Divination is the art of seeking knowledge and wisdom through one's inner knowing or intuition through the use of divination tools like tarot or oracle cards, pendulums, etc. Scrying is a specific divinatory practice that can be practiced with a number of mediums from fire to crystal balls, to clouds, to water, and more — join me to explore the different ways you can practive divination with crystals... Working with crystal scrying tools, objects made from crystal that commonly feature a reflective surface like a Clear Quartz sphere or a Black Obsidian mirror, is a great way to experience the art of gazing into a crystal to receive guidance & wisdom. Scrying divination is a great way to hone your intuition. Developing your intuition helps you fill in the gaps where you don't have all the information or data necessary to make the best possible decision. That doesn't mean you should just follow your intuition without a second thought, but learning to trust your inner guidance, and combining that insight WITH reason and logic is far more practical than following logic alone. Performing the art of scrying divination with crystals takes patience and practice. You might need to form a relationship with your crystal tools before you start to see any meaningful symbols or images. Here are a few of my favorite crystal scrying tools and techniques to help you get started with your scrying divination practice. Crystallomancy - Scrying Divination with Crystal Balls: Crystallomancy, is the art of gazing into a crystal ball to receive guidance and wisdom in the form of images revealed within the sphere. The energy of a sphere represents wholeness and infinite possibility and spheres emit energy in all directions. John Dee's Divination Tools & Obsidian Scrying Mirror at the British Museum Humans have been practicing the art of crystallomancy also known as crystal ball reading, for hundreds – if not thousands of years. One of the most famous crystallomancers was John Dee, advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. Dee practiced his art in the 16th century, but people still know him today for his wise counsel. He relied upon his crystal scrying tools for their ability to reveal hidden truths and offer profound guidance. The British Museum displays Dee's crystal ball and other divination tools, such as his Obsidian scrying mirror. Tips for Selecting Your Crystal Ball: When choosing a crystal ball to work with for scrying, it's important to select one that will allow you to see into the depths of the crystal. Quartz-based minerals (like Clear Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Amethyst, etc.) typically work best for this and are also great amplifiers of energy, but there are many suitable transparent stones available (like some Calcites, Fluorite, etc.). These transparent to translucent stones let you gaze into the crystal to explore the sphere's inner landscape for symbols and images in the stone's fissures, fractures, and inclusions. Opaque stones (like Jaspers), however, typically aren't recommended for scrying as they limit your gaze to the very surface of the stone. One common exception is Black Obsidian, which has such a glassy surface, it allows you to scry using the exterior surface of the stone, rather than the interior of the crystal…(Obsidian will be covered in more detail in the next section as we dive deeper into exploring divination with crystals.) For example, there would be quite a big difference in attempting to scry with an opaque stone like Unakite compared one that is transparent like Ametrine. Ametrine's transparence really lets you view into the crystal, see into the depths of the crystal, whereas the Unakite would really only allow you to view the surface of the stone which would make scrying much more difficult, particularly for a beginner. Be Aware of What You're Purchasing When Looking for a Crystal Ball: It's also important to note here that there are many commercially available “crystal balls” t...

We will be diving into the topic of psychic and spiritual protection. In this episode, you'll discover various techniques such as creating an energetic barrier or "bubble," using columns of light, and even incorporating tools like Florida Water for cleansing. Stay tuned as we delve into the importance of setting boundaries and maintaining a healthy energy field during these challenging times. Get ready to learn and grow in this enlightening episode.Psychic protection is a practice used to safeguard oneself from negative energies, psychic attacks, and unwanted influences. It involves creating a shield of positive energy around oneself to block out harmful influences and maintain a state of mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. Psychic protection is an essential aspect of self-care and is practiced by many individuals to enhance their well-being and maintain their energy levels.The need for psychic protection arises from the fact that we are constantly exposed to various forms of energies that can have a significant impact on our mental and emotional states. Negative energies can come from a variety of sources, including people, places, events, and even our own thoughts and emotions. These energies can leave us feeling drained, anxious, and disconnected from ourselves and the world around us.By practicing psychic protection, we can create a shield of positive energy around us, which can help to block out negative influences and keep us centered and grounded. This can be especially useful when dealing with stressful situations or environments, such as crowded public spaces or emotionally charged situations.There are several ways to protect oneself psychically. One of the simplest ways is to visualize a shield of white light surrounding oneself. This light acts as a protective barrier, preventing negative energies from entering our personal space. Other techniques include wearing protective crystals or carrying a protective amulet, using smudging or incense to purify one's energy field, and practicing meditation or visualization techniques to strengthen one's energy field.One of the books that we recommended on the show: Psychic Protection: Balance and Protection for Body, Mind and SpiritCrystals Recommended: Black Tourmaline, Selenite, Bronzite, Smoky Quartz, Shungite Support the showWe hope you found the episode to be enlightening and insightful.

Setting up a crystal grid is a simple (but POWERFUL!) way to harness the magic of the universe, enhance your sacred space, and tap into your own energy. Here is a potent grid recipe that you can place in your space as a tabletop grid, or around the exterior of your sacred space or healing room to bring protection and peace to the area and to support your spiritual practice! But what if I don't have the right stone? Watch my video to learn how to troubleshoot this common crystal problem: Now let's create your crystal grid! First, grab these crystals for your grid. Feel free to use rough or tumbled stones: 1 piece of labradorite 4 pieces of smoky quartz 4 pieces of black tourmaline 8 pieces of selenite If you don't have these exact crystals, or if you don't have them in these quantities, use your intuition to help you find suitable substitutes or to make changes to the grid. Don't have 8 pieces of Selenite? Try a mixture of Selenite, Clear Quartz, & Scolecite instead - or reduce the number to 4 pieces. Don't have any Smoky Quartz? Try substituting Petrified Wood. The key here is to use what you have on hand and trust your intuition. You can use all one shape (like all tumbled stones), or you can feel free to mix and match shapes and sizes as you see fit. Before placing the stones, they should be cleansed thoroughly with your preferred cleansing method - such as sound, moonlight, or water. As you place each crystal in the grid, hold an intention of your choosing clearly in your mind. For example, “This crystal creates a protective energetic boundary.” OR “This crystal helps me feel calm and relaxed.” Labradorite is used at the center of the grid to help connect you to your own spiritual energy. Place your crystal in a central location in your space -- such as atop your altar. Visualize the energy of the Labradorite crystal in the center of your space as a shimmering rainbow pool of energy. Take a deep breath in and feel yourself begin to absorb this shimmering, rainbow energy into your energy body. Smoky Quartz helps you stay grounded while meditating & promotes intuitive insight. Place one in the center of each wall in your sacred space if gridding the entire room, or near the central Labradorite stone if creating a tabletop grid. Visualize the Smoky Quartz transmuting any unwanted energy and radiating supportive energy toward yourself and your space. Black Tourmaline repels unwanted energy and enhances feelings of grounding and security. Place one in each corner of your space if gridding the entire room, or in the corners of the small grid if creating it on a tabletop. See the energy of the Black Tourmaline crystals begin to expand and push positive energy further and further out into your sacred space until it fills the whole room. Selenite cleanses the energy of the space and surrounds you with healing energy. Place two along each wall (one on each side of your pieces of smoky quartz). Visualize the Selenite linking together the stones in the perimeter of the grid and sending the energy of your grid into your sacred space. After placing the stones, you're ready to activate the grid! Do this by intentionally linking the crystals' energy together. This can be done with a Clear Quartz point, a separate Selenite wand, or even with your finger. Point the crystal or your finger toward the central crystal in the grid, then move around the room “drawing” energetic connections between each stone (or just drawing energetic lines between the stones on your tabletop if creating a smaller grid). In this way, you connect the crystals energetically so that they are better able to act as one harmonious grid, rather than many individual stones.

I have created this podcast to help those who want to use crystals to find inner peace, wisdom, love, happiness and wellness. I offer advice on a selection of crystals and explain what their vibrations will unearth within you.Crystals expand and open the mind to new levels of perceptions that will bring peace, love, security, health and wealth. I humbly offer you my version of Spirituality for consideration and a list of crystals that can help you achieve the three main lessons that a spiritual warrior seeks. Love, Independence and Inner Security.Find out how: The beautiful crystal vibrations of Danburite, Pink Kunzite, Rose Quartz, apple chrysoprase and aventurine will support us as we learn to love without condition...become more open to love and being loved... and maintain the heart vibration.The spirits of Petrified Wood, ammonite, agates, amber, golden topaz, tigers eye and aquamarine show us how to let go, to flow with the impermanence of life, to release what is no longer serving us and to blossom as the new unfolds.The solid, secure energies of Hematite, Bronzite, Smoky Quartz, Sodalite and Sapphire won't let us down, they will aid trust, inner security, grounding and anchor your awareness into the eternal NOW.This is the first in a series of how to begin using crystals to help maintain harmony, open your mind to limitless possibilities and really find the true you. We can very easily get lost in today's society and feel isolated, insecure and alone, well Mother Earth has unveiled her secrets to us through the crystals, she is calling us home, to reconnect to the silence, the peace and the voice within. I used Chrysocolla to help me find the words to express the love and wisdom the crystals can offer us. I humbly give thanks that many people are now awakening to the cleaner, purer vibrations of love, truth, freedom, harmony inner wisdom and empowerment. I would like to thank you for taking the time to listen to me and possibly sharing your thoughts with me or even joining me on a workshop or course at www.britishacademyofcrystalhealing.co.uk

Keeping yourself protected is an important part of health and wellness. Setting boundaries is an important part of this work - and crystals can help to energetically support you during this process. This crystal layout for shielding your energy body can help to protect you from the energy of others or from outside energies in your environment. When you work preventatively to stay protected, you keep yourself from being depleted and you’re better able to stay in balance and alignment. Remove Outside Energies from Your Aura: Start creating this crystal layout for shielding by placing a vertical line of four Smoky Quartz crystals on either side of the body. There should be a total of eight stones placed in two separate lines. These crystals help to energetically dissolve any outside energy or psychic debris that has accumulated in your field. By removing this energy, you’re bringing your own energy back into balance. This way, you’re better able to deal with new incoming energies as they emerge. Protect Yourself from Incoming Energy: Next, you should place a Tektite stone a few inches above your head. This will help to create a psychic shield around your physical body and your aura. Then, place a piece of Hematite between and just below your feet. This will help to keep you grounded and connected to the earth. When you’re rooted into the earth, you can continuously pull in a stream of energy into your aura to keep your energy reserves full. This will stop you from getting depleted easily. In each of your hands, hold a piece of Labradorite (so two pieces total) to shield your physical and energetic bodies from picking up on outside energy. This is especially helpful for those who are highly sensitive or for those who have trouble setting boundaries. Simplify When You Don’t Have Time or Space for a Full Crystal Layout: If you’re in need of some quick support with shielding or boundary setting, try just holding a Labradorite stone in your hands (or one in each hand). Doing something small like this is much better than doing nothing at all because you're lacking in time or space. You may find it helpful to keep a piece of Labradorite with you for anytime the need may arise. You can also keep things convenient by wearing a Labradorite pendant or bracelet to use in a pinch!

Crystal grids are an amazing and effective way to work with crystal energy. Plus, they’re absolutely stunning to look at! You can use grids to create positive energy flows, for protection and to enhance your manifestation practice. You can even create a crystal grid for wellness and health, which is what you’ll learn to create in today’s blog and podcast! This grid recipe for wellness is from my book, Crystals for Energy Healing, and can be used to energetically support your health and wellness. /* Creating Your Crystal Grid for Wellness Begin by gathering your supplies and making sure that all of your crystals have been cleansed. Create an intention statement for your grid such as, “My physical body is healthy and well.” Your intention may be general if you’d just like to focus on overall physical health. You may also get as specific as you like to your idea of wellness when crafting your intention statement. Your Crystal Grid for Wellness Supplies: One Emerald stone (or a green stone connected with wellness like Green Aventurine, Nephrite Jade, or Bloodstone). Four Ruby stones (or any combination of red stones connected with vitality like Carnelian, Red Jasper, or Red Aventurine). Four Red Pyrope Garnet stones (or any combination of grounding stones like Black Tourmaline, Smoky Quartz, or Petrified Wood). Eight Clear Quartz crystal points (or tumbled stones will do in a pinch). One small, square, piece of red paper or cloth (for vitality and energizing) - optional. One small, square, piece of green paper or cloth (for general wellness and healing) - optional. Build Your Crystal Grid for Wellness Place your red paper or cloth (if you’re using one) in the area where you will set up your grid. Place your green cloth (if you’re using one) on top of the red cloth, but turn it so that only the four corners of the red cloth show beneath the green square. Set the Emerald crystal (or a green stone if you’re making a substitution) in the center of the grid. This represents physical healing and wellness. Be sure to state your intention, aloud or to yourself, when placing this stone. Doing this will anchor your intention into the grid. Next, place the four Ruby crystals (for vitality), on top of the corners of the red cloth. Do this in a square shape, around your central stone. Then, place the four Red Pyrope Garnet crystals in a square shape between the Ruby stones (one in each corner of the green cloth). This represents grounding and stability. Finally, place the eight clear Quartz crystal points, one between the Emerald stone and each of the eight red stones, with the points facing in toward the Emerald. These will act to amplify your intention. Activating Your Crystal Grid After all of your crystals have been placed, you’ll need to activate your crystal grid. Activation is the process of connecting the energy of the stones within your grid and unifying them to work together toward a common purpose. This process enhances the energy of the stones so that the energy of the grid becomes greater than the sum of its individual crystal parts. For step by step instructions on how to activate your grid, check out my article How to Create and Use a Crystal Grid Step-by-Step here. Leave this grid in place for as long as you feel you need the healing energy, but be sure to update your intention statement as needed if your health situation changes.

Keeping the energy body healthy and in balance is equally as important as maintaining your physical health. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep can go a long way toward good health. However, to round things out, you should consider incorporating crystal healing layouts for energetic support as well. Performing a layout for yourself can be a bit challenging. I’m talking reaching far, struggling with flexibility, and having all your crystals roll away when you try to place the next ones. Don’t fret! You can still make even a complicated crystal layout work. Did you know you can apply the principles of distance healing to a layout for yourself? You just need a representation of you -- this could be a photograph or your name written on a piece of paper. Plus, a “stand-in” for your body, like a distance healing board or a drawing of the human body. You can place your crystal layout for physical wellbeing on this stand-in and intend to send healing to yourself. Or, you can use this same method for sending healing distantly to friends, family, or clients. It's kind of like working with a crystal grid for healing, but a little different. If you want to learn everything you need to know about working with crystal energy, my Crystal Healing Certification program is opening for enrollment very soon! Find out more and join the program waitlist here. The following crystal layout for physical wellbeing helps to draw energy into the body and keeps your energy channels open, giving you an energy boost and helping to keep you from feeling depleted. Watch my quick video walkthrough now: Get Grounded: Begin by placing a black, brown, or red grounding crystal between and just below your feet. This is the area of your Earth Star Chakra, a minor chakra that helps maintain the grounding cord between your physical and energetic bodies. Placing a stone like Black Tourmaline, Red Garnet, Smoky Quartz, Black Onyx, or Red Jasper in this location helps to keep you grounded and connected to your body while you’re within the crystal layout. It also helps you readily absorb the energy from the other stones in the layout. This is because it opens up your energy channels, allowing the crystal energy to flow through you unimpeded. Next, place a grounding stone next to each hip on either side of your body. Petrified Wood, Bronzite, Smoky Quartz, Dravite Tourmaline, or Septarian Nodule are perfect for this. Place the stones just below your hip bones where your legs attach to the main part of your body. These two crystals work to anchor your energy body during the session so that the energy flows easily integrated between the physical body and the aura. The upside-down triangle that’s created between the grounding crystal below your feet and the two stones near your hips helps to direct and expand grounding energy from the earth up into your body. Energetically Support Your Physical Body: To create a positive shift in your physical body and call in balance and wellbeing, place a dark green stone above each of your shoulders. Stones like Malachite, Emerald, Green Aventurine, Buddstone, or Bloodstone all work well for this. When connected with the stones near the hips, these crystals help to create a long, rectangular shape around the torso. This surrounds it in healing energy, which helps you anchor into yourself. The deep green color of these stones is associated with healing. It will help to correct any energetic imbalances within your field. If you’re dealing with discomfort from stress, like headaches, upset stomach, muscle tension, and loss of appetite, you can energetically support yourself by placing a yellow stone over the stomach. Keep Yourself Clear: Finally, place a clear or white crystal, like Selenite, Scolecite, Clear Quartz, Howlite, or Clear Calcite, just above the head near the area of the Crown Chakra. The purpose of the stone here is to cleanse any energetic debris f...
Over the weekend we had some pretty chilly weather . . . the kind that had me reconsidering if it is truly time to pack away my winter jacket or if I should keep it out just a bit longer. Ahh . . . Spring . . . it's such a beautiful and wildly unpredictable time, one rich with insight. As Chris and I have both been working from home these past couple months, we've been spending extra time in our flower gardens. Spring is a time when Chris is typically coaching and putting in extra hours at work. It's typically a time when snagging a couple hours in the garden to clear off the leaves, brush, and other dead stuff from the fall feels like a gift. But this year, as we are able to spend more time than usual, our spring garden is looking better than ever. And all of this spring garden time has offered me some extra insight into the magic of the spring season . . . In the past, I've associated spring with being a time to spring into action, a time when the dreams and ideas we were nurturing through the winter are ready to spring to life and come into bloom. But what I actually missed about the spring season, is that in order for the plants to thrive, we need to give them space and in spring, that requires a bit (or sometimes a lot) of clean up. Spring cleaning is important in so many areas of life . . . our homes, our closets, the kitchen, and in more subtle places such as our inner worlds. Spring is a great time to clear out the debris that is cluttering our inner worlds as well, to lovingly look within and attune to the dreams that are ready to bloom in our lives . . . to give our inner worlds a little spring refresh. During this spring refresh, it can be very helpful to lean into ceremony, sacred practice, and the support of others. In this week's episode of the Crystal Shaman Life Podcast, I share how smoky quartz is a great ally during times of change as it inspires us to create space for our own blooming. Listen in to discover what Smoky Quartz is sharing. Wishing you a joyful week! much love, Lori P.S. I would also like to invite you to join me for my upcoming event . . . Calling in Clarity: 5-days of Creative Ceremony. This journey begins next Wednesday, May 20th. Sign up here: https://crystalshamanschool.com/calling-in-clarity/ P.P.S.

Today, I am so excited to be interviewing the amazing Sarah Balmer of Sarah Belle. We're talking all about her journey with crystals, how they've helped her enhance her yoga practice, and how they could do the same for you. Sarah, thank you so much for being here with me today. Ashley: I am super pumped because we just finished recording your video interview for the Crystal Mastery Conference, where you're teaching all about crystals and Yoga. Can you tell everyone a little bit about your journey with Yoga and crystals? How did you get started on this path? Sarah: Sure. I started Yoga a long time ago back when I was in college. However, I then disconnected from it for a while, but came back to it later in life. I came back to it when I was in a place where I was super busy and fast-paced as a way to balance. I was in need of more tools for stress management and good self-care. That's what I really think started opening me up to holistic health, holistic healing and all of these different modalities and tools. I got my Yoga teacher training certification in addition to already being a holistic coach, a personal trainer, and then now of course with the crystal healing. Now I just kind of have this tool bag of all these ways of helping folks. I would say that Yoga has really become much more enriched with the addition of crystals. Ashley: I think this is a story a lot of us can relate to. We're seeking more balance, we're looking for ways to take more time for self-care or to get grounded, to just be well in general. I think for many of us that's what has led us to crystals, or Reiki, or yoga, or however that unfolds on your own path. Let me ask you this, I am just curious... we talked a little bit about ways to incorporate crystals into your yoga practice, and some of your favorite ways and methods for doing this. We also talked about some of your favorite crystals to use in your practice. I'm just wondering, could you share a few of your favorite crystals to use in your yoga practice with everyone who's listening? Sarah: Absolutely. I think it partially depends on why you're coming to your yoga mat. What are you doing your yoga practice for? There are definitely a couple of key crystals that I think are wonderful for Yoga. For any practitioner, any student, any level, any reason that you're coming to Yoga. The first of these is Shiva Lingam, which comes from the rivers of India. This is a wonderful stone. It's very steepen in Indian tradition and is associated with the Lord Shiva, who represents totality and union. The stone itself is really a wonderful balance of masculine and feminine energies. So many people come to Yoga to find balance in their energetic anatomy. The stone is wonderful for supporting that. It carries with it all that wonderful energy from India, which is the home and the heart of Yoga. Watch the video interview with Sarah here: The other stone that I really love is Orgonite, because it's wonderfully energizing and sends energy in all directions. This is really good for aligning the chakras and infusing light into the body. Again, it's wonderful for balancing and kind of discovering the whole aspects of being. There are also a few others that I love. I think Smoky Quartz and Black Tourmaline are wonderful for placing at your mat for discharging negative energy, and just kind of releasing and letting go, and grounding down. So many people come to Yoga for grounding and relaxation. I think that a big reason that people come is to help clear their minds and to walk away from their mat feeling lighter and more relaxed. For me, Amazonite is a stone that I'm super attracted to for this. Ocean Jasper is also a wonderful relaxation stone for me. It really helps me to connect with all things and all beings. It reminds me that I'm part of this greater collective. Lastly, your obvious stones like Amethyst and Rose Quartz always have a wonderful place in pure practice.
July 8, 2018 There are so many types of stones and gemstones: granite, marble, slate, limestone, sapphire, beryl, emerald, etc... Can you name a few more? Well, which one would you say is the most beautiful? For me it's probably Smoky Quartz or Black Onyx. Well, which one would you say carries the most value? I'm gonna say Blue Diamond... only because I googled it. Come this Sunday as we examine 1 Peter 2:4-12 and learn about the most beautiful, precious, life-giving stone that is yours to keep and cherish forever. Jazz

Wanna’ Get Science-y? Click Here to get information about the chemical composition, hardness, streak, etc. of this crystal from one of my favorite sites! The staff at my new age shop, Mimosa Books & Gifts, had this to share: Smoky quartz is a form of quartz with traces of lithium and/or aluminum, which give it a gray-to-brown shade, ranging from pale to almost black. It’s a great stone for grounding higher energies, making it an excellent helper for those working with dream healing, astral travel, and shamanic journeying. Smoky quartz offers great protection against negative energies that can interfere with healing work or spiritual growth. It is the national gemstone of Scotland, and the ancient Celts used it to adorn both ceremonial jewelry and weapons. It is one of the traditional birthstones for Scorpio. This crystal is wonderful for meditation and spiritual endeavors, but also very helpful for stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and dealing with negative energy in everyday life. If your own emotions and moods sometimes get in the way of inner peace, try “filtering” out negativity by selecting a piece of smoky quartz that speaks to you personally and working with it on a regular basis.

When you’re feeling like there’s some negative energy in your space or you’re surrounded by negative people, your instinct may be to immediately reach for your protective crystals, but this may not be the best remedy. Energy is just energy. We classify it as “positive” or “negative” but in actuality, there is just energy. There is energy that serves our highest good (positive) and energy that doesn’t (negative). So how do you deal with “negative” energy in a space? The first step to take is to clear the space of any energy that’s not serving your highest good. When dealing with a person who leaves you feeling stressed out or drained, protective crystals can help shield you from absorbing the chaotic energy they imprint upon a space. However, using those crystals is only half of the solution. You need to remedy the root cause of the situation by clearing that energy from your space. Here are some of my favorite crystals for keeping your space free from negativity: Selenite: Selenite is most effective if you know ahead of time that you’ll be encountering some negative vibes. You can place a Selenite crystal in the space to keep it cleansed and flowing. This will help to remove the energy that’s not for your highest good. Basically, Selenite helps to clear out psychic debris before it works its way into your energy field. Pink Halite: Pink Halite is a very cleansing stone. It also helps instill compassion and gets you centered in your heart space. So, if you have someone who is very draining or who often seems crabby or cranky, this crystal may help. It allows you to be empathetic, listen without being drawn into their situation, and hold space for them to move past the issue. You may find that by showing empathy and compassion, the energy in the space will shift. You'll notice this shift both in the space and in the negative person. After all, as humans, we need this feeling of compassion and understanding. For many people, making negative comments, complaining about their situation, or dragging others down into a lower vibe space isn’t done maliciously. Instead, it’s the only way these people know how to reach out for help and understanding. So by being a good listener, and having empathy for them as a person who is hurting, you help them to release the “negative” energy they’re holding onto. Pink Halite helps you do this while keeping your energy field clear. It will and keep you on the outside of the situation so you don’t get drawn in. Rutilated Smoky Quartz: During my time as a professional healer and running my new age shop for more than a decade, I heard from people time and time again how they were certain they had an entity attachment of some kind that was causing their negative attitude or behavior. Yes, I am open minded about the fact that this is possible. However, I do not think it happens nearly as much as people think it does. In fact, I found that many times an entity was blamed for mean or negative behavior, it was simply a case where the person didn’t want to take responsibility for their own actions. This may seem harsh, but the point here is: If you have a chronically “negative” person who always seems to be convinced that there are forces at work making them act a certain way, chances are much more likely that it is their own bad attitude that is responsible. Rutilated Smoky Quartz is excellent for counteracting this energy. The Smoky Quartz disintegrates and grounds negativity from the person’s energy field. In addition to this, the Rutile crystals help break up any stuck or stagnant energy that the person is holding onto. These are usually emotional blocks that have never been cleared. If you’d like to guard against the effects of this energy, you can place a Rutilated Smoky Quartz crystal near the entry to your space to sweep their field upon entering.

“Feng shui literally translated is ‘wind and water,’ the two most prevalent elements that shape our world. Feng shui can be used to shape the energy around you. It is about changing your life by assessing and maintaining your connection to the natural world” -Sandra Kynes (author of Gemstone Feng Shui). For this reason, crystals can be used according to the principles of feng shui in order to enhance positive energy and counteract negative energy in your space. Crystals and stones can be used to shift the energy in your healing arts space, and in turn, make positive changes in your life and business that will result in balance and harmony. Knowing how to utilize crystal energy to positively affect the flow of energy in your sacred business is the key to proper Crystal Feng Shui. All spaces have nine distinct areas, and these correspond to the nine areas of the Bagua Map. According to the ancient Chinese Bagua Map, parts of your space directly connect to certain areas of your life. By placing stones in your business, office, or healing room according to the Bagua Map, you can change the energy of your space, and, in turn, of your life. You can place stones in one area of your healing arts room or business according to the Bagua Map, or you can look at the entire business as a whole and place stones throughout the home accordingly. There are several ways to do this. You may choose stones according to their color, their known properties, or their elemental correspondences.

You can grab a free, printable Crystal Bagua Map here!). Allow the new crystal to stay in place for at least four weeks so that you can monitor how the energy shifts in the corresponding area of your life and business. This will seem subtle at first, but give it some time and pay close attention to how things begin to change. For example, if you’d like to enhance the wealth and prosperity of your business, try adding an Amethyst or Smoky Quartz crystal to the wealth area of your space (according to the Crystal Bagua Map). Wait a few weeks and make note of any changes you notice in this area of your life. If things don’t improve like you’d hoped, try adding a second crystal to the space, or place a Clear Quartz crystal near the original stone to amplify its energy. Using crystals in this way not only shifts the energy in your space and in your business, but it beautifies your space, which is enjoyable to both you AND your clients.

Useful at the base or first chakra, it is useful for helping us see situations, ourselves, and others with more clarity as it helps dispel delusions. Smoky Quartz is transparent in it's natural state, and if it is not transparent then it has been artificially irradiated and should be avoided. It is strongly connected to the earth, Mother Gaia, and has deep roots in the physical plane.
