My Crystalaura Newsletter. June 2010

September 9th, 2010 by Sue

In this Newsletter: – Words from Ron, New Products, Inspirational quote, Stone of the month –  Hematite, Article – The basics for using a Pendulum, Tips for using crystals.

Hello and welcome. Last month I was saying how easy it can be to become too busy and I recommended taking a little time out for some re-creation.  I know a couple of you have followed my advice and taken some time out for an ‘energy treatment’, such as a massage, a Reiki session or a crystal chakra balance, and other similar treats.

Another very effective ‘energy treatment’ is to go out for a walk, especially if most of your day is spent indoors. Even though we are at the beginning of winter and might shun the idea, this is particularly beneficial if you can walk in a place of beauty, like a botanical garden, a well kept park, or along the bank of a river or lake, or a beach. Not only do you get the benefit of the physical exercise, but this activity also has the benefit of helping to keep us mentally balanced and psychologically fit.

How to “Claim” Your Crystal:

June 17th, 2010 by Sue

Attuning it to Your Soul

If you are a novice crystal-gazer and healer, establishing a sense of ritual is very important. You naturally want to feel as “grounded” and connected to your crystal as possible so that you can help others and heal yourself, as well, before reaching out to others.

While you are working with your crystal on your own, you are using your clairvoyant abilities; you are also raising your physical and etheric, or “auric” body’s vibrations; it’s similar to “tuning” a fine instrument – but in this case, you are the instrument – the transmitter; the antenna – so to say that you must be certain that you are completely relaxed and feel a connection with Spirit through your crystals is an understatement – it’s a must-have!

Diamond is the hardest natural substance and no naturally occurring material can cut or even scratch it. The Diamond has remarkable optical characteristics and mechanical properties, and these combined with well-organized marketing, have made the diamond such a popular gemstone. Diamond has an isometric crystallography. It is most common and popular in its clear variety, but also occurs in many other colours, called fancies, which are rarer and more expensive.

Diamond was used during ancient times as a talisman against cowardice and was recognized as a “stone to enhance invulnerability”. It rallies strength with age and maintains the energy to stimulate unity and love of oneself and others.
