 Crystals For Anxiety

Most people will  experience anxiety at some level throughout their lives. Unfortunately, I have noticed  it is more prevalent among my clients and friends during this current day and age than in the past. I have had a high amount of calls asking for suggestions about complementary  modalities to ease stress levels.

MY STORY

I was first drawn to the carnelian while shopping for crystals to incorporate with facial treatments. The relaxing facials were enhanced when I introduced my clients to this energy boosting yummy bright orange stone. The properties of this gorgeous stone helps you to relax enough to re-direct your thoughts in a productive direction.

Just the vibrant color will make you smile. And a smile has an energy boosting effect itself. My facial mists were made in-salon and infused with the frequencies of tiny carnelians. Their simple presence in the treatment room seemed to lift everyone's spirit.

I always keep one close by to help clear my mind when faced with too many decisions..........

Rhodochrosite resonates with the Heart as well as the root chakra. Most people associate the stone with the heart chakra because of the comforting pink tones.

 

MY STORY

Rhodochrosite is such a sweet stone. It reminds me of my sweet Stella rescue kitty. She is always patient. The comfort of her purring is soothing to my stressed out soul. If only we could hear the resonant sound of this precious stone it would be a purr. 

 

HISTORY MYSTERY AND MYTHS

Legend claims that a heart-shaped Rhodochrosite boulder deep in a cave beneath the Andes Mountains is the heart of Mother Earth. It is believed that this heart beats once every two thousand years.

These mysterious rich black stones captured my interest the first time I encountered them. The purifying strength of Shungite pulled me in for a closer look, and touch, as I ventured through the warehouse. I eventually left without them that day but they were embedded in my memory and thoughts. 


I returned much later to the warehouse and was greeted by my super friendly crystal rep. I smiled and said Shungite. He knew I was on a mission.

 

HISTORY,  MYSTERY AND MYTHS

There are some amazing vintage inspired therapies to help you sleep. One of my favorites is Crystal Therapy. For centuries crystals and stones have been used to promote peaceful feelings.

 

Exhausted, you lay your head on you pillow. Snuggling under your covers and closing your eyes as your body anticipates a rejuvenating sleep. Suddenly your brain awakens and wants to have a discussion. 

 

 

"Just one more thought," your brain whispers to you. Oh great! The thoughts just keep coming!

During this time on planet Earth,  the stress caused from uncertainty can be the culprit of restless and sleepless nights. When external events have taken us to a place where we believe we have no control we can take this opportunity to explore those things we can control. Our knowledge and use of alternative therapies  can  take us to a ...

I think I am confidently going where no me has gone before.  This afternoon I sit staring through my French doors at the little banana pepper growing in my patio garden.  It is pointing at me as if to say: "You are supposed to be writing, not trying to find distractions."

 

It wasn't pointing at me this morning.  It directed its little pointer finger at the sun and must have followed it through the day until it saw me struggling with my confident journey.  This day has been filled with maybe no distractions.  Only peace and quiet (even the dog next door is not barking). It was so quiet I could hear my doubtful thoughts bombarding me.  Why am I ............
