Addictions and Crystals

ADDICTIONS

Violet Crystals

Addictions take many forms and can be major or minor addictions.  Small scale addictions can be signs of obsessive behavior, and we may experience withdraw symptoms if we fail to get our personal choice of our so called "fix", be it overeating or drinking too much coffee.  Many addictions are caused by thought forms and these can be self-generated, inherited or even picked up from others.

Violet Crystals

These crystals can have some remarkable effects. They do this by bringing balance and healing in any situation as they facilitate integration at an energetic level. By removing blockages, obstacles and additions they can also offer inspiration and help to fire up the imagination which in turn allows insights into extremist viewpoints that can quite often leave you vulnerable to obsessive behavior traits. You can make a gem essence using these stones or simply ensure that you wear or carry a stone of this colour. 

• Did you know that Amethyst was traditionally worn to prevent drunkenness as it is known to support sobriety. It can help to prevent over indulgence and overcome addictions and compulsions that can then in turn become obsessions.
• It can help to detach negative energies. Amethyst loosens thought forms that cause addictions by transmuting them into positive energy.  
• Fluorite shares may of the same qualities as Amethyst and is especially helpful in dissolving fixed behavior patterns. 

Using Gem Essences

You can make a gem essence with the above stones. Normally a gem essence is taken 3 times a day. You can also add gem essence to your bath water or massage oil. 

You can learn how to make gem essence with our Crystal Therapy Diploma Course.

Crystals & Emotions

Crystals and Emotions

Our emotions are linked to the element of water. Bearing in mind that most of our body weight is made up of water and that it carries the essential nutrients for life then water has a special significance.  In this article we will learn that crystals have the ability to transform stagnant energy that can have a direct effect on our emotions.

Balancing Emotions

One of the most difficult parts of learning to balance your emotions is to actually understand and identify how you are actually feeling at any given time. Just like water, emotions change constantly, ebbing and flowing, and offering us movement that assists us to explore our full potential as humans.

Sometimes however our emotions can become frozen or stuck and they can then become destructive or harmful and can block our creativeness and happiness. When water is boiled it turns to steam and evaporates; this too can be reflected in the emotions of anger and loss. With this in mind it would be helpful if our emotions were more like a stream of fresh flowing water constantly moving forwards. If a stream becomes blocked it becomes stagnant and muddy, just as our emotions become clogged and cloudy when blocked.

How Can Crystals Help?

Crystals have the ability to transform stagnant energy by getting below the surface and to the exact root of the problem. Emotional wounds can lock up our energy so that we can live our life to the full. Crystal can help to heal these wounds and help to restore our equilibrium and free our energy. Crystal healing uses some very effective techniques to release trauma without the need to re-live the traumatic event. They can help the emotional body reintegrate the energy involved which is an important part of healing.

Watery Crystals

Opals/Moonstone/Aquamarine

Moonstone  - and Selenite have a natural affinity to the element of water. These stones help to stabilize the emotions our emotions at the same time as balancing our body fluids.

Aquamarine – this stone relates to the watery element of the emotions, especially when a build-up of  painful experiences has perhaps caused us to take on phobias of any kind. When the thymus gland becomes stressed due to emotional debilitation, it needs the energy boost that this stone will provide.

Opal – loves water. This stone is an emotional mirror that can help to stabilize mood swings

Crystal Facial Massage

Facial Massage

We should be especially careful when looking after our facial skin, especially seeing as this is the first thing people notice. Having a facial massage not only improves circulation but will also ensure your skin is looking its best by having a fresher and more glowing look. As a facial relaxes the muscles this helps to relieve tension frowns.The choice of crystal for this massage will be influenced by the fact that our emotions can also affect our faces. Therefore a Rose quartz is a primary emotional healing crystal and this can help skin conditions that have emotional triggers such as stress.  You can also use a moonstone which is also a soothing and comforting stone to use. 

Rose Quartz

You will need

1 Rose Quartz or one moonstone 

What to Do

1. Cleanse your face, be careful when cleansing and take care not to drag the skin.

2. Apply a light oil of your choice to your facial skin to encourage more of a fluid movement for the crystal. 

3. Use small circular movements and gently massage your face and neck with the crystal. 

4. Res the palms of your hands on your face with fingertips gently touching your forehead and the heels of your hands on your chin. Press gently and slowly draw your hands towards your ears. Repeat this movement 3 times. 

TIPS

• Make a Rose Quartz gem essence which you can use to drink or use as a face wash.
• Add a few drops of essential oil and a rose quartz or moonstone to a bath to help rejuvenate your whole body.

Crystal Layouts

Crystal Layouts

Crystal layouts are set patterns of certain crystals and stones placed on and round the body. Each layout is designed to balance our vital energy in a particular way. Some layouts (known as nets) call for the client to lie upon a cloth of a particular colour in order to amplify the positive effect of the crystals. Most layouts require the client to lay down, however if you are working alone and doing a self treatment ensure that the crystals you need are within easy reach before you begin your session. 

How Long Should the Stone be left?

To get the benefit of the crystals you do not actually need to leave the stones too long.
Aprox 5 to 10 mins is usually quite sufficient. 

What type of stones/crystals?

Many crystal therapists use an assortment of crystals and tumble stones, however some layouts do require crystal points, which will direct energy in a more precise manner than tumbles stones.
