Metaphysical healing properties of Stilbite   Stilbite is one of the zeolite stones, being related to apophyllite, heulandite, scolecite and other zeolites. The color ranges of stilbite are white, yellow, pink, orange, red and brown. Stilbite is a wonderful stone that connects the heart chakra with the higher chakras.  I always look at the chakras as the first three being the lower chakras, the heart chakra being in the middle, and the throat through crown as the upper chakras.  Stilbite allows the heart chakra to connect with the upper three chakras when usually the heart chakra stands alone in the middle. Because of this effect stilbite has on the upper chakras, it allows us to bring heart into everything we work on within the realms of these three higher chakras. This connection of stilbite allows us to tap into our creativity, using the throat chakra it allows one to bring love and openness to their creative flow.  Stilbite is strongly connected to the third eye chakra as well,

Power Stones are large stones that can be polished on all sides, or can be in raw form. The purpose of having a power stone is to bring you a lot of energy of that particular type of gemstone that it is created out of, to you or your environment. You can use your power stones in healing or in meditation. Also power stones fit nicely in the whole of your hand, not just the palm like a little stone would. Power stones are a perfect way to have the energy of that particular stone overflowing in the room! They tend to radiate energy outward from the center when placed in a room.

I haven't been writing as much as I usually do the last couple months. At first I thought maybe it was just Mercury going retrograde and then that passed and then I thought wow, maybe I have writers block! I don't think thats it, as much as I have been sooooo attracted to these high energy stones. Stuff like scolecite, optical calcite and even this amazing clear obsidian stone that I found.. (I know for me that's a weird one) I have been carrying them around with me and sleeping with them, no wonder I am so flighty lately, I need some earthy energy! Anyhow, I think I figured it all out.... It wasn't an outside influence over me, but rather these high energy stones helping me (who needs no help at this anyhow) live in my head even more. I really truly love the higher thinking and awareness of it all, it really helps me sort out things, but for writing purposes and focusing it isn't very productive! So for today's blog I will be describing some of the stones that

How to cleanse your crystals Many people have asked me this questions and I would like to share the ways I cleanse my crystals here. You can use any of the methods outlined below together or separately to cleanse and charge your crystals. I use all of these methods myself at different times of the moon cycles. Most of all with all things in healing intention is the key. I find that my crystals are more powerful and energizing when they are clean and charged.

They are respected and revered by many in the healing arts. Anyone that has held a crystal in their hands will understand why I call them living. They vibrate to subtle but powerful energies and assist with healing, manifesting and many other things. Below are the different ways to cleanse crystals, feel free to read through these w

Crystal Pyramids can focus energy in a tight beam through the apex of the pyramid. You can use this pyramid energy beam to charge other crystals, objects or people and also to preserve objects. Pyramids are helpful at deflecting negative energies. You can place a pyramid in a room to help shield the area with a vibrant energy. The type of gemstone or crystal that a pyramid is made out of will reflect the type of shield that it gives off, for a heart centered stone it will radiate that heart energy, for a grounding stone it will radiate grounding energy etc. Clear quartz pyramids can be programmed for any type of shield. Pyramids can also be used in healing practice, they help to unblock and replenish slow and closed off chakras, replacing the negative energy with a vibrant flow of energy to the chakra. To find Reiki charged pyramids, just visit my website! www.rocksandreiki.com ~Rock on, Starlene

Since I have become a " Rock-Adoption-Agency " as I so lovingly call my business, I have gotten a lot of questions from people about the different shapes of crystals and what they mean. So I have decided to start a series of blogs here about the different crystal shapes, so people following can learn about the different shapes and why they might want to use a certain shape for a particular reason. I will randomly add a new shape, either natural formation or cut shape to the blog, I will begin each one with Crystal Shape - (Insert Shape) so if you want to look at all of them just search for those blogs that start with that or in the tags click on Crystal Shapes to find them :) Crystal balls, also known as crystal spheres, represent the Universe and all within it. Spheres represent the whole person. They send energy in all directions and are the most unified of all crystal shapes.
