Crystals for Weight Loss

Weekly post on a Crystal Combo for healing! Many people ask me for Crystal Healing to lose weight. There is no magic pill (or Crystal) for this, and after looking at the emotions involved and the nutrition guidelines being followed, I will go for the Crystals. My genre of Energy Healing is to look at the causes behind the symptoms. So, with weight loss, I look at the Metabolism, not just burning fat and calories. If your Metabolism is sluggish, there is alot more involved than burning fat. In balancing out your body's metabolic rate, certain glands and organs are involved, and that is what I focus in on during the session or in making the Crystal Grid. For the Hypothalamus, I use Sodalite, Amethyst and Labradorite, all placed around the head. For the Kidneys, I use Carnelian and Rose Quartz, placed on the Kidneys. For the Liver, I use Chevron Amethyst on the Liver, and for the Spleen, I use Malachite on the Spleen. You could also make a grid with the intention of balancing out your Metabolism for the most beneficial outcome.

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice 2013!!! The Summer Solstice this year begins on June 20th at 10:04 pm PST. This will be the beginning of the time when the sun is farthest away from the Earth, resulting in the longest day of the year. Sounds a bit daunting, doesn't it! A longer day??? uggggh! LOL! No, actually it signifies the time when the sun is shining bright for a bit longer than in the winter; we are able to experience the energy of the Sun for a bit longer every day.  What can be done during the Solstice? Ceremony!!! You can welcome in this time of new energy by a number of different types of rituals/ceremonies-remember, any time there is a shift in energy is a great time for a ceremony. You want to look at what you intend to bring into your life as a new beginning, what can be given energy in your life, and what can you grow (literally, and spiritually) into prosperity and abundance over the next couple of months. Many Ancient Civilizations carried out ceremonies during this time to honor the Sun and the Earth, due to the fact that Mother Nature led their way in agriculture and quality of life, instead of the modern days filled with Google and many charts. This is a great time to get back to basics, get grateful and tune yourself into the vibration/energy of the Sun and the cycle that is happening right now. I will be making an altar with Carnelian and Citrine, Marigolds and Blanket Flowers, a photo of my Family, an intention, an issue to release and many blessings and prayers added to that! Considering that the largest 'Supermoon' is this Sunday, the 23rd, I would highly suggest to ground yourself fully, drink a ton of water, and listen to the changes that are swirling around you. This kind of energetic change is not very common, just ground yourself and soak it in!  Jess

Re-tune Your Crystals!

My biggest 'Aha' moment with Crystals was when I learned the simplest technique on re-tuning them. Over the years I have soaked them in water (ruining some), buried them in special salts (losing some), and even put them in the bright sunlight (fading some). The knowledge that I bring forward to you is to re-tune your Crystals with music! With tunes-pardon the pun-LOL! Crystals have the D.O.R. (dominant oscillary rate) over everything that vibrates. The basis of Crystal Healing is that they vibrate to a certain frequency based on a number of components, and that is able to cause a change in humans, animals and plants. So, it only makes sense to re-tune a vibration with another vibration that is constant as well. There are too many variables to be looked at in order to re-tune your Crystals in water or salt-hardness scale being the most important. Also, on the aesthetic side, too much sunlight may fade a darker crystal, although the vibration will ramp up to where it is supposed to be. All that is necessary is to play a few minutes of your favorite music for your Crystals, or use a tuning fork, or Crystal Bowl, or even chimes. It is that simple. The vibration of the sound will 'wake up' the Crystal and it will go back to its D.O.R. The times in which to re-tune your Crystals are when you first get them, due to being constantly assaulted from when they are pulled out of the host/ground, to being tossed in a bucket, carved, tumbled, etc. Re-tune a Crystal if it has been dropped, or when working around a person with an extreme condition that causes a rapid change in vibration rate-trauma, PTSD, Psychosis, etc. Also, when there is a natural disaster-talk about an intense vibration! All that happens to the vibration rate is that it becomes a bit wobbly. Crystals do not 'take on' the energy of people or animals around them-they are in constant vibration rate, and do not suck in energy, but instead they put out energy. Your Crystal will always go back to its original vibration rate on its own, although it will take some time to do so. By you re-tuning it, you are further bonding with your Crystal and being an awesome caretaker of something that you love
