Rutilated Quartz, mangano calcite and peridot are stones that assist in self forgiveness.  Excellent in letting go of the past and reaching to the root of the problem, rutilated quartz promotes forgiveness on all levels when used during meditation.  Mangano calcite’s gentle energy soothes and alleviates the emotions with the forgiveness process.  This may be worn as a pendant near the heart chakra.  Peridot, a green heart stone also stabilizes and soothes in forgiveness. A tumbled stone put in the pocket during the day works well.

For forgiveness of situations and relationships, rhodonite, apache tear are very helpful.  Apache helps alleviate sadness and frustration.  Apache tear helps relieve sadness and promote forgiveness.  It works well in a grid with both rhodonite and peridot or is a single stone put under the pillow at night.  Rhodonite helps heal old wounds of the heart.  Rhodonite can be used in an elixir.  For directions on how to make elixirs, go to http://crystal-life.com/blog/gemstone-elixirs/.

Greenman-New Hampshire

Working with nature is a matter of building trust, and an accumulation of adjusting your frequency to others. When this occurs, the nature spirit of the tree, or living in the tree, comes forward to communicate with you. The spirits are very beautiful, very individual. Each area has their own energy, and this energy permeates the consciousness of the people and the places. I don’t feel we humans appreciate enough the significance the nature spirits and their energy plays on our human activities.

The energy of Northern New Hampshire is stoic, with stern profiles and thin mouths of silent strength. That of the Fox River Valley in Illinois is gentler, and the spirits are interested in community and cooperation. The California Redwoods are rich and jovial. The Colorado Rockies sit silently secure.

We are celebrating this variation with an exhibit at Crystal Life called Faces in the Forest. Do stop in to visit with our forest earth-relatives – and stay tuned: we’ll have the images up on our website very soon!

1. Stand up and stomp your feet.

2. Put your hands together in front of your heart and put slight pressure on the two middle fingers. Then breath in and out deeply 3 to 5 times or until you feel a sense of calm.

3. While sitting imagine roots growing out of your feet and into the ground. Imagine that the roots are going through the earth’s crust and deep into the earth. Connect your roots to the core of mother earth. Then feel the warm, orange molten rock energy coming up the roots into your body. The war orange energy warms your feet and travels up your legs to eventually fill your entire body.

4. Take your shoes off and walk on the grass.

5. Say to your self, ” I am HERE NOW” to bring your attention back to whar you are doing.

6. Carry a ground stone and hold it while putting your intention on being grounded.

7. Meditate with a stone that helps to ground you.

There are many stones that can help you ground.

Aragonite helps you feel comfortable in your body.

Boji stones help to balance and ground your energy.

Yellow Calcite used with unakite helps you keep your energy field clear while remaining stable even during all the earth changes.

Galena is very grounding and so is Hematite.

Black tourmaline is protective and grounding.

Pyrite helps you feel centered and present.

I do not recommend using all of the stones at once as not all these crystals go well together as is the case with hematite and black tourmaline(the tourmaline allows negativity to flow through and out and the hematite puts up a block).

Each stone works with each individual differently. It is best to come in and see which one works best for you.

She was in an area where the land is open, houses far apart, and family were out in the field, but she suspected they weren’t alone. What do you think?

Everyone was instinctively or intuitively buying Lapis Lazuli this weekend.  Did you wear yours?

Lapis is a protective stone especially where psychic attack is concerned.  It blocks and returns the energy to the sender or source.  It will balance the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels preventing depression and disease.  It also encourages taking charge of one’s life as well as allowing you to walk safely through those energies.  Do you have your Lapis Lazuli with you?
