz can be worn as a crystal pendant to deflect radiation from going to your

body. Quatrz is an excellent general physical system fortifier and protector. It increasesmental clarity. Hold a clear crystal at your solar plexus and breath evenly for several

minutes to calm your emotions, to relax the body, to clear the mind, and to refresh your

energy. Stare into the crystal to clear writer's block and to increase creativity.

Fluorite

Fluorite - a stone to unblock stuck energies. For digestive systems problems use theyellow/green colour combination. For pains in the skeletal and muscular system, use the

blue/white colour combination. For head area complaints, use the purple/clearcombination. For asthma, wear the green coloured Fluorite. To help congested mental

thoughts, use a purple cluster in your work area, or position a cluster at your crown

chakra while sleeping.

Garnet

Garnet - An energy revitalizer. Garnet is excellent for strengthening the base chakra. It

promotes sexual energy (for your self and partner). It helps increase circulation to the legs

and pelvic area. It reduces menstrual pain when held or taped over the ovaries and uterus.Garnet can increase sexual stimulation and fertility too!

Hematite

"The Anti-Stress Stone". Hematite reflects back negative energies to the sender (so you

don't end up taking them on yourself). Hematite dissolves the issues when one meets withconfrontation. Tape a small piece over the leg and back areas to reduce pain and to

increase electromagnetic circulation. Hematite helps balance the meridians.

Malachite

Malachite is excellent for Type A personalities and for those prone to heart disease andstresses to internal organs. It helps to detoxify the liver and to increase blood circulation.

Malachite is excellent for breaking up old energy patterns. Use it with Rose Quartz to

soften the effects of a broken heart! Due to the possibly toxic copper content of this stone,keep Malachite away from pets and children, and do not wear it against the skin for long

periods of time. This stone is for external use only.


3/11

Rose Quartz

"The Love Stone" - Rose Quartz is very protective and soothing for many issues. Place

a large chunk of the stone at your Heart Centre for 15 minutes to relax after a stressfulday. Rose Quartz helps to unblock anxiety and to promote healing of private emotional

issues. It allows one to become more receptive and open to challenges.

Smokey Quartz

Smokey Quartz is an excellent stabilizer for mood swings. It helps ground feelings ofdepression, and both absorbs and transmutes negativity. This stone is best worn at the

solar plexus, the seat of the emotions. Smokey Quartz is excellent for PMS and cranky

persons; and good for persons imbalanced due to extreme stress and burn-out. It providesa protective field for recovery.

Turquoise

"A Stone of Protection" - Turquoise is an excellent toner for all systems of the body. It

helps prevent organs from absorbing toxins and breaking down. Wear this stone at thethroat to strengthen your will and to communicate effectively. It helps to sweeten the

voice and speak your truth. Turquoise helps reduce premature aging.

Some Hints On Crystal Healing

Your commitment to the crystal is part of the healing process. Let the crystal do the work

for you.

It is best not to wear more than two crystals at any one time if you are new to crystal

healing, as many find the effects too distracting. The length of time to obtain the effects

desired will depend on the quality of the crystal (size, colour, energy charge), locationworn, duration worn, and the crystal's appropriateness to your healing issue. Some

crystals are better suited to the overall underlying problem than to just treat superficial

symptoms. Select your crystal with an honest outlook on the problem.

Crystals and gemstones have often been worn by men as jewelry, or to decorate formalsuits to signify their official or regal status in society. In ancient times polished crystals

were embedded on shields for protection during battle. Carved crystal amulets offeredprotection from poisoned wine. Gem and crystal crafting today is still almost exclusivelymen's work. However, the use of precious metals and gem synthetics has slowly replaced

the use of gemstones in popular men's jewelry. The use of crystals for healing was

popularized in the tale of England's King Arthur with his wizard, Merlin, who lived in theCrystal Cave.

If you feel awkward about wearing crystals dangling down in front of your tie in public,

and are not inclined to be an "urban shaman", here are some suggestions:

Wear your healing crystals in a medicine pouch (a pouch on a string) and tuck it

down inside your shirt. Try to select crystals that are relatively flat, and yourpouch will go unnoticed. Place your crystals inside a small pouch and drop it into

your breast pocket to help heal your Heart.

For the office or workplace, leave your stones out as decorative objects. If anyone

asks, you can say you are a collector, or you are buying it for your kids as part of

their geology class.

Keep your crystals loose inside your front pants pockets, and hold them for a

while several times during the day.

At night, leave the crystals next to your bed or under your pillow. Remember to

cleanse and recharge your crystals at least once a month.

I asked a number of healers (both men and women) about what they felt were the healingissues for men. The responses are grouped as:

social isolation

stress-related

emotional health

intuition

communications

health issues

self-esteem and power

communication

I have listed a selection of ten crystals and gemstones from a group of twenty-five which

are useful in healing men and some of the men's issues listed above. The next crystals

Smokey Quartz

The "Emotional Balancer Crystal" - Smokey Quartz is a very specialized crystal for

negative emotional energy. This crystal is excellent for mood swings, aggressive actions,ill temper, and generally nasty thoughts. It grounds all kinds of negative energy. This

stone is helpful for burnout, fear of failure, reluctance to take risks, or wanting revenge,as well as for tendancies to over-eat, smoke or drink due to stress. It helps you acceptresponsibility for yourself, and to broaden your capacity for effective communication by

dissolving self-limiting perceptions.

Diamond

"The King of Crystals" - Diamond intensifies and activates one's internal energiesthrough its purity of vibration. The better the quality of Diamond, the better one's own

personal qualities and actions. When freely given, Diamond power becomes activated and

can be used for manifesting abundance and increasing personal self-esteem. It is a tokenof one's love to another, and both enhances and radiates the beauty of the wearer. The

Diamond is also known for invincibility, representing the life force (prana).

Hematite

"The Stress Stone" - Hematite is a versatile metallic-like crystal used for enhancingone's logic, mathematical abilities, rational thinking and depth of technical knowledge. It

grounds creative energy to make one's thoughts more practical and focused. As a "Stress

Stone", Hematite reflects negativity back to the sender, so you don't end up with someone

else's stress. For backache or leg cramps, use surgical tape to fix a few pieces onto painful

areas. The crystal's energy is like a magnet and effectively draws out pain related tomuscular or joint alignment problems. Hematite is also used to reduce insomnia.

Lapis Lazuli

"The Stone of The Pharaohs" - Lapis Lazuli is well-known as a favorite stone used inthe courts of the ancient Egyptian Kings. Lapis means "stone" and Lazuli means "blue".

This deep blue stone is used for stimulating mental strength and intellectual precision.

Lapis is a consciousness elevator, raising one's awareness to new heights and to greaterexpansion. It brings feelings of success and connectedness and protection. For intuitive

people, Lapis intensifies psychic power.

Malachite

"A Man's Stone" - The deep forest green ofMalachite is symbolic of the deep healingand cleansing this stone provides. It can aid in breaking down old patterns, whether

emotional (stuck patterns of behavior) or physical (tumors, swollen joints, muscular).

Malachite promotes business relationships and the increase of wealth by removing

obstacles to one's growth. The most important aspect of this crystal's healing ability,

however, is for the preventive health of the physical heart and liver. If you are attracted to

this crystal, chances are you have a family history of heart-related problems and probablyneed a heart check-up.

Moonstone (Adularia)

"The Feminine Balancing Crystal". To

soften and balance dominant male

attributes with some feminine qualities,

Moonstone provides for a depth of

perception and feelings, discernment,creativity and self-expression. Other

properties of Moonstone - increases

awareness and focus, releases one's

intuition, has rejuvenating qualities for

the skin and hair (baldness?), reduces

water retention, and provides protection

for travelers. Moonstones increase their

powers before and during the full moon,

so leave them out at night to soak uTen

Amber| Amethyst | Apache Tears |Coral (Red) | Garnet | Jade|Jasper| Rose Quartz |

Smokey Quartz | Sodalite | How to Use Crystals

Crystals can be used to assist women of all ages and in all stages of healing. Theawakening of the Self to a spiritual journey is not an easy task. It can demand much time

and resources to achieve self-development and growth. Some choose not to undertake the

risks and perils of peeling off our defences to become fully human and alive, and to

experience the full wealth of life.

"Isis Unveiled" is a term which refers to the Egyptian goddess whose face and form was

covered with a red cloth, symbolic of the ignorance and emotionalism that stood forever

between a person and Truth. To the wise, Isis lifts her veil, dispelling and revealing themysteries of the Universe. The inner journey becomes sacred to those who can withstand

the intensity of full consciousness.

Crystals have a healing role to play in this fantastic journey. Like the mysteries of a

woman's consciousness, crystals help to contain the inner processes of"Isis Unveiled",and help to prepare the unveiling of female consciousness through healing all levels of

her being. Crystals provide protection and give sanctuary for the deep healing a woman

does within herself. I have listed a selection of ten crystals and gemstones from a group

of forty-four that are useful in healing women and women's issues. The next crystalsarticles will be on healing men's issues, followed by "Using Crystals for HealingChildren".

Amber

A "Gentle Stone". Amber is very soothing and calming to the nerves. It can uplift a

negative disposition and encourage you to take life less seriously. It promotes fidelity in

relationships. As a self-healing stone, amber guides the emotions into a clearer mentaloutlook and to take greater responsibility for one's choices in life. It is also excellent for

soothing emotions during post-operative care. See also Jade.

Amethyst

A "Master Healing Crystal". Amethyst purifies and transmutes negativity. Amethystprovides protection and balance during transition periods. It reduces the feeling of being

victimized, giving you a spiritual perspective on life's circumstances. The lavender-pink

colour amethyst relates to the Heart chakra, to open and lighten up a betrayed heart and to

heal the sense of loss of life and innocence. The blue-red colour amethyst promotes adeep spiritual connection between one's self and one's life challenges, supporting the

challenge one has taken on, giving patience and calmness despite overwhelming odds.

A Note on How to Use Crystals for Healing

By wearing the crystals throughout the day for 21 days - preferably as a full necklace, asa pendant, or in a small pouch at the Heart Chakra -the vibrations of the crystals will

continue to affect areas of the imbalance, restoring a positive state where the imbalance

has occurred. The effects of crystal healing at the emotional and psychological levels aresubtle, yet are often noticed more by others than yourself!

from healing with crystals.

Some Hints On Crystal Healing

Your commitment to the crystal is part of the healing process. Let the crystal do the workfor you.

It is best not to wear more than two crystals at any one time if you are new to crystal

healing, as many find the effects too distracting. The length of time to obtain the effectsdesired will depend on the quality of the crystal (size, colour, energy charge), location of

wear, duration, and the crystal's appropriateness to your healing issue. Some crystals are

better suited to the overall underlying problem than to just treat superficial symptoms.

Select your crystal with an honest outlook on the problem.
